FCPA - Webinars - Template (Postcard) (2160 × 1080 px) (20)

This event will emphasize proper installation of storm pipes, the "why" behind installation standards, proper use of soil moisture and density testing equipment, and pipe inspection pre- and post-installation.  This workshop will assist engineers, inspectors, contractors and storm drainage professionals in the specification, construction, and inspection of storm pipe systems.   Attention will also be given to any specific interests and goals of the individuals.  

* Event will feature soil moisture and density testing discussion on best practices and pitfalls using sand cone and nuclear density gauge tests.  Our guest will be Billy Billings, Jr., Training Supervisor and Project Manager with UES.

Description:  Industry experts, Marc Mattox, P.E., Town of Paradise, CA, and Dr. Ricardo Medina, P.E., SGH, discuss considerations for fire-prone areas including community preparedness and evacuation route planning. Hear key learnings from the 2018 Camp Fire and the importance of resilient infrastructure. Learn about the resiliency based ASTM design standard for culvert and storm drainpipes exposed to wildfire events.

In the recording, you will hear firsthand the findings from the 2018 Camp Fire and learn about its effects on roadway culverts. Additionally, you will gain insights on the process and workings the California Regional Quality Water Control Board in their efforts to replace 66 extensively damaged high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culverts with reinforced concrete pipes (RCP).

After attending the webinar the attendee should be able to:

  • Learn about the infrastructure failures caused by the devastation of the Camp Fire in Paradise, CA
  • Understand what key infrastructure considerations need to be taken for fire-prone areas.
  • Discover what the Town of Paradise is doing to help mitigate future disasters.

I-85 Tanker Fire

In February 2020, a tragic fuel spill impacted I-85 in Atlanta.  In addition to the fatality, the combustion of spilled fuel threatened the roadway infrastructure.  Watch the news story below.  Fortunately, the concrete pipe system was resilient to the fire, as confirmed through CCTV inspection.
