Dedicated towards increasing civil and environmental engineering confidence in using synthetic materials as a cost-effective means of complementing or substituting earthen materials, and supporting implementation of technology through use of best practice design methodologies, AGS is pleased to offer the following: 

Research:

Published papers from practitioners, academicians, and industry participants, design manuals, design checklist, and USEPA guidance documents.

Design:

  1. Innovative cost savings, performance enhancing design presentations:

  • Provides engineering firms seeking cost-effective landfill designs with a solution that can also be retrofitted to accommodate future bioreactor or recirculation technology by incorporating Unitary Lateral Drainage Medium (ULDM) in leachate collection and leak detection layer.

  1. Design calculators for: lateral drainage design, see-page instability, geotextile filtration, geomembrane protection, geomembrane anchor trench, geomembrane/GCL composite liner leakage, HELP model analysis, landfill gas, landfill liner systems settlement, etc.

  1. Provide value-engineering solutions of substituting earthen materials with geosynthetic materials. 

Interact:

Online forums that allow engineers to interact with the foremost leaders in the field as well as peers.

Provide e-seminars for engineers, regulators, owners, and contractors seeking to increase efficiency and effectiveness during the design, material selection, economic evaluation, and materials management stages of a project.

Material Select:

Offers best practice material selection methods that match project specific performance-based criteria with suitable engineered materials provided in CSI Specification Format.
