Geotechnical industry professionals are no doubt familiar with the awesome illustrations showing all manner of geotechnical construction methods and applications that are a unique part of Hayward Baker advertising and marketing. Without any fanfare, the iconic Hayward Baker calendar that features this artwork has celebrated a milestone of 20 years in 2016. It’s so hard to explain to non-engineers what it is that geotechnical engineers do, all of our cool work is buried out of sight! This calendar is one of the best tools to show our expertise, it’s a great service to our industry. On a personal note, I keep one hanging on my office door, and my 10-year old daughter even has one hanging on her wall, she says she wants to be an engineer when she grows up! Thanks Hayward Baker, and I look forward to another 20 years of great calendars! They have a great collection of 20 years of Hayward Baker calendar images over on their Facebook Page, check it out.

Troubled Eastern NC Riverfront Convention Center Gets Lifeline from Hayward Baker and TerraThane™ Geotech Foam by NCFI Polyurethanes
MOUNT AIRY, NC—The 12-year-old riverfront Convention Center in New Bern, NC was in trouble. The building’s exterior is supported by pilings driven deep in the ground, but the floors sit directly on the earth and silt of the old riverbed. The land was in-filled by old docks and building debris in the 1970s and settling, erosion, and construction mistakes were taking their toll on the building.
Parts of the floor and patio sunk up to seven inches, cracks and uneven joints in the concrete slab floors were causing walking/tripping hazards, and gaps beneath walls were allowing sound to pass between what were designed as soundproof rooms.
