Maintaining dirt roads can be challenging when facing heavy rain storms, wind erosion, and other factors. They destroy the surface and disrupt vehicle traffic, causing drivers inconvenience and making clients to blame. You may have marginal soils that present challenges for constant road maintenance with potholes and pooling. Clients may request dirt road construction in […]

Our world’s forests are filled with temporary and permanent roadways for commercial and public use. Loggers drive semi-trucks and other heavy machinery through forest floors for harvesting season. Other clients may construct and maintain national park roads for citizens to enjoy years down the line. No matter what kind of forest road you’re building, it’s

As the most effective gravel stabilization grid for roads, geocell cuts company costs while providing a sturdy foundation. You can bypass yearly maintenance and re-graveling high-traffic roads by making the most of the material already present. Geocell accomplishes just that by stabilizing the road itself for erosion control and a reduced environmental impact. Learn more

If you do not address pressing erosion compromise on steep slopes, the project can result in failure. Slopes with steep grades and little natural vegetation and growth are vulnerable to erosion. The forces of gravity, wind, and water can quickly undermine the structural integrity of a hill. Controlling erosion on those steep slopes isn’t just

Every civil engineer is familiar with soil stabilization for shorelines, hills, and other contexts. Most recommend natural vegetation with indigenous mulch and local compost for slope protection. They believe in an effective, non-invasive means of supporting a damaged slope without environmental harm. While this principle may be true, you may have a slope that is

Developing a parking lot from the planning phase to construction requires significant amount of technical considerations. These include but are not limited to coordinating with specialists, obtaining proper permitting, assessing for environmental conditions, and building the lot. But how much does it actually cost to build a parking lot? How much should it cost? And

When you and your firm develop a retaining wall, it isn’t just about preventing soil or earth from moving. Your job is to protect the areas around the wall, which often include busy roads, businesses, and subdivisions. The client expects a durable wall that will hold up under the elements and effectively retain soil under

While protecting slopes and hills is already challenging due to erosion control, the project becomes even more difficult if it is a sharp embankment. The general rule of thumb is the steeper the slope, the harder it is to design and construct an effective stabilization method. Similarly, the stakes as a civil engineer are greater

More and more people are using bicycles as a means of transportation. We can attribute this to increasing concerns about the environmental impacts of automobiles, a desire to maintain physical fitness, and congestion in large cities, among other reasons. Due to increased bicycle usage for both recreation and commuting, it is even more critical that

Parking lots can make a big impression on the employees and customers of any business or establishment. Though they may seem simple to the end-user, as someone who designs and constructs commercial parking lots, you understand the complexity of commercial parking lot projects. From the environmental impact to the project budget to traffic flow, many
