We’re excited to welcome Chris Lawson for this milestone ACIGS webinar, where he will explore how geosynthetic reinforced fill technology—originally developed for terrestrial applications—has evolved to meet the challenges of marine environments.

Topic: Geosynthetic Reinforced Fills Used in Marine Engineering Applications
Presenter: Chris Lawson, Engineering Consultant (Malaysia)
📅 Date: 29 April 2026
⏰ Time: 12:00 PM AEST

🌍 What you’ll learn:
🔹 Key differences between terrestrial and marine construction
🔹 How design procedures adapt from land to water
🔹 Two major marine applications:
• Basal reinforced seawalls
• Basal reinforced capping layers
🔹 Differences in installation above vs. below water
🔹 Failure modes specific to marine reinforced fill systems
🔹 Three detailed case studies from across Asia-Pacific:

This is a fantastic opportunity for geotechnical and coastal engineering professionals to deepen their understanding of reinforced fills in challenging marine settings.
