CivilGEO

CivilGEO develops civil engineering software that greatly speeds up an engineer’s work. CivilGEO’s first product, GeoHECRAS, automates much of the workflow required for constructing and analyzing a HEC-RAS model. Users typically save at least 50% of their engineering time using the advanced automation that the software provides. The software can be used to analyze existing bridge and culvert structures as well as design new roadway crossing structures. The software tightly integrates with Autodesk Civil 3D, Bentley MicroStation as well as Esri’s ArcGIS and ArcMap. A 1D or 2D analysis can be performed for bridges and culverts, including performing bridge scour computations. A free demonstration version of GeoHECRAS is available for trial.

Lindapter

Established in 1934, Lindapter designs and manufactures unique steel-to-steel connection systems, which provide a faster alternative to drilling or welding in the field. ICC approved Girder Clamps are ideal for use on bridges, as new steel components can be lifted into position and quickly clamped onto the existing structure using standard tools.

Lindapter’s product line includes the ICC approved Hollo-Bolt for HSS and floor fasteners such as the Grate-Fast. Typical applications include securing reinforcing steel frames to the underside of a bridge deck, supporting pipework from the structural frame and attaching open bar grating to form maintenance walkways. Bridge projects include Manhattan, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Walt Whitham and Goethals bridges. No drilling or welding results in unparalleled flexibility and time savings during installation, but also eliminates hot permits and associated costs.

MMFX Technologies, a Commercial Metals Company (CMC)

MMFX Technologies offers high-strength concrete reinforcing steels (ChromX) with varying levels of corrosion resistance. Designers utilize the high-strength efficiencies and best match the corrosion protection requirements of the structure to meet the targeted service life. 

Utilizing the high strength of ChromX rebar (Grades 100 and 120), designers reduce construction costs, shorten build times, resolve rebar congestion issues, enhance site safety and improve sustainability. Building codes and design guides supporting high-strength designs are available through the ACI, ICC and AASTHO.

ChromX rebar’s uncoated, corrosion resistance is derived from the steel’s chemistry and microstructure, resulting in a bar that can be handled and fabricated like conventional rebar, without the risk of damage, repair or inspection issues. ChromX is available coast-to-coast: product can be purchased in truckload quantities mill direct. Fabrication services are also offered through CMC’s nationwide distributor network, making MMFX Technologies the one-stop solution for all corrosion resistant and high strength steel needs.

Tensar

TriAx Geogrid

A geogrid is a geosynthetic material used to stabilize soil. Geogrids have openings, called apertures, which allow aggregate to strike through and provide confinement and interlock. All geosynthetics are not created equal. TriAx Geogrid has been tested extensively to ensure long-term performance and value.

Tensar’s patented TriAx Geogrid product is designed specifically for trafficked surfaces. This punched polypropylene sheet features triangular apertures that provide stiffness, stability, and compression to paved and unpaved roadway surfaces.

TriAx Geogrids spread road loads over a wider area of subgrade, lessening impact and reducing installation and maintenance costs. TriAx is the only geogrid with a methodology extensively reviewed by an independent third party to ensure it complies with design standards outlined by AASHTO.

Applied Bolting Technology

Applied Bolting Technology produces DuraSquirt DTIs. Each DuraSquirt DTI supplies an easy-to-see, bright-orange indicator to quickly show when bolts have been properly tensioned.

Since AASHTO specification includes Self-Indicating DTIs to signal when sufficient bump compression has been reached, bridge construction can benefit from visual installation and inspection without the daily hassles, costs and inaccuracies of torque testing and match-marking.

One DOT compared Turn-of-Nut to Squirter DTIs. They found the Squirter DTIs saved them $1 a bolt on installation and inspection after they recouped the initial cost of the DTI. This resulted in less than 1% rejection rate.

Call for the field test comparison.

Hanes Geo Components

ScourStop is a geosynthetic transition mat designed to replace rock in many stormwater applications: pipe outfalls, channels, etc.

ScourStop is a 4’ x 4’ x 4/10” HDPE mat with 50% open area. It protects vegetation from the erosive forces of stormwater. The 50% open area provides optimal vegetative cover and scour protection. ScourStop complements reinforced turf and sod. It stops or prevents scour.

ScourStop is green in color. It is also “GREEN” – as in GREEN ENGINEERING.

ScourStop’s best applications, often urban, are where a grassed environment is preferred. ScourStop enables grass to thrive in areas which otherwise could not exist due to the erosive forces of stormwater.

If you want GREEN, Scourstop may be the answer.

Our process reduces overall tonnage, minimizes required connections and accelerates erection times. The SidePlate team gets involved early and stays involved through the engineering, detailing, fabrication and erection phases to ensure a simple and successful project.

SidePlate designed connections are much stiffer than other moment connections, improving the entire lateral system. There is no cost or obligation for us to evaluate a project at any stage. Do you know what a SidePlate design looks like for your project?

Silt-Saver

Storm Drain Inlet Protection. The large frame is designed to protect the inlets in new construction sump conditions. Installs in minutes. The reusable Inlet protection dome saves you money in materials, maintenance and labor cost. The round frame, with a diameter of 60”, fits perfectly over the tapered edge of the precast inlet. Rock bags, built into the filter, provide the perimeter seal around the frame. The patented designs of the Silt-Saver Frame and Filter Assemblies are key elements in the BMP treatment train for job sites across the U.S., and in Canada and Puerto Rico. Available in Two Filter Options: DOT 2 Stage & High Flow.

UNI-GROUP U.S.A

Manufactured nationwide by local UNI Manufacturers, Eco-Priora permeable interlocking concrete pavers infiltrate stormwater runoff on-site, saving money by combining parking and detention in one system. Reduces impacts on combined storm/sewer systems, mitigates runoff volumes and peak flows, and reduces heat island effects. Eco-Priora is an EPA-recommended best-management practice and qualifies for LEED and other green rating systems credits.

Eco-Priora features interlocking spacers that offer superior structural stability under traffic loading and withstands turning movements without surface degradation or raveling. Permeable interlocking concrete pavement infiltration is maintained by street sweeping/vacuuming and allows for seamless repair if underground access is required. Eco-Priora is suitable for use in any climate and is suited to both pedestrian and vehicular applications.
