The visitors were able to see the air convention embankment field site as seen below. After the field tour, Dr. Xiong Zhang and the visitors had a discussion on a CESTiCC project entitled A Bio-Wicking System to Prevent Frost Heave in Alaskan Pavements. Mr. Zuo Wang and Mr. Shuangjie Wang expressed strong interest in further collaboration and communication with CESTiCC.
