Dave Cornale and Ben Stark participated in the 70th Annual Minnesota Geotechnical Conference in February 2022

The conference was for one day with presentations about new geotechnical research and projects with challenging geotechnical problems. One interesting topic that was presented on was the reconstruction at the Yaeger airport in Charleston, West Virginia after a massive slope failure. The solution consisted of a combination of sheet pile retaining walls with geofoam backfill.
