Underground Construction - October 2017 - UCT6

EDUCATION

UCT Educational Tracks, Jan. 30 - Feb. 1
TRACK I (A-D) = SEWER CONSTRUCTION & REHABILITATION
In these tracks, effective construction and rehabilitation of sewers under
various conditions and diverse challenges are explored through case studies,
technology options and innovative solutions.

TRACK VI-D = HDD EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
Learn about the latest technologies and methods for meeting the increased
demands on horizontal directional drilling operations.

TRACK I-E = SEWER/WATER CONSTRUCTION & REHABILITATION
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
Learn about the latest technologies and methods for meeting the increased
demands on sewer/water system construction and rehabilitation.

TRACK VII = WORKSHOP ON MUNICIPAL GROUT
For 50 years, municipal grouting has evolved responsibly with significant advancements in the last decade. ASTM standards and operating specifications
are the new norm, yet knowledge gaps exist among those who think they
know and those with little or no experience. This course delivers a baseline,
fundamental knowledge of how and why injecting grouting stops I&I.

TRACK II = WATERWORKS CONFERENCE
Water is the new "blue crude" of the world, and efforts to effectively and
efficiently install, replace and rehabilitate underground water distribution and
transmission systems are becoming increasingly important. Addressing aging
infrastructure and the ever-growing demand for new water systems is the
focus of this special program track.

TRACK VIII = SEWER STRATEGY SEMINAR
This seminar uses the results from work in small and large municipal systems
to teach a strategy for conducting a successful sewer rehabilitation program
for SSO and I&I reduction.

TRACK III = LATERALS REHABILITATION
Presented by the Laterals Committee of NASSCO
While force main and gravity sewers usually get the headlines, lateral rehabilitation remains the single greatest challenge for virtually all communities
when trying to prevent I&I. These presentations cover a wide range of lateral
issues, from assessment to replacement.
TRACK IV = PIPE BURSTING FUNDAMENTALS: COMPARISONS,
SELECTION & DESIGN
Presented by the International Pipe Bursting Association
With the expansion and ever-increasing practicality of pipe bursting, the decision matrix for choosing this rehabilitation option, along with proper design
and issues impacting the market, are important factors to be considered.
TRACK V = NASTT FORUM: TRENCHLESS IN NEW ORLEANS
Hosted by the North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT)
Learn about trenchless advancements and attend a special forum hosted by
the North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT).
TRACK VI (A-C) = HDD OPERATIONS & PRODUCTIVITY
Interesting and informative case studies, along with creative solutions, emphasize how to effectively conduct horizontal directional drilling operations
and maximize profitability utilizing rigs of all sizes.
6

TRACK IX = PRESSURE PIPE
Presented by the Pressure Pipe Committee of NASSCO
While lining sewer and water pipes has become routine, using this technology
in pressure pipe applications is still a relatively new, yet increasingly popular
and practical, rehabilitation solution. Learn all about the design, use and
inspection of liners in pressure pipe applications.
TRACK X = MANHOLE REHABILITATION
Presented by the Manhole Committee of NASSCO
America's manholes have long since been identified as a source of I&I and
frequent headaches for city sewer systems. Modern technology offers many
cost-effective, convenient methods and techniques to expedite manhole
renewal.
TRACK XI = UNDERGROUND UTILITIES CONSTRUCTION
In today's modern construction environment, it takes a variety of methods
and technologies to manage utility infrastructure work. These applications
combine to maximize opportunities and make for effective, timely and safe
operations.
TRACK XII = ENGINEERING ETHICS
With engineers and their companies facing increasingly difficult ethical questions, make sure that your organization is prepared for the challenges that
can arise. The Code of Ethics for Engineers will be presented, as well as case
studies related to ethics, for engineers in the public and private sectors.
