They Let Him Have a Microphone Again!!

Our own, Kevin Good, made the trek to Sioux Falls for the 40th Annual Local Road Conference and managed to talk about innovative infrastructure without putting anyone to sleep. (Okay… maybe one guy)

Appreciate everyone who laughed at his bad construction jokes he shared Concrete Canvas, FastPatch, and Rock Bags - three field tested tools that make maintenance faster, cost-effective, and built for real world crews.

Thanks to The Willamette Valley Company, Concrete Canvas USA, and Filter Unit Rock Bags for supporting innovation in local roads.

Some regions plan for “100 year” rain events. Around here, it’s called Tuesday. We are designing for the inevitable - not the ideal.

Had the opportunity to present “𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀” at the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Quad Cities Conference. Big thanks to SAME, Rock Island Post, Anthony Heddlesten, P.E., CFM, CEMO, Sara Somsky, and Morgan Mays (team I worked directly with) for putting on a great event. Real progress - one project, one storm, one lesson learned.

We covered how Midwest teams are strengthening infrastructure:
• Flexamat – Armoring interstates for “controlled overtopping” on DOT projects.
• Filter Unit Rock Bags – Rapid bridge scour and levee repair, even helicopter deployment.
• Solmax Scourlok – Using on-site rock and soil for natural riverbank stabilization.
• Concrete Canvas USA – Culvert and channel rehab and remediation at 1/4th cost of full replacement.

At Coleman Moore, we’ve all been there. The difference? We’ve got people who can help… AND they’ve got people who can help.

Need someone who actually reads the soils report - or your jobsite just sank a bulldozer? We know who to call before it hits the fan.

We shut down the fast lane around 8:30 p.m. with a rolling closure for bridge deck spall repairs using FastPatch DPR. Roughly 45 minutes after the first pour, we switched lanes and semis were already driving over the permanent repair.

FastPatch isn’t just fast - it’s safer. Less crew exposure on the interstate means lower risk, and when the repair lasts, you only pay to fix it once.

Big thanks to the Iowa DOT Newton Shop for having me out and showing how a well-coordinated team keeps one of the busiest roads in the Midwest moving safely.

One day. One crew. One road saved.

South of Des Moines, Evolution Contracting lined a rusted-out culvert with Concrete Canvas - no road closure, no detours, no disruption.

Soccer practice, Friday night football, and Casey’s pizza runs... all on schedule. Hats off to Matt Wormley and his team.

Here's to you Iowa.... Big thanks to the Iowa Streets and Roads Conference for having our own, Kevin Good, swap stories about erosion control wins across the Midwest.

Concrete Canvas saving culverts and canals
Filter Unit Rock Bags tackling pier scour and emergency repairs
Flexamat holding the line on outlets and controlled overtoppings

But let’s be real - the real heroes weren’t the slides or products. It was the county and DOT crews in the room who fix problems the right way, often with limited time, tight budgets, and plenty of mud on their boots.

Best part? Shining a spotlight on local counties and watching them share feedback and ideas with their peers. That’s how solutions spread—county to county, road by road.

Longer Pavement Life & Faster Install: Tensar InterAx Geogrid - Before → After Grundy County, Iowa

One layer of Tensar InterAx® NX650 geogrid under asphalt saved roughly 12" of aggregate = smarter pavement section, less material, longer life.

Quick wins:
• Fewer inches of aggregate → material & labor savings
• Faster installation
• Extended pavement

Shoot me a message to help review your pavement section. Let's design smarter together.

What do geogrids actually do on a muddy jobsite?
🧩 Lock aggregate together so your base acts like a stronger, stiffer layer
🚚 Reduce rock and truckloads to reach target thickness
⏱️ Help crews recover faster after rain
🛣️ Resist ruts and deformation for smoother construction

Where they shine: 🚧 roads & streets • 🅿️ parking lots • 🦺 crane/working platforms • 🏭 industrial yards

Pro tips:
📐 Use proper overlaps and keep the grid taut
🔒 Start with a controlled “shaping” lift, then build to thickness
📏 Consistent compaction = consistent performance

🌧 When the rain won’t quit, construction can grind to a halt.
⏳ Waiting for soil to dry = lost days, blown budgets, frustrated stakeholders.
💰 Delays cost far more than most realize — idle crews, rescheduled deliveries, missed deadlines.

🛠 The right reinforcement keeps you building when others are stuck waiting.
📈 Higher-performing grids pay for themselves the first time the clouds roll in.

🚀 Don’t let rain rule your schedule — keep your project on track.

Extreme storm events call for the heavy artillery. 2-ton and 4-ton rock bags airlifted by Chinook helicopters and placed to protect what matters most: levees, bridges, and other vulnerable infrastructure.

Ty Garmon, LEED AP and I sat down on the Digital Stormwater | B2B Visibility & Digital Marketing to share ideas how Filter Unit Rock Bags are used for emergency defense.

Spoiler alert... there are a lot of pictures and videos in this full episode! You may want to watch on YouTube - https://lnkd.in/gm9zB23m

From coastal storm surges or Midwest flash flooding, filter unit rock bags are a fast, flexible, and proven response for long-term protection.
