Soil has been around for a millennia; it was one of the first building materials humans had ever used. Today soil is still a major part of construction projects and soil mixtures have evolved to provide a simple solution many construction parameters. From Sand Based Structural Soils to fast draining bio-retention mixtures; soils are now used to support infrastructure, move water, grow plants and in many other advanced applications in the construction landscape. This presentation will briefly go over some of the advanced applications and what goes into the soil mixtures to make it possible.
