GeoTalk is the podcast of Geosynthetica, an international geotechnical engineering publication dedicated to geosynthetics, sustainable infrastructure, and innovation: www.geosynthetica.com.
27 MAG 2020 · Geosynthetica Editor Chris Kelsey checks in on the impact of COVID on geotechnical engineering events, including EuroGeo 7, the Canadian Geotechnical Society annual conference, Slope Stability 2020 in Australia, and TRI Environmental's renowned geosynthetics CQA courses.
8 MAG 2020 · Geosynthetica Editor Chris Kelsey sits down with Kent von Maubeuge to discuss the rapidly growing group of construction materials known as multi-component geosynthetic clay liners. These GCLs offer unique performance enhancements for containment applications in infrastructure.
3 DIC 2018 · Phil McGoldrick shares his experience in international market development and geosynthetics, as his company, Strata Geosystems, prepares to triple its capacity.
20 DIC 2017 · This week, we talk with Tom Williams, a 40-year veteran of disturbed land reclamation work, much of which has been in connection with mining activities. Tom is the VP Environmental Affairs of Fiore Gold US Inc., and he’s also one of the featured speakers at the International Erosion Control Association 2018 Conference and Exhibition.
17 OTT 2017 · Landfill engineering has advanced significantly over the past 35 years. Geosynthetic lining, capping, and final cover systems have had a lot to do with that success. ClosureTurf is one of fastest growing final cover systems in use. We checked in with Chris Eichelberger of Agru America about the system's long-term benefits, other applications using it, and more.
27 SET 2017 · Geosynthetics have achieved some remarkable levels of performance in infrastructure, playing a big role while being only a small part within any project. Biogeotechnical engineering may play a similar role in the future, including in projects alongside geosynthetics. We interviewed Kimberly Martin, a researcher at the Center for Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired Geotechnics at Arizona State University, about this emerging field.
20 SET 2017 · With so many infrastructure applications relying upon 40 or 60-mil black high-density polyethylene geomembranes, and so many manufacturers providing them, black HDPE has started to feel more like a commodity product. Or is it the tremendous R&D going on in geomembranes that makes standard black HDPE seem like a commodity? Paul Payeur of Solmax discusses geomembrane trends and the continuing push towards reinvention.
12 SET 2017 · Nearly 80 years of erosion data in the United States informs the massive RUSLE 2 database, led by the US Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service. In this episode, Dave Lightle shares his 40+ years of experience with the RUSLE 2 mathematical prediction tool for erosion processes and better land management planning, including how the system extended beyond being a tool for farmers and ranchers and now enhances designs in urban runoff, mine remediation, landfill capping, and more.
6 SET 2017 · The Alaska Department of Transportation brought a specific engineering challenge to TenCate Geosynthetics: the need to enhance lateral drainage from roadway subgrades to minimize frost boils. The company came back not only with a design solution but a new type of geotextile, one which is now finding many different applications. Mark Sikkema of TenCate Geosynthetics discusses the development and uses of this enhanced wicking geosynthetic.
30 AGO 2017 · Joe Little of Little Environments PLLC spent some years working in Australia, where geosynthetics have frequently been deployed in coastal applications. When he returned to the United States, he established his own practice. Now, he draws upon experience and unique project approaches from around the world in creating locally effective strategies for improving inland waterways, coastlines, and marine habitats. Geosynthetics continue to be one of his most effective tools.
