Join the Engineer's Joint Committee of Long Island and The Renewable Energy Center at Farmingdale State College on April 21st from 6:30-7:30 PM AND/OR 7:30-8:30 PM. Join in on 1 OR 2 presentations that can each provide (1) NY State approved PDH.
AeroAggregates material is made from 100% curbside recycled glass and has been used in Europe for over 30 years. NYSDOT approved it as ultra-lightweight fill and it is being used by engineering firms, municipalities and DOTs throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
Key applications include:
- Construction over soft compressible soils
- Increasing elevation due to storm surge flood elevation/resiliency planning
- Increasing fill over existing utilities
- Insulating fill to prevent frost heave
- Reduce or eliminate ground improvements such as piles
- Insulating fill for concrete underslabs
- Lightweight fill for Greenroofs

Green News of the Week
Huge potential for ‘low-impact’ solar on Long Island, N.Y., roadmap says
|
|
|
|
The Long Island Solar Roadmap, a new report and interactive online map from The Nature Conservancy and Defenders of Wildlife, outlines how Long Island, New York, could produce more electricity than the region uses all year by developing solar arrays on “low-impact” sites such as parking lots, capped landfills, and commercial building rooftops.
The conservation groups said the roadmap found that these solar installations can be deployed without negatively affecting the region’s natural areas, forests, or farmlands.
