Seminar at a Glance

This seminar will assist engineers, inspectors, and storm drainage professionals in the design, specification, construction, and inspection of storm pipe systems.  A resilient storm drainage system is dependent on the pipe material attributes and behavior to external impacts, proper installation, inspection of key elements, and clearly communicated specifications.  Attention is on specific interests and goals of the individuals.  

Discussion topics will include:

• Concrete pipe manufacturing facility "virtual tour."
• Your most important installation parameters.
• Soils, compaction, and embedment installation.
• Rigid concrete pipe and flexible plastic pipe systems explained.
• Trench details that clearly communicate.
• Groundwater impacts during construction and in-service.
• Soil migration and loss of support.
• Pipe-structure connections: the weakest link.
• Fire & flammability impacts on buried pipe systems: case studies.
• Evacuation routes and critical buried infrastructure.
