The document discusses constructing a multi-purpose broadcasting backdrop that is 7 feet tall and extends to 10 feet 3 inches wide and 9 feet wide. It has wheels installed for easy maneuvering and mounts installed for a whiteboard, extra backdrop rolls, and a bucket of whiteboard markers. The second part summarizes jobs done during a co-op education placement, including salvaging docks, capping underwater sewage lines, underwater lumber recovery, and overhauling Toronto Harbors.

Sand Access Road for mining - South Africa
High-quality deposits of zircon and other rare materials can be found in the sands of Tormin beach. However, extracting them presented a world-class challenge, as the Mineral Commodities heavy equipment necessary must traverse especially soft sand, with extremely poor bearing capacity.
Check some insights in this short version of the case study
Environmental benefits of Double Twist solutions dec 2017
An independent study demonstrated that the use Gabions in retaining walls and Reno Mattresses in river revetments, offers a reduced carbon footprint in comparison with the construction of traditional rip-rap revetments and concrete wall solutions. Maccaferri offers high-quality solutions which maximise the opportunity to reuse materials available on-site. This saves on the export and import of materials from the site, reducing polluting truck movements, quarrying and disposal of waste materials in landfills.
GE201023
This document discusses landslip prevention and mitigation works for two sites in Hong Kong - the Sham Tseng San Tsuen Site and the Hong Lok Yuen and Wu Uk sites. For the Sham Tseng site, the works include soil nails, rigid barriers, baffles, flexible barriers, and landscaping. For the Hong Lok Yuen site, the works include soil nails, rigid barriers, and flexible barriers, with constraints from the residential neighborhood. For the Wu Uk site, the works include soil nails and buttressing to mitigate open hillslope landslides and boulder fall hazards.

ODOT uses longitudinal grooving for safety on asphalt as well as concrete pav...International Grooving & Grinding Association
The Ohio DOT specifies longitudinal diamond grooving (which helps reduce hydroplaning, increases drainage at the tire/pavement interface and aids in vehicle control) on concrete bridge decks. The superior safety performance encouraged the department to use the technique on several sections of asphalt pavement.Officine Maccaferri Spa: Rockfall protection & Natural hazard mitigation
Rockfall protection and mitigation are key elements in the security and safety of people and our infrastructure: roads, rail, mines and buildings. Maccaferri can help to mitigate and reduce natural hazards: for that we work with our clients to engineer a solution from our broad range of systems, often using them in combination.

Officine Maccaferri Spa: Double Twist Products 2016
We are pleased to introduce you to Maccaferri Double Twist Steel Wire mesh, and provide an overview of our products and related solutions that are engineered from it.
The ‘double twist’ connection locks the wires together: it is more flexible, stronger and has greater punch resistance than other mesh types.
Compliant with International Standards (EN, ASTM, SANS, NBR, etc).
Certified by Third-parties (CE Marked, BBA Certified, etc).
As always, our technical teams are ready to support your project queries.
Turkey - Retaining Wall case study
The complex needed a retaining wall to create a road and parking area on a 15m unstable slope. Conventional concrete walls would be too expensive and prone to cracking, while segmental walls would be complicated. The solution was a unique design using PRS-Neoloy geocells, with 3 terraced walls up to 15m high on the 75 degree slope. The geocell walls provided global stability, flexibility to withstand earth movements per seismic codes, and a long lifespan, at a lower cost than traditional options.
Typical Applications for Cementitious Grout
Publication covers typical uses for economical cementitious grout in a variety of large- and small-scale civil and commercial construction projects, including specific uses within these broad categories: soil stabilization, groundwater control, soil strengthening, and sealing fissures in rock and concrete structures.

Project Management - Marina bay Sands
The document discusses the Marina Bay Sands project in Singapore. It was a complex integrated resort development completed in 2010 with over 2,500 hotel rooms, a large convention center, shopping mall, museum, theaters, and casino. Some of the major challenges included building on reclaimed land requiring deep foundations, constructing the inclined towers which involved complex temporary works, and building the cantilevered SkyPark that bridges the towers and had to accommodate tower movements. The project ultimately went 58% over its initial budget estimate due to rising construction costs and labor shortages.
SFPR-Project-Profile_0
Nilex provided multiple geosynthetic solutions for the construction of the 40 km South Fraser Perimeter Road in British Columbia. This included geogrids, geotextiles, and mechanically stabilized earth walls and slopes to address challenges from poor soils and proximity to the Fraser River. Nilex's solutions saved $810,000 and reduced CO2 emissions by 605 tons compared to conventional construction methods. The road was completed ahead of schedule and was the first major project outside the US to receive Greenroads certification.
Coal_Drain_APP-SHEET
The document discusses GSE CoalDrain geocomposites, which are designed to address the problem of filtering very fine-grained soils like coal combustion byproducts. CoalDrain uses an innovative composite filter called CoalTex laminated to a high flow geonet. This allows filtration of fine soils without issues like clogging or piping. CoalDrain is useful for leachate collection systems under coal ash landfills, as it requires less preparation than traditional sand and gravel layers and takes up less space. Extensive testing has shown CoalDrain effectively retains fine particles while draining liquids, and maintains performance over the long-term.
PlastiFab GeoSpec Lightweight Fill Material PIB218
PlastiFab GeoSpec® Lightweight Fill Material PIB218
GeoSpec® lightweight fill material is expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam used in ground fill applications where a lightweight fill material is required to reduce stresses on underlying or adjoining soils/structures. EPS geofoam has been used in projects involving roads, bridge approach fills, embankments, levees, berms, foundations, landscaping, etc.,
Highway 6 - Israel
The Cross Israel Highway needed to add a third lane in each direction to accommodate increased traffic. Using a conventional approach of asphalt and stone layers would be expensive. AECON tested using Neoloy Geocells to reinforce the base layer, allowing for lower quality granular infill and a 23% reduction in asphalt. This resulted in both construction cost savings and higher load capacity compared to conventional methods.
Tyresoil Retaining Wall (Adopting a low cost Landslide Mitigation Method)
A low cost landslide method for mitigating landslide risk, in an urban community. Initiative operationalized through a Framework Agreement between the National Disaster Office of Jamaica the General Counsel of Martinique.
Foundation Stabilization for Reservoir Geomembrane, India
Poor soil required ground stabilization and improvement of bearing capacity for the foundation of power station cooling ponds to protect the geomembrane from differential settlement and failure.
Israel Shipyard Project
The wharfs at Haifa Port in Israel, a major eastern Mediterranean shipping hub, were suffering from severe cracking and deterioration of working platforms that required frequent maintenance. To reinforce the unstable sand subgrade in a more durable and cost-effective way than conventional concrete, the port installed PRS Neoloy geocells filled with dredged sea sand. This provided a strong yet flexible reinforcement that reduced construction time and costs while increasing the lifespan and load capacity of the wharf surfaces.
Tailings lagoon dewatering el mochito honduras
The document discusses using Geotube dewatering technology to construct dams at the El Mochito mine in Honduras. There was an unstable landslide area above the mine's tailings lagoon that threatened to release debris into the lagoon. Two Geotube dams were designed as mitigation. The dams were constructed by layering and filling Geotube containers with mine tailings to create solid structures weighing 1,500 and 3,000 metric tons. This stabilized the landslide area and protected the tailings lagoon.
