New BioCover alternative daily cover is cost-saving landfill
alternative that is easier to apply than soil, tarps, or plastic daily covers. A
hydraulically applied product manufactured from Thermally Refined wood fibers,
BioCover combines cellulose fiber and a viscous hydro-colloid tackifier. It
saves landfill space by increasing the surface bond to debris on the site, which
ultimately lowers blowing debris and traps odors. It also provides a uniform
layer between landfill waste and the surrounding environment, deterring unwanted
pests. Environmentally safe and nontoxic, BioCover minimizes accumulated
leachate pockets and is 100% biodegradable.

STRATA SYSTEMS
Strata Systems Inc. has announced the addition of Neoweb to
its lineup of soil reinforcement and composite geosynthetic products. Neoweb is
a honeycombed, cellular confinement system (geocell) that, when filled with
soil, stabilizes soft soils, reinforces pavement structures, and provides a
durable reinforcement solution. Neoweb promises to fundamentally change the way
soil is reinforced, making the process faster, smarter, and more cost-efficient.
Civil engineers and construction professionals are finding that it is not only a
sustainable solution that’s simple to deploy, but Neoweb’s exceptional
durability also reduces costs over the entire life span of the project.

TSI INC.
TSI Inc. offers the DustTrak II and DRX Aerosol Monitors. The
new DustTrak II and DRX Aerosol Monitors are battery-operated, data-logging,
light-scattering laser photometers that give you real-time aerosol mass
readings. These monitors measure aerosol contaminants such as dust, smoke,
fumes, and mists. They are suitable for clean office settings as well as harsh
industrial workplaces, construction and environmental sites, and other outdoor
applications. The DustTrak II and DRX Aerosol Monitors are both available in
desktop or handheld models.

MODULAR GABION SYSTEMS
The Missouri Department of Transportation opted for
mechanically stabilized earth gabion walls to stabilize and support slope
embankments along a stretch of Route 17. Gabion MSE walls have three main
components: facing element, reinforcement, and backfill. In this case, the
facing element consisted of welded wire mesh 3-feet-wide and 3-foot-high
gabions, stepped back 6 feet at every course. The reinforcement element
consisted of welded 3-inch-by-3-inch wire mesh, galvanized and PVC coated,
supplied in rolls 6 feet wide and 150 feet long. All gabions and reinforcing
mesh were supplied by Modular Gabion Systems (MGS), a division of the C.E.
Shepherd Co. in Houston, TX.

BOWMAN CONSTRUCTION SUPPLY
Biosol Mix, now a USDA-designated, bio-preferred product, is
a long-lasting, high-quality organic fertilizer and soil amendment that
activates and builds soil structure, producing healthier, stronger plants.
Nutrients will not leach, allowing plants and soils to maximize nutrients
efficiently. The product is research-proven for humus growth, complex root
formation, reduction of soil diseases, pH, and salt concentrations. Biosol is
ideal for all types of soil conditions, reclamation, roadside revegetation, new
landscaping, and maintenance programs in all growing environments.
Environmentally friendly and safe to be used in wetlands, there’s no other
fertilizer like it in the world.

MACCAFERRI
Maccaferri is pleased to announce the release of its gabion
assembly and erection video. This interactive instructional video walks through
the steps to properly assemble and erect Maccaferri gabions. The gabion assembly
and erection video shows users how to build a gabion wall as per ASTM standards.
The video discusses proper filling procedures, including stone sizing and stone
placement techniques to minimize wall deformation. Step-by-step illustrations
show how to fill each cell correctly.

JW FAIRCLOTH
Faircloth Skimmer surface drains float on the surface of the
sediment basin as it fills and drains, releasing the cleanest water from the
surface instead of draining muddy water from the bottom as conventional outlets
do. The skimmer drains the basin slowly over several days at a constant rate to
maximize settling. The adjustable orifice regulates the filling and drawdown of
the basin and improves efficiency. Additional information including cut sheets
and a sizing template is available on the company Web site.
