A new geosynthetics reference manual created by the IGS and drafted by some of the industry’s top practitioners launched today.
The IGS Geosynthetics Handbook is a one-stop technical reference guide suitable for all levels of experience in geosynthetics. The printed digest offers a concise yet comprehensive summary of the fundamental applications of geosynthetics and is an essential reference guide for student, instructor or civil engineering professional.
Edited by industry guru Dr. George R. Koerner, the compendium is a ‘living document’ which will be continually updated to incorporate industry developments and latest research.
Dr. Koerner said he had “great pride and satisfaction” in finally seeing the Handbook in print and thanked all those involved in bringing the project to fruition, including support from the IGS Foundation and IGS Premium Corporate Members.
Take a look at this short video with Handbook contributor Kent von Maubeuge on the document’s development.
IGS President Samuel Allen said, “Our Handbook also demonstrates the IGS’s continued commitment to geosynthetics education, providing value to our members, their customers and the wider public. Many dedicated hours were contributed by the IGS Technical Committees and the IGS Education Committee. Their expertise is represented in this IGS publication.”
