Description

Taught by Matt Fogleman, P.E., ECS Southeast
Sponsored by 84 Lumber
When the rain falls and the ground gives way, understanding why can make all the difference. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, Western North Carolina saw firsthand how slopes fail, soils move, and structures are tested. In this class, geotechnical engineer Matt Fogleman, P.E. of ECS Southeast, unpacks the science behind slope stability, site assessment, and landslide risk by sharing real-world examples, data, and lessons learned from post-Helene recovery efforts.
Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of:
  • How soil composition, drainage, and design interact on steep terrain
  • Warning signs of slope instability and how to mitigate risk
  • What to look for in damaged or at-risk sites after heavy rainfall
  • Practical strategies for safer site planning and construction in our mountain region
Whether you’re a builder, designer, or inspector, this class will help you better protect your projects and the people who call them home when the next storm hits
