Products & Services Showcase TECHNOLOGY: Slope Planning Software TECHNOLOGY: Web Services Platform Strata Systems, Inc. announced an upgrade to their advanced interactive computer software program designed to assist engineers with the design and analysis of geogrid-reinforced steep slopes. Earthen slopes up to 70 degrees from horizontal can be safely designed in accordance with methodologies accepted by the Federal Highway Administration and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a multitude of project applications. The program, named StrataSlope, is now available on Strata’s newly redesigned web site www.geogrid.com and is recommended for use by experienced geotechnical and civil engineers familiar with the technology of mechanically stabilized earthen structures. Circle 218 on Reader Service Card or www.SLDTonline.com/webcard Meridian Systems announced the release of Prolog® Connect, a Web Services platform extension for Prolog Manager construction project management software. The Prolog Connect solution includes the Prolog Connect Server, a Web Services platform built on a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). This advanced platform creates integrations with other software systems over the Internet, regardless of location or device type. Prolog Connect allows the exchange of Prolog data with other systems while maintaining data integrity, and adhering to business logic, security settings and the system nomenclature established by your organization. Prolog Connect improves user productivity by enabling the creation of custom Microsoft Office Business Applications (OBAs).

Circle 222 on Reader Service Card or www.SLDTonline.com/webcard LANDSCAPING: Turf-Stress Detection Glasses STORMWATER: Hydrodynamic Modeling Package TurfSpy, the newly-introduced, turf-stressdetection glasses from Underhill International, can help landscape managers “see the future” by revealing potential problems before they are visible to the naked eye. TurfSpy lenses block out the green spectrum reflected from chlorophyll in healthy vegetation. Stress conditions, such as disease, drought, pests or poor nutrition, are revealed with glowing colors (red, coral, pink) and can be detected 2-10 days before they are otherwise visible. The ANSI-approved safety glasses have a new wrap-around lens and an adjustable earpiece for comfortable wear. Help identify fusarium patch, pythium blight, yellow patch, brown patch, anthracnose and poa grass invasions for early treatment.

CULTEC models were added to the software in response to inquiries from engineers, consulting firms, and municipalities who use the company’s chambers to solve their stormwater management and septic leachfield needs. StormNET is a hydrodynamic modeling package that helps analyze and design urban stormwater, wastewater, and combined sewer systems. It can handle a variety of complex flow situations such as looped networks, interconnected ponds, and pumps. In addition, StormNET can model all aspects of stormwater quality/quantity and incorporates best management practices (BMP), such as CULTEC systems.
