CivilGEO, Inc.
CivilGEO develops civil engineering and stormwater software that greatly speeds up an engineer’s work when performing erosion control engineering analysis. Flood studies, bridge design, dam failure, detention pond design, urban drainage and more can be analyzed and designed. Users typically save at least 50% of their engineering time using the advanced automation that the software provides. The software tightly integrates with Autodesk Civil 3D, Bentley MicroStation, as well as ESRI’s ArcGIS and ArcMap. Free demonstration versions are available for trial.

PRESTO GEOSYSTEMS
IECA Booth #301
Geosynthetics 2020 Booth #525
Presto’s GEOWEB 3D soil confinement system offers flexible solutions for challenging soil stabilization problems. The 3D system strengthens and transforms fill material, improving performance in a variety of applications. For controlling erosion, the GEOWEB system’s 3D cellular structure stabilizes the upper soil layer on slopes to resist sliding and prevent surface runoff erosion. In channel designs, the system controls stormwater and replaces expensive riprap and reinforced concrete with vegetation and poured-in-place concrete. Vegetated gravity and reinforced GEOWEB retaining walls are designed for natural aesthetics and to meet green initiatives. Using the GEOWEB system to build roads with onsite, low-quality fill reduces cost and installation time.
Presto offers free project evaluations, fast and easy specification tools, and engineering consultation.
