Canada is blessed with a diverse landscape. But with diversity arise challenges beneath the ground in terms of the "geological foundation conditions".
Solutions exist for many of Canada's upcoming infrastructure challenges.
Soft compressible soils, prone to settlement, are a challenge for today's designers. But not an impossible challenge with the collective efforts of today's engineers/designers.
One solution is the Two-Stage wall system utilized by Alberta Transportation at Anthony Henday Drive almost a decade ago. The soil reinforced structure is comprised of a polymeric geogrid, which offers many benefits beyond its proven use, and more specifically; when it comes to durability in the Canadian Climate.
