Monday, July 12
8 a.m.-5 p.m. | Cost: $400
Pipeline Assessment & Certifi cation
Program (PACP) Recertifi cation Course
The goal of PACP, the North American Standard for
pipeline defect identifi cation and assessment, is to
have pipeline system owners create a comprehensive,
consistent database to properly identify, plan, prioritize, manage, and
renovate their pipelines, based on condition evaluation.
This course will recertify your current PACP certifi cation. The class
includes one day of training and the latest version of the manual.
The cost to attend is $400. Registration is subject to approval.
For details and to register, email rodthorn@swbell.net.
Th e Center for Underground
Infrastructure Research & Education
(CUIRE), at the University of Texas
at Arlington, will hold its 19th Annual
Pipeline and Trenchless Technology
Training and Certifi cation Schools, in conjunction
with UCT. For details and to register, contact CUIRE
at (817) 272-9177 or email: cuire@uta.edu..
Monday, July 12
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. Topics include pipe loads,
bore planning, drilling fl uids 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 aff ect trenchless feasibility and productivity.
Pipe School (Part One): Applications, capabilities, manufacturing, standards,
advantages and limitations of steel, and rigid pipes, such as clay and concrete,
and new developments in these materials and joining systems.
1-5 p.m.
Advanced Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) School (Part Two):
Includes 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 under diff erent
ground conditions.
Pipe School (Part Two): Covers the same topics as Part One, but for fl exible
pipes, such as ductile iron, PVC, HDPE, fi berglass and polypropylene.

" Think Like Water,
Act Like Essential " is the
theme for the I&I elimiNATION
workshop. During this half-day
event, industry experts will
guide you through the root
causes of infi ltration and infl ow
into sewer systems and share
practical solutions for mitigating I&I. Presentations from multiple
perspectives will qualify and quantify the I&I problem and justify or
nullify corrective measures, with a keen eye on sustainability.
Credit is available and a networking mixer immediately follows.
The cost is only $25. Visit UCTonline.com for details and to register.
Tuesday, July 13
8 a.m.-Noon
Microtunneling and Pilot Tube School: Planning, design
and construction of microtunneling methods (MT), and
pilot tube and other guided boring methods (PTGBM).
Also includes case studies and authors' discussion of new
ASCE Microtunneling Standards and Manual of Practice on PTGBM.
continued
Pipeline Inspection and Asset Management: Pipeline inspection for
gravity and pressure applications, including water, sewer (sanitary and
storm), oil and gas. Also covers pipeline inspection and assessment
data to renew deteriorated pipelines.
