PARTNER PROGRAMS PROVIDE SPECIALIZED TRAINING
Industry partners host specialty training courses before the main UCT program begins, at the Fort Worth Convention Center.
To register, contact each of the partners listed below. We encourage you to register early, as seating is limited. Take advantage of
the educational opportunities that UCT has to offer. BONUS - industry partner program registration includes discounted rates to
the full UCT conference (education, exhibits and the networking reception). Take a look at the additional course offerings brought
to you by the leader in underground construction education - UCT!
The Center for Underground
Infrastructure Research & Education
(CUIRE), at the University of Texas
at Arlington, will hold its 18th Annual
Pipeline and Trenchless Technology
Training and Certification Schools in
conjunction with UCT. This year's
program includes Advanced HDD School,
Geotechnical School and Pipe School, as well as half-day Pipe
Lining and Renewal, and Microtunneling and Pilot Tube schools.
Each half-day school qualifies for 0.4 CEU and 4 PDHs through
the University of Texas at Arlington. For more information on
these sessions and to register, contact CUIRE at (817) 272-9177
or email: cuire@uta.edu.

8:00 AM-Noon

* School G - Pipe Lining and Renewal School: This school will cover
pipe lining methods including cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), slip lining,
modified slip lining (panel lining), close-fit, spray-in-place pipe (SIPP)
and other methods. This school will also cover planning, design,
construction, inspection and QA/QC.
* School H - Microtunneling and Pilot Tube School: This school will
cover planning, design and construction of microtunneling methods (MT),
and pilot tube and other guided boring methods (PTGBM), and will include
case studies. A discussion of new ASCE Microtunneling Standards and
Manual of Practice on PTGBM will be presented by the authors.

Reminder: contact CUIRE to register at (817) 272-9177 or cuire@uta.edu.

8:00 AM-Noon

* School A - Advanced Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) School
(Part One): Planning and design of large, mid- 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.
* School B - Geotechnical School (Part One): Geotechnical requirements
for both trenchless and open-cut applications, soft soils and rock
investigations methods, and how ground conditions will affect trenchless
feasibility and productivity.
* School C - Pipe School (Part One): This school will cover applications,
capabilities, manufacturing, standards, advantages and limitations of steel,
ductile iron, vitrified clay, concrete and new developments in these pipe
materials and joining systems.

1:00-5:00 PM
* School D - Advanced Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) School
(Part Two): The second part of this school will include construction
projects of all sizes, plus tracking, locating and case studies.
* School E - Geotechnical School (Part Two): Planning, geotechnical
reporting, and contracting requirements for trenchless technologies for
different ground conditions.
* School F - Pipe School (Part Two): The second part of this School will
cover applications, capabilities, manufacturing, standards, advantages and
limitations of PVC, HDPE, fiberglass, and new developments in these pipe
materials and joining systems.
