DOWNLOAD NOW! Geofoam Applications for Transportation InfrastructureThis webinar will discuss the application of geosynthetic products for use in coal combustion residual (CCR) landfills and impoundments. The webinar will provide an overview of the available product categories including geosynthetic clay liners and geomembranes, and will discuss engineering considerations for using these products in CCR containment applications. Both design and construction considerations will be addressed.
This short course is being offered in conjunction with geomembrane manufacturer Filmtex in Bogota, Colombia. Attendees will gain a broad and current knowledge of new regulations, design trends, permitting requirements, and construction techniques involving geosynthetics in water containment, tunnels, mining, waste management, and oil and gas development.
Attendees will gain a broad knowledge of current and emerging CCR regulations, local experience managing CCRs, and the advantages of using geosynthetics to manage and dispose of CCRs. Course attendees will earn seven (7.0) PDHs. Lunch and break refreshments will be provided.
The FGI, in conjunction with The Ohio State University, Owens Corning Science and Technology, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and the Ohio Department of Transportation, is offering a Short Course on Geosynthetics in Civil Engineering Applications: water resources, containment, dams and conveyance, roadways, landfills, coal combustion residuals, MSE walls, and more.
