It is becoming increasingly evident how the role of geotechnical and structural monitoring is a fundamental element for sustainable development and risk reduction. Geological processes, climate change, and natural resources exploitation are causing potentially dangerous interactions with our natural and build environment. Therefore, geotechnical and structural monitoring is essential to improve everyone’s safety, infrastructure optimization, […]
The Center for Engineering Geosciences and Geohazards in Appalachia (CEGGA) is proud to be sponsoring the 20th Annual Technical Forum on Geohazards. The purpose of the CEGGA is to provide a forum whereby engineering geoscientists and related professionals, researchers, and students can utilize a collaborative platform to develop and strengthen innovative methods and technology in […]
Founded in 2002, GeoStabilization International grew from a passion to protect people from the risk of geohazards, and a drive to do so with cutting-edge solutions that increase efficiency, decrease cost and minimize environmental impact. Today, the leading mitigation firm in North America and New Zealand has grown to a team of more than 600 people composed of geologists, geotechnical engineers, equipment operators, […]
The Association of Geohazard Professionals is pleased to announce the addition of APEX Rockfall Mitigation LLC as a Corporate Member! Apex Rockfall Mitigation has become one of the leaders in the rockfall and geohazard stabilization industry. Continuing to create and deploy some of the most hi-tech equipment, materials, techniques, and tools available to the trade. […]
The “Geosynthetics for Geohazard Mitigation Committee” as one of the Technical Committees for AGHP has created a task group named “Projects History”. This task group is collecting state-of-the- art case studies of projects on which Reinforced Soil Structures have been used to mitigate rockfall or other types of Geohazards. The purpose is to help educate […]
Geosynthetics have a long history of use in civil engineering where they have a wide range of applications, most commonly for the stabilization or reinforcement of both natural slopes and man-made earth structures, as well as geo-environmental solutions. They are also extensively used for controlling erosion of unstable slopes. More recently, geosynthetics are increasingly being […]
