In September 2022, Micron announced its ambitious plan to expand its Boise Idaho headquarters with a leading-edge R&D and semiconductor “fab” or manufacturing facility. This monumental $15B project constitutes the largest single investment in the state of Idaho with $6B in federal funding from the CHIPS and Science Act for this site and another “megafab” site in Clay, New York.

To mitigate sediment tracking and support EGLE compliance, PADNOS replaced its conventional aggregate-based trackout pad with the FODS Trackout Control System, marking a shift toward more sustainable and performance-driven infrastructure.

Historically, FOD management at MCAS Yuma relied on labor-intensive manual inspections—a time-consuming process that, while effective, left room for improvement. In May 2024, the air station introduced a new solution: FODS Trackout Control Mats. The results not only exceeded expectations but also redefined FOD management at one of the U.S. Marine Corps’ most critical installations.

The University of Kansas (KU), located in Lawrence, Kansas, which is just 40-miles west of Kansas City, Kansas and home to nearly 30,000 undergraduates and graduate students is undertaking a major $448 million renovation of the iconic David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. Led by Athletic Director Travis Goff, this transformative project aims to modernize not only the stadium but is part of the larger “Gateway District” project which will provide a mixed-use conference center, and high-rise hotel accommodations, along with infrastructure improvements to significantly enhance the student, fan, and support experience.

In the heart of downtown Calgary, Alberta, a transformative infrastructure project is reshaping the city's urban core: the Calgary Event Centre. This $900 million undertaking marks a significant milestone in the revitalization of Calgary's entertainment and cultural district. At the centerpiece of the development is Scotia Place—a state-of-the-art arena that will serve as the future home of the Calgary Flames, replacing the iconic Saddledome. Scheduled for completion in 2027, the Event Centre is envisioned as a modern venue supporting sports, concerts, exhibitions, and major events, while also driving economic and social vibrancy in the region.

Miami Freedom Park is a landmark $1.3 billion, privately funded sports and entertainment complex currently under construction in Miami, Florida. Positioned as the future home of Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami CF, led by Lionel Messi. This transformative development is reshaping the city’s urban landscape and environmental legacy.  The centerpiece is a 25,000-seat stadium, but the project extends far beyond soccer. Over 131 acres, it includes a 58-acre public park—the largest new park in the city in over a century—alongside over 1 million square feet of mixed-use development including retail, restaurants, office space, a 750-room hotel, and extensive infrastructure upgrades.

Since its initial construction in 2014, Starbase has evolved from assembly and testing site into a fully operational launch complex, serving as the primary hub for SpaceX's ambitious Starship program. Early development efforts focused on site preparation, infrastructure installation, and environmental compliance.

Addressing decades of coal ash accumulation, Duke Energy launched an extensive environmental remediation project to mitigate these risks. The initiative included the excavation, transportation, and secure storage of millions of tons of coal ash across multiple power plant sites, with a focus on compliance, sustainability, and ecological restoration.

Integral to the success of this large-scale effort were FODS Trackout Control Mats. These innovative mats helped ensure operational efficiency by preventing the spread of debris and contaminants from work sites, improving compliance with environmental regulations while reducing cleanup costs.
