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 northern New Jersey, the Palisades Tunnel Project is laying the groundwork for a new era of sustainable rail infrastructure beneath the Palisades.

In contrast to plywood, which deteriorates within days, or thin plastic alternatives with limited lifespans, FODS Ground Protection Mats are built for years of repeated use in demanding environments. Additionally, their reusable and recyclable design supported the park’s commitment to environmental responsibility by reducing material waste and promoting long-term sustainability.

The SAK Tunnel Project establishes a deep-bore stormwater system beneath downtown Austin, designed to capture runoff from the Colorado River. Two six-mile tunnels near US-183 were constructed using specialized tunnel boring machines, with capacity to move more than 100,000 gallons of water per minute.

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.
