ACE Engineering Sustainability <Vol. 3>: Reinforced Earth Embankment at Taiwan Pavilion Expo   Today in our #ACEEngineeringSustainability series, we highlight the Taiwan Pavilion Expo project in Hsinchu, where a 250m long, 10m high service road was built alongside the Long-En Canal. This road, essential for connecting downtown to Pavilion Park, needed to be aesthetically pleasing and eco-friendly without disturbing the canal’s water flow.   Instead of traditional methods, we employed a 2-stage mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall reinforced with ACEGrid®. This innovative approach featured a backward slope shape with an inclined ratio of 0.2:1 (H:V), maximizing road width while ensuring stability. Construction progressed using local materials to minimize costs and environmental impact, with stacked soil-filled ACESandbag enhancing the lush greenery now blooming around the road.   Today, this service road is not only functional but also a showcase of sustainable construction, blending utility with scenic beauty, and demonstrating ACE Geosynthetics’ commitment to innovative, eco-friendly engineering solutions.   For a detailed exploration of this project, please visit our website: https://lnkd.in/g3NEQHGt   #ACEEngineeringSustainability #Sustainability #Engineering #RoadEmbankment #ReinforcedEarthStructure #geogrid #ACEGrid

ACE Engineering Sustainability <Vol. 2>: Reinforced Earth Embankment at Zhunan Base   Today, we revisit the expansion of the Zhunan Base, aimed at alleviating congestion at the bustling Hsinchu Science Park. Completed in 2012, this project featured the construction of a green, earthquake-resistant embankment using geogrid reinforced earth structures with wrap-around facing. The embankment’s design, a 3-tiered setup with each tier inclined at a ratio of 0.2:1 (H:V), robustly supports a planned two-lane road and additional infrastructure. This system not only enhanced the mechanical stability of the embankment but also enabled the integration of lush vegetation into the structure.   Our approach drastically reduced carbon emissions compared to traditional construction methods and significantly boosted biodiversity, supporting a variety of native plants and wildlife.   For a detailed exploration of this project, please visit our website: https://lnkd.in/gQPFeKYK   #ACEEngineeringSustainability #Sustainability #Engineering #RoadEmbankment #ReinforcedEarthStructure #geogrid #ACEGrid

ACE Engineering Sustainability <Vol. 1>: Slope Rehabilitation Success   Recently, a drone survey of a project completed in 2009 offered a breathtaking view of what was once a precarious slope. The site has transformed into a thriving green landscape, a testament to the enduring benefits of our rehabilitation efforts.   In tackling the severe erosion and instability caused by past natural disasters, we adopted a composite system with key enhancements, including foundation piles and a Reinforced Earth Structure (RES). By choosing RES over reinforced concrete structures, significant reductions in carbon emissions were achieved during construction, up to 60-80% by research. This method not only stabilized the slope but also promoted environmental harmony.   More than a decade later, the area has stabilized and serves as a significant carbon sink thanks to the lush vegetation that has thrived. This green cover actively absorbs CO2, contributing further to the project's carbon reduction impact. Today, the site supports diverse local flora and fauna, contributing significantly to local biodiversity and offering natural barriers against future erosion.   This project showcases the transformative power of combining advanced engineering solutions with a commitment to environmental conservation, ensuring long-term stability and significant ecological benefits.   For a detailed exploration of this project, please visit our website: https://lnkd.in/gQcEZsSi   #ACEEngineeringSustainability #Sustainability #Engineering #SlopeRehabiliation #ReinforcedEarthStructure #geogrid #ACEGrid

A once unusable piece of land has been rejuvenated into a multifunctional ecological park, leading the way in renewable energy integration and natural habitat restoration. This project symbolizes a leap forward, using innovative approaches to generate green energy, enhance local biodiversity, and implement effective flood management strategies. The transformation lies in using geogrid-reinforced slopes, enabling the land to foster the growth of diverse plant and animal life. It's a prime example of how sustainable practices and green engineering can create resilient, educational, and environmentally harmonious spaces. This initiative highlights the power of community collaboration in creating spaces that thrive, educate, and inspire towards a sustainable future.

ACE∞™ CL-Design is a design tool for evaluating open channel lining material in accordance with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 15. Channel linings can behave to reduce the shear stress on the underlying soil surface, to stabilize the channel geometry and function. This analysis tool can be used for preliminary evaluation and design, to analyze the protection of ACE products against channel erosion.   ACEMat™ R can also be used in conjunction with our design tool - ACE∞™ CL-Design - for your initial evaluation. We record a video show how to use this tool. If you have any questions about using them, contact us.   How to Use the ACE∞™ CL Design? https://lnkd.in/dZzqtwdB ACE∞™ CL Design: https://lnkd.in/d32UPKTA...

In the wake of the recent earthquake in Ishikawa, Japan, the relevance of resilient infrastructure in seismic areas is again highlighted. Reflecting on a project in Nantou, Taiwan, along Route 131, stands as an example of this resilience.   This project, addressing complex geological challenges, including fault lines and a history of landslides, was approached with a two-tiered engineering structure. The lower section involved constructing a pile-supported reinforced concrete wall, while the upper area was stabilized using a wrap-around reinforced earth structure incorporating ACEGrid® geogrids and ACEDrain™ materials.   The complex structures stabilized the slope and recovered the vegetation. The project's success in reducing landslide risk and adapting to difficult topographies offers valuable insights for future infrastructure development in seismic zones.   For a detailed exploration of this project, please visit our website: https://lnkd.in/g2mrqAK6   #Earthquake #SeismicResilience #SlopeStabilization #LandslideRecovery
