The upcoming Geosynthetics Middle East 2011 event promises to attract a wide array of industry leading attendees. This will be the 4th Geosynthetics Middle East event and will be held in Abu Dhabi City in the United Arab Emirates from 25-26 October. The previous event in 2010 attracted 300 delegates from 25 countries and this new conference already looks set to build on that success. International geotechnical and environmental specialists will exchange knowledge and experience on geosynthetics used in roads, bridges and other infrastructure. In association with the conference there will be a technical exhibition with leading players in fields including geosynthetics, geotextiles, geomembranes, waterproofing membranes, geocomposites, water management, erosion controls and geofoam.

    A variety of systems are available for quickly and efficiently removing water from roads as Patrick Smith reports The presence of water in a highway layer reduces the bearing capacity of the road, and in doing so it also reduces the structure's lifetime. Indeed, the recent extremely cold winter in many parts of Europe has shown that in colder climates there is a risk of frost damage when water is present resulting in costly potholes, so drainage systems performing properly are important in road design.
