CUIRE (the Center for Underground Infrastructure Research
& Education) at the University of
Texas at Arlington will hold its
16th annual Pipeline and Trenchless Technology Training and Certification Schools.
The 2018 program includes an Advanced HDD
School, Flexible Pipeline Design and Installation,
and a Geotechnical School. These schools are
designed specifically for personnel in the underground utilities construction and rehabilitation
industry, such as public officials, engineers, utility
company personnel, designers, utility owners/
operators and contractors who are involved with
constructing, renewing and managing utilities.
Course instruction will be provided by notable
industry experts. Credit is granted through the
University of Texas at Arlington. All rates are per
person/per school.

8:00 a.m. - Noon
Advanced Horizontal Directional
Drilling (HDD) School (Part One)
Planning and design of large, midMONDAY
and small-size HDD projects from
inception to closeout and delivery. The school
will include talks on pipe loads, bore planning,
drilling fluids and case studies.
JANUARY

Geotechnical School (Part One)
Geotechnical requirements for both trenchless and open-cut applications, soft soils and
rock investigation methods, and how ground
conditions will impact trenchless feasibility and
productivity.
