PODCAST
Infrastructure Repair LIVE Podcast
Monthly live episodes on LinkedIn where Prof. Mo Ehsani and Josh Ahumada work through real repairs of piles, seawalls, slabs, culverts and pipes with FRP, and answer questions from engineers. Formerly Marine Infrastructure Live.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Real Projects, Explained by the People Who Developed the Products
Each episode is recorded live, usually on LinkedIn, then posted to YouTube and Spotify. Prof. Mo Ehsani, QuakeWrap's CEO, and Josh Ahumada walk through repair projects, design questions and new products, and take questions from the audience.
Some episodes come straight from a job site or a trade show floor: a sheet pile repair in Florida, a corroded condo in Hollywood, Florida, a column repair in Phoenix and the Dock Expo in Nashville. Others go deep on one design topic, such as shear transfer, annular space fill or single-layer pile protection.
- Marina docks, sheet piles, seawalls, piles and mooring cells
- Columns, slabs and girders in coastal and industrial settings
- Culverts and pipelines with wet layup and StifPipe®
- Interviews, live Q&A and job site walkthroughs
