PRESTO GEOSYSTEMS
Presto Geosystems, a leading manufacturer of soil stabilization and stormwater products, announces a new product offering, Geoterra GTO construction mats. Presto is well-known in the geosynthetics and erosion control industries for its geocells, porous pavement systems, and portable construction mats. The company has been manufacturing construction mats for over 10 years, primarily for site access and pads in oil drilling regions. Geoterra GTO meets the industry needs for a fast deployment construction mat and is ideal for temporary access roads, work platforms, tracking pads, and temporary and long-term storage. That lighter weight compared to traditional heavier timber or HDPE mats equates to ease of handling, deployment and installation, as well as safety. The mats can be installed and moved onsite by hand without special or heavy handling equipment. The connection of Geoterra GTO mats with large poly bolts makes them fast to mobilize and demobilize and configure to a site’s layout. www.prestogeo.com
PINE HALL BRICK
St. John’s Home in Rochester, NY, is a long-term community for the elderly. To avoid runoff, the home used StormPave permeable clay pavers in the newly constructed courtyard. Stormwater can remain under the pavers as it slowly dissipates back into the soil. Water can also be used to irrigate the rain gardens in and around the courtyard. www.pinehallbrick.com
J.W. FAIRCLOTH & SON INC.
Faircloth Skimmer surface drains float on the surface of the sediment basin as it fills and drains, releasing the cleanest water near the surface instead of draining muddy water from the bottom, as conventional outlets do. It drains the basin slowly over several days at a constant rate to maximize settling. The adjustable orifice regulates the filling and drawdown of the basin and improves efficiency. www.fairclothskimmer.com
