Monday, Jan. 25, 2021
8 a.m. – Noon
- School A – Advanced Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) (Part One): Planning and design of large, mid- and small-size HDD projects from inception to closeout and delivery. The school includes talks on pipe loads, bore planning, drilling fluids and case studies.
- School B – Geotechnical (Part One): Geotechnical requirements for both trenchless and open-cut applications, soft soils and rock investigation methods, and how ground conditions will affect trenchless feasibility and productivity.
- School C – Pipe (Part One): This school will cover applications, capabilities, manufacturing, standards, advantages and limitations of steel and rigid pipes, such as clay and concrete, and new developments in these pipe materials and joining systems.
1 – 5 p.m.
- School D – Advanced Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) (Part Two): The second part of this school includes construction projects of all sizes, plus tracking, tooling and locating, and case studies.
- School E – Geotechnical (Part Two): Part Two covers planning, geotechnical reporting, and contracting requirements for trenchless technologies in different ground conditions.
- School F – Pipe (Part Two): This second part covers 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, Jan. 26, 2021
8 a.m.–Noon
- School G – Microtunneling and Pilot Tube: This school covers 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 authors.
- School H – Pipeline Inspection and Asset Management (NEW!): This school will cover pipeline inspection for gravity and pressure applications, including water, sewer (sanitary and storm), oil and gas. It will also include Information on how to use pipeline inspection and assessment data to renew deteriorated pipelines.
Each half-day school qualifies for 0.4 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and 4 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) through the University of Texas at Arlington. For more information, contact CUIRE at (817) 272-9177 or via email: cuire@uta.edu.
