Maccaferri Seal the Deal – Closing of the Sermonde Landfill
Saudi Petrochemical Company Tasnee is selling Rowad in a Deal is Valued at ~US$187M
Rowad’s portfolio includes: geomembranes, plastic films and geosynthetic materials.
Why it matters: Rowad has been a significant Middle East supplier of HDPE geomembranes.
Ownership change could affect: resin sourcing, export markets (especially Africa and Asia) and pricing in large containment projects.

JP Giroud Legacy AI Vault: A Key Geosynthetics Design Resource for Engineers
JP Giroud’s legacy AI Vault consolidates more than 400 technical documents, including his seminal 1977 geomembrane liner leakage formulation and 1982 composite liner concept, which underpin modern landfill and heap leach barrier design. The AI archive spans Terzaghi Lecture materials, ASCE Geo-Institute Hero content, and International Geosynthetics Society presidential work from 1986–1990, plus design charts, case histories and conference keynotes. Practitioners gain a single interactive reference point for Giroud’s methods on leakage control, stability of geosynthetic-lined slopes and geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures.
