Going Trenchless to Replace Sewer Line under
Fairgrounds, Water Park
Speaker: Erin Mills, Freese and Nichols Inc.
6
Four trenchless methods creatively and
successfully resolved capacity and condition
issues, and overcame signifi cant challenges
posed by urban development, sensitive and
problematic crossings, and deep installation.
TRACK I-B=NASSCO SEWER
OPERATIONS
8:30-9:55
Remaining Useful Life: Gravity Pipe Assets
Discussion of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of
gravity pipe assets includes why gravity pipes fail,
condition assessment, extending RUL, managing
risk, recommendations to prioritize assets for
inspection and renewal, and RUL's current
relationship to NASSCO's PACP.
10:00-10:55
Lateral Ownership: Pros and Cons
Presents benefi ts and challenges of lateral
ownership, related to maintaining infrastructure
integrity, including the role of laterals,
responsibilities of residential and system owners,
social implications, and economic benefi ts,
identifying defects, renewal methods, and
regulatory compliance and funding.
11:00-11:55
Artifi cial Intelligence: NASSCO Guidelines
Explains Automated Defect Recognition (ADR),
machine learning and other advanced automated
analytical techniques, and how they are currently
used to identify and assess sewer conditions.
TRACK II=WATERWORKS
9:00-9:25
Open-Cut, Tunneling, Ground Condition in
Construction Risk Assessment of Houston 108 "
Waterline
Speaker: John Kuo and Rafael Ortega, Aurora
Technical Services
Lessons learned by using the Construction Risk
Assessment approach to fi nalize design options,
further evaluate ground conditions encountered
during construction, and the contractor's means
and methods for bidding and completion.
9:30-9:55
Going Far With CMAR: Diving into Raw Water
Pipeline Design, Construction for NTMWD
Speaker: Daniel Roberts, CP&Y Inc.; Andrew
Beck, Garney Construction
Details about applying the Construction Manager
at Risk (CMAR) approach to a large-scale, North
Texas Municipal Water District project, from the
viewpoint of design engineer, contractor and
client.
10:00-10:25
Overcoming Adversity on Critical Water Main
CIPP Project to Achieve Success
Speakers: Steve Sodalti and Andrew Costa,
Aegion
Learn what happens when a trenchless
rehabilitation project encounters the unexpected,
and the tools and mindset that kept the team
moving forward to deliver a successful outcome.
10:30-10:55
Urban Construction of Large-Diameter Water
Lines
Speakers: Corey Garnett, Harper Brothers
Construction; Mark Brand, Fibrwrap Services
Challenges and considerations in the innovative
use of existing technologies to make nondisruptive
repairs and to build a 72-inch water
line, most notably, a nearly 800-linear-foot long,
75-foot-deep tunnel, in a major urban area.
11:00-11:25
Pipeline Construction Inspection Guidelines
Speaker: Greg Scoby, Crossbore Consultants
Overview of " Guidelines for HDPE Pipeline
Inspection, " an enhanced inspection
methodology for improving quality control of
equipment, materials and installer qualifi cation
verifi cation, resulting in less installation errors
becoming premature system failures.
11:30-11:55
Non-Disruptive, Close-Fit Pressure Pipe Rehab
System is Best-Fit Solution for Critical Tunnel
Project
Speakers: Steve Soladti and Andrew Costa,

Why Tunnel When you can Open-Cut? Case
Study Debunks Myth that Tunneling is Always
More Expensive
Speakers: Philip Wheat, Lockwood, Andrews &
Newnam Inc.; Rocio Galindo, P.E., North Texas
Municipal Water District
This case study details constraints identifi ed
during project design, that made a seemingly
prime candidate for open-cut construction, more
cost-eff ective as a tunneling solution.
9:30-9:55
