Railway Age Redesigns Its Site - But No Geosynthetics!?
02/03/2012
Industry site Railway Age has redesigned its online information hub. The site now has installed 12 navigation categories (e.g., Mechanical, Regulatory), a breaking news ticker, five years of archives in the searchable databaes, and other features. HOWEVER: a search of the site (3 February 2012) finds ZERO results for geogrid, geotextile, geosynthetics, and other applicable searches. Yet: railway modernization, such as high-speed rail construction, increasingly utilizes geosynthetic reinforcement, separation and soil stability technologies.   ID: 6854
