CUIRE pre-show specialty schools
Staples of pre-show educational activities at UCT are the special-focus sessions provided by the Center for Underground Infrastructure Research
& Education (CUIRE). The 19th Annual Trenchless Technology Certification Schools will be held at the Music City Center in Nashville, site of UCT.
This year's program, scheduled over two days, includes Advanced HDD School, Geotechnical School, Pipe School, as well as half-day Pipeline
Inspection School, and Microtunneling and Pilot Tube School.

Monday, May 17
8 a.m.-Noon:

* 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.
* 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.
* Pipe School (Part One) - This school will cover applications, capabilities,
manufacturing, standards, advantages and limitations of steel, and
rigid pipes such as clay, concrete and new developments in these pipe
materials and joining systems.

1-5 p.m.:
* Advanced Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) School (Part Two) -
The second part of this school will include construction projects
of all sizes, plus tracking, tooling and locating and case studies.
* Geotechnical School (Part Two) - Planning, geotechnical reporting,
and contracting requirements for trenchless technologies for different
ground conditions.

* Pipe School (Part Two) - This second part of this School will cover
applications, capabilities, manufacturing, standards, advantages and limitations
of flexible pipes such as ductile iron, PVC, HDPE, fiberglass, polypropylene and
new developments in these pipe materials and joining systems.

Tuesday, May 18
8 a.m.-Noon:

* 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 includes
case studies. A discussion of new ASCE Microtunneling Standards
and Manual of Practice on PTGBM will be presented by authors.
* Pipeline Inspection and Asset Management - This school will cover
pipeline inspection for gravity and pressure applications, including
water, sewer (sanitary and storm), oil and gas. Information on how
to use pipeline inspection and assessment data to renew deteriorated
pipelines will be provided.
Each half-day school qualifies for CEU and PDH credits through the University
of Texas at Arlington. For more information regarding these schools,
