Twelve urban creek sites with damaged infrastructure were reinforced using PROPEX® engineered erosion control products. The tailored designs used PROPEX Armormax on steep slopes, PROPEX Scourlok at crossings, and Pyramattress for pipe protection, delivering strong flood resilience and natural aesthetics after multiple high-flow storms.

Across regions and areas of expertise, our teams continue to connect with customers, share technical knowledge, and showcase solutions that help build more resilient and sustainable infrastructure. Here is a snapshot of some recent highlights:

Our team exhibited at BICONEX 2026 in Legazpi City, Philippines, showcasing Solmax geosynthetic solutions for ground improvement, slope stabilization, moisture management, and water and coastal engineering.

At the WMAM Annual Conference 2026 in Genting Highlands, Malaysia, Ir. Colin Lim presented on “Landfill Capping: Advancements and the Role of Flexible LDPE Geomembranes,”

The Solmax team also connected with industry professionals at Salon du Végétal 2026 in France, highlighting solutions that support soil stability and healthy vegetation across landscaping and horticultural projects.

In Vietnam, Solmax hosted technical seminars in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, bringing together project owners and design consultants to tackle Vietnam’s most pressing infrastructure challenges. With extreme weather and rapid urbanization impacting our infrastructure, the seminars focused on sustainable, geosynthetic engineering solutions designed for the long term.

Preetish Raj represented Solmax at the 2026 Sustainability & Resilience Symposium in Arizona, presenting “Designing for Arizona’s Moisture Extremes: Building Infrastructure that Lasts”

Bill Murphy, P.E., Doug Heisterkamp, and Daniel Schertz hosted a Lunch & Learn with Bishop Engineering.

We welcomed the Talen Energy team to our Spearfish, South Dakota manufacturing facility for technical discussions, meetings, and a facility tour.

Our APAC team wrapped up a successful trip to the Rayong plant, strengthening collaboration and connections across the region and China.

From technical presentations and industry events to customer visits and team collaboration, these engagements reflect the knowledge, expertise, and partnerships that continue to move our industry forward.

Keep an eye out for our team at upcoming events.

Geosynthetic reinforcement and drainage systems supported embankment construction over weak ground, reduced consolidation time, and improved long-term performance for a new four-lane expressway in New Zealand. The design included the use of high-strength MIRAFI® geotextiles, MIRAGRID® geogrids, and Alidrain prefabricated vertical drains.

We’re proud to announce that Solmax has won the International Geosynthetics Society Corporate Case Study Competition for our project, “Decarbonizing district heating with pit thermal energy storage in Meldorf.”

This case study and win highlights the importance of sustainable solutions for delivering energy, advancing the decarbonization.

A special thank you to Thomas Labda and Timm Sievers for their contributions, and to Catrin Tarnowski for expertly presenting the case study at the 13th ICG this week.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this project - an outstanding achievement.

For ACNR’s coal slurry impoundment closure in Jefferson County, Alabama, Solmax worked with the project engineer to help address soft FCR conditions and limited fill availability. The solution used MIRAFI® CR440 with CCR fill to create safe access across the impoundment surface.
