Pre-Conference Events
Workshops
The forum and workshops include a continental breakfast, an AM networking break and handouts.
Saturday, August 28
Pre-Stressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe Forum
8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
The forum will discuss design, fabrication, installation, operations, maintenance, and management of PCCP including the inspection, condition, assessment, repair, rehabilitation, and monitoring. Presenters will include owners, manufacturers and contractors.
Registration Fee: $25
PDH: 4.0
Sunday, August 29
Buried Flexible Steel Pipe: Design and Structural Analysis (MOP 119)
8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
This workshop on the new MOP will be split into three sections. The first section will be highlighting how to use the MOP as an analysis tool. There are often questions regarding over deflection of flexible steel pipe during the construction of a pipeline and the attendees will learn how to analyze the soils via measurable soil data and how this data interacts with the pipe through soil-pipe interaction. Hear from Dr. Reynold Watkins, the internationally known expert on soils and flexible pipe analysis as he leads this section.
The second section on the program will be how to utilize the MOP as a design guide. Learn how to design around high water tables, poor soils, etc. by experienced industry design experts from the manufacturing and consulting arenas.
The third section of the workshop will show comparisons between designing by utilizing the new MOP and the often utilized AWWA M11 manual for Steel Pipe. Learn the similarities of these two excellent reference guides as well as the differences and limitations between them. Once again, Dr. Watkins and other industry experts will share their knowledge of these two manuals.
Registration Fee: EB/ADV $100; ONS $200
PDH: 4.0
8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
This workshop will emphasize a Contractor’s perspective on some of the most important issues with respect to pipeline projects. Topics include right of way, utility locations, geotechnical issues including baseline reports and alternative trench zone materials, permitting and contract issues including risk allocation and the bidding process. Format will include discussion started by the Contractor with follow up by Engineer and Owner perspectives. Experiences and lessons learned will be shared by each perspective. The work shop attendees will be encouraged to participate in the discussions and share their perspectives with the goal of understanding all sides of a pipeline project.
Round Table:
- Contractor Perspective:
- Jim Stutler, Vice President, Reynolds-Tierdael, 2006 President National Utility Contractors Association
- Engineer Perspective:
- John Plattsmier, Pump Station and Pipeline National Director, HDR Engineering, Inc.
- Jim Anspach - Chairman CI/ASCE 38-02 Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data
- Randy Essex - Chairman Technical Committee on Geotechnical Reports of the Underground Technology Research Council
- Owner Perspective:
- John J. Galleher Jr., Operations and Maintenance Manager, San Diego County Water Authority
- Mike Kenny, Principal Construction Manager, San Diego County Water Authority
- Moderator: Tom Roode, Assistant Chief of Engineering, Denver Water

Thrust Restraint Design of Buried Pipelines
8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
This workshop will present an overview of the current design practices of thrust restraint systems for various pipe materials; their historical evolution; possible future improvements to the design practice; and present practical thrust restraining solutions for most commonly encountered design conditions. The workshop material is based on the work completed to date by the ASCE task committee on Thrust Restraint Design of Buried Pipelines; initial findings documented in a white paper scheduled to be published prior to the workshop and the subsequent work towards the development of a Manual of Practice (MOP). Speakers from the task committee will present an overview of underlying theories and assumptions for different pipe materials; identify and discuss similarities and differences in analysis approaches for different materials, bend configurations, and joint types; identify engineering parameters for the analysis of the pipe-soil interaction behavior and provide guidance for estimation; present analysis approaches and tools; explore the possibility of a unified approach to thrust restraint design; and discuss routine and special design situations for the use of thrust blocks and restrained joints in buried pressure pipelines.
Registration Fee: EB/ADV $100; ONS $200
PDH: 4.0
Trenchless Renewal of Culverts and Storm Sewers (MOP 120)
8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
MOP 120 describes culvert and storm sewer renewal technologies used by engineers and transportation professionals in renewing culverts and drainage structures under roads, railroads, runways, streets and similar structures. In MOP 120, culverts and storm sewers are defined as having a diameter or equivalent diameter range of 12 in. to 144 in. with at least one open end. Although the manual covers topics such as safety, cleaning and inspection, evaluation and condition assessment, life cycle costs and the description of trenchless renewal methods, this workshop will concentrate on understanding the trenchless methods. Experts representing eight different product/process classifications will discuss product background, product main characteristics with technical envelope, installation methods, QA/QC and asset management requirements. Although this workshop will be useful for any attendee wishing to gain a better understanding of trenchless renewal methods, it will be especially educational for those who already have a good understanding of trenchless renewal methods for sanitary sewers but wish to learn the product and process differences when working with culverts and storm sewers.
