Punta Cana's airport is the leading point of entry in number of arriving passengers in the Dominican Republic. It is also the fastest growing airport with almost a 20% increase in traffic yearly, which indicates that in less than 5 years the aircraft movements will double.
The airport handled more than 1 million visitors in 2002, making it the busiest airport in the Dominican Republic. In 2007, Punta Cana received more than 3 million passengers. The Punta Cana's Airport operators have planned an ambitious airport expansion project. The project consists of a new larger runway, expansion of the existing taxiway, construction of a new taxiway, a new control tower, the installation of the ILS, new frequencies of radio and the expansion of the International Terminal. The columns of the main lobby will have a diameter of 80 cm and are 5 meters high.Geoplast GEOTUB 80 cm round column plastic formwork was chosen for the job because:
- the low weight of the equipment make it possible to use it by hand, without crane, and with a double speed vs. steel;- Geotub has a lower initial cost than traditional formwork;- The running costs are much lower as a consequence of the higher speed of work, the lower maintainance and logistic time and equipment required.

The M50 motorway consists of two-lane dual carriageway, though auxiliary/weaving lanes are provided at several junctions. Plans are in progress under the National Development Plan to upgrade several of the roundabout junctions, including the Red Cow, to free-flowing grade-separated interchanges. The upgrade project also includes widening the surrounding motorway to three or four lanes each direction from the M1 to Sandyford with the extra driving lanes replacing the existing wide grass-covered median.
This is a major project that is bringing a certain degree of disruption to the trafic flow on the M50: as the road is extremely important for the daily commuting of the Irish capital, it is important that the level of disruption is keptminimal.
The new bridges are each carried by 12 round columns of dia 600 mm.
Geotub 60 column formwork was chosen as it avoided the use of cranes,which would have forced the temporary closure of traffic lanes during installation and / or operation.

The Irish National Development Plan (2000 - 2006) includes proposals to upgrade the N7 between Portlaoise and Limerick, and the N8 between Portlaoise and Cork to high quality dual carriageway /
motorway standard.
The next sections of the existing N7 route due to be bypassed and replaced by motorway is a section of route south of Portlaoise (a joint route project with the M8 diverging half-way along is planned), traversing the Great Heath of Maryborough.
Portloise, Ireland – M7 motorway extension
The total length of the motorway extension is in excess of 120 km, and there are currently 45 new bridges planned.
Among the bridge designs is one that uses dia 900 mm support pillars, and Geotub 90 was chosen for its great simplicity of use, the reduced amount of personell required to form and strip, and the elimination of the use of cranes and heavy equipment in remote countryside locations with soft soil conditions.
