Klyde Warren Park
Project Spotlight: Located in the heart of downtown Dallas, the Klyde Warren Park is a combination of a green roof, bridge and tunnel positioned on top of the Woodall Rodgers Freeway. In order to support a deck over the 200 foot wide freeway, this unique greenspace was constructed using geo-foam and engineered lightweight soil. By designing the deck with trenches formed between the structural beams, trees were given room to grow and only required temporary stabilization for the initial planting period. Platipus Tree Anchoring Systems provided the needed support and eliminated tree staking allowing for a safe and sustainable landscape.

World Engineering Day
Today we are proud to celebrate National Engineering Day and how engineering can #ImproveLives. This may be creating a solar park to generate clean renewable energy and reduce the effects of climate change, designing pipeline infrastructure to deliver valuable resources to communities, constructing resilient flood defences to protect towns or simply designing attractive accessible landscapes to improve physical/mental health and well-being.
Using our innovative ground anchoring solutions we are pleased raise public awareness of how engineers, from all industry sectors, make a difference in the world.
Navy Pier in Chicago
Some fantastic photos of Navy Pier in Chicago captured at different times of the day. The pier boasts shopping and dining options along with a botanical garden, a Ferris wheel and many seasonal activities. To alleviate stability and safety concerns on the pier, caused by extreme wind gusts off Lake Michigan, 100 Marmo Maples were secured using the subsurface Platipus Deadman Rootball Fixing System.
The Annual Southeastern Transportation Geotechnical Engineering Conference
We are exhibiting at SOUTHEASTERN TRANSPORTATION GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort in Daytona Beach, Florida.
This conference will explore the challenges and advances in Geotechnical, Geological, Geophysical, and Geo-environmental Engineering. The Geotechnical field is constantly increasing in its complexity and rate of change. This conference aims to bring together designers, practitioners and research professionals involved in current geotechnical problems and technologies.
