What are the benefits of geosynthetics? Geosynthetics are synthetic materials used in civil engineering to improve soil properties and performance. They offer various benefits: 1. Separation: Prevents soil layers from mixing, enhancing stability and drainage. 2. Reinforcement: Adds strength to soil, reducing settlement and boosting slope stability. 3. Filtration: Allows water flow while stopping soil erosion. 4. Drainage: Channels water away, reducing pressure and preventing erosion. 5. Containment: Keeps liquids or solids in place, preventing contamination. 6. Protection: Shields materials from damage, extending structure life. Choose the right geosynthetic for your project needs. Consult with our senior pavement engineers to decide whether geosynthetics are suitable for your pavement needs.

Don't like it, it is a fail from me, as a compliance Auditor I would not approve this at all in its current application format. If you go to any of the information sites this component is clever and effective, but as you note even from this video, the primary application is high water table areas. This is a short term fix to cheat the soil testing and compaction system nothing more. This is like constructing buildings in dry lake beds during a drought. This has zero infrastructure to "keep" the water out and from destabilizing a mega-structure full of people above it, we know this because you would need to build the underground water lockout system before you drained the ground. On that note, I suggest a change to construction law requirements globally and whilst My IQ and speed of thought may be unfair to compare to general engineers to miss some things; there is a primary comprehension fail in #engineering globally, (and no regardless of the rebuking claims that always follow new information I provide, no this is not published anywhere or a government requirement anywhere.) In Australia there are laws against contouring land to alter natural water-flow courses on farms, there are even Environmental protection laws from doing it with your fence (though widely ignored). What you do not have are laws or regulations pertaining to the redirection/contouring of underground water only usage (bores) and contamination laws. We have it above ground as it causes damages to neighboring properties, from erosion to water denial for crops and animals and wildlife. Your first step is independent #hydrology and #geological reports of the existing ground water and where diversion will travel if diverted, when seepage is removed as above where will it return? as a danger to the infrastructure or elsewhere if a redirection/barrier system is sought. For those wondering why this is important, floating slabs only work 2 stories or less. When the moisture returns you do not need an earthquake to produce #liquefaction, simply trains or high density traffic vibrations. I live half a kilometer from a train line and I can feel it, even semi trailers 200 metres away. High rise buildings vibrate from wind creating the same problem. A construction law for all high rises in places like #Dubai should require all new and existing buildings to have ground water/moisture detection systems installed; this will preemptively save many lives as climate changes are not merely rain or drought, cold and heat, new high winds to areas unknown to them are already starting to occur. Were any of the high rises in coastal areas built to Cat 5 ratings? Cat 4? Cat 3? Cat 2? You do not need a cyclone to get Cat 1, My Australian home is 500km inland and we get 100klm per hour winds every year (Cat 1). You cannot un-build these super structures, but Hydro-logical safety is the new industry, because wind is a new approaching #climate danger. A C Quinn 30/08/2024

Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement technique used to enhance soil properties by densifying loose, granular soils or fills. This method involves repeatedly dropping a heavy weight, typically ranging from 8 to 30 tons, from a significant height (up to 30 meters) onto the soil surface. The impact energy compacts the soil, increasing its density and stability, which reduces settlement and improves its load-bearing capacity. This process can be repeated in a grid pattern to achieve uniform improvement across a site. Dynamic compaction is particularly effective for treating deep, loose, non-cohesive soils and is often used in construction projects to prepare the ground for buildings, roadways, and other structures.

Navigating the intricate landscape of #construction begins with a fundamental aspect – accurate land #measurement. Accurate measurement of land is essential and it becomes simpler when dealing with neatly shaped areas like squares or circles. For instance, calculating the area of a parallelogram is easy using the formula (20 x (35 x 45)/2, resulting in 800 Sq.Ft or 74.32 Sq.m (1 Sq.m = 10.76 Sq.ft). However, real construction sites often don't follow precise geometric shapes. When lands come in various shapes and sizes, precision is key. 👉 Let’s explore Types of Land Measurement #Equipment and their uses!

Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD) accelerate soil consolidation, enhancing stability and reducing construction time for infrastructure projects. Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD) are geosynthetic materials used to accelerate soil consolidation in soft, compressible soils. They consist of a plastic core wrapped in a filter fabric, allowing water to flow through while preventing soil particles from clogging the drain. Installed vertically into the ground, PVDs reduce the distance that pore water must travel, thereby speeding up the process of excess pore water pressure dissipation and soil settlement. This technique is commonly used in infrastructure projects like road embankments, airports, and port areas where rapid consolidation is needed to improve ground stability and bearing capacity. By using PVDs, construction time and costs can be significantly reduced compared to traditional methods like surcharge loading.

Pumping Station design specifications that enhance the natural environment.   At ESP, we work with developers to produce low-impact pumping station designs that support the construction of assets that are both environmentally sustainable (by removing unnecessary impermeable surfaces) and create a more aesthetic landscape across the development. This is achieved by implementing a holistic approach that considers both future maintenance and how the built environment impacts the landscape, enabling the removal of unsightly fencing and tarmac compounds traditionally used.   These standards support a commercial benefit to the developer by removing the requirement for unnecessary civil construction activities.   It's a win for: 🌳 the environment, 🌳 future communities, 🌳 developer's overall project costs, 🌳 BNG targets, 🌳 and future operational activities.   If you have a complex site sitting on your desk at the moment that you could do with some advice on, please contact us to see how we can help you navigate the complexities and your BNG obligations: https://lnkd.in/euGNdKmw   #utilities #NAV #PumpingStation #surfacewater
