GeoKrete® Geopolymer Restores Failing Corrugated Storm Culverts Damaged by Hurricane Harvey

Hurricane Harvey is one of the worst natural disasters in the history of the United States. The Category 4 storm pummeled Houston, Texas with winds exceeding 130 mph, dumped more than 50 inches of rain, produced 57 tornadoes, and flooded over 300,000 structures, causing $120 billion in damage.
