Summary
As Founder of Fiber Reinforced Soils, I bring 35 years of developing the FiberSoils' Technology to help Civil and Geotechnical Engineers solve common Slope Repair Problems, and Steepened Slopes and Embankments with enhanced Vegetation.
Landscape Architects now have options as to design of Heavy Wheel Loading of Vehicular Traffic on Natural Turf Surfaces for Turf Parking and Emergency Fire Access Lane Applications. Athletic Fields , Event Lawns, Turf Parking, Heavily Traveling Pedestrian Pathways are great Applications for FiberSoils' Technology.
