Participants Earn One Professional Development Hour.*

EDUCATIONAL WEBINAR OVERVIEW

Floods are made more likely by the extreme weather patterns caused by long-term global climate change.  They can be triggered by intense precipitation, longer duration, close repetition of precipitation or a combination of these.  Flooding affects homes, communities and business directly, and also disrupts vital services, resource flows and transportation networks.  In this webinar, we will review several projects key in mitigating flooding conditions.  Information will be provided regarding the initial project challenges, key design elements, and the unique solutions that helped to meet challenging project site conditions and changing environmental circumstances.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • How to utilize hard armor design methodologies and applicable factors of safety for protection against hydraulic forces
  • New global innovations for coastal and shoreline protection
  • How to leverage the Contech Engineered Solutions Team to support your erosion protection needs
