Creating Marshes with Recycled Sediment
The coastal marshes of Louisiana and other states are a valuable resource. Sadly, in many areas they are slowly disappearing. By working together with ports and other industries, we can use river sediment to restore shrinking marshland.
HOME Habitat Modeling
GeoEngineers developed the HOME (Habitat Optimization Modeling of Ecosystems) model as a unique visualization tool to help us predict the quality of river habitat and ecosystems through time, based on proposed changes to the river system. This video shows the modeling software in action, and demonstrates the power the HOME approach can have on river […]
Drilling in the River: Geotechnical Investigations in the Mississippi and Beyond
Reliable drilling investigations are the cornerstone of geotechnical work. The soil data our drill teams gather is the basis of most of GeoEngineers’ geotechnical designs and recommendations. Even in ideal conditions, drilling operations can be challenging and unpredictable. But when we need soil information from below a river bottom it requires a team of exceptional […]
