This webinar focused on the use of Soil Reinforced Walls for over 70 years, and how despite this period, they still remain “the new kids on the block”, compared to conventional retaining walls, due to the technology adopted in the system. The soil reinforced system is continually improved through research and development as well as the dissemination of knowledge, the old teaching the young.

What is the difference between simple and secured drapery systems used in rockfall mitigation? A simple drapery system is a passive approach applied that allows rocks to fall from the slope in a controlled manner to reduce risk, while a secured drapery system is an active approach where the system prevents the detachments of rocks from the slope surface. This webinar looked at MacRo Studio which contains two sectors, MacRo 1 for the design of secured drapery systems, and MacRo 2 for the design of simple drapery systems.
