Is the Economy Dictating Your Rehab Strategy?
Watch the recorded version
28 minutes playback time. Recorded at UCT 2012, Jan. 24, 2012.
Whether the source is economic problems or political issues, insufficient funding for a water/sewer department interrupts the rehabilitation efforts of a municipality’s capital improvement projects. Old pipes begin to deteriorate faster than rehabilitation efforts can repair them, increasing the volume of I/I into the sanitary sewer network. How to escape the cycle when the money isn’t there? Dr. Hani Tohme, PE, the director of water utilities for Beaumont, TX, teams up with Molly Villarreal, PE, to describe how municipalities can change their operations from a “patch and repair” mentality to a “rehabilitate and replace” strategy.

Environmentally Friendly Rehabilitation For Gravity Sanitary and Stormwater Pipelines
Watch the recorded version
Atlanta, 2009: A 500-year flood threatens the integrity of a 72-year-old arch gravity sewer pipeline. The city has no budget allotment to cover the problem. The area is highly populated, residential and high-traffic, and a bypass will break the budget altogether. What to do?
On August 25, Sekisui SPR’s Jonathan Vaccaro tells the story of a high-stakes project with applications affecting cities, contractors, engineers and anyone else who works with aging or irregular gravity infrastructure on a budget or in a sensitive area. The webinar will feature discussion of the Atlanta project, overviews of how the three core technologies for spiral wound pipe rehab work, and what features might make this technology right for a particular project. There will also be a question-and-answer session following the presentation.
Sekisui SPR offers technologically advanced trenchless solutions for renewing pipe from six inches to 144 inches and larger. Its structural and non-structural processes meet several ASTM standards for circular, non-circular and box culvert applications.
Vacuum Sewer Construction Advantages for the Client, Consultant and Contractor
hosted by AIRVAC, Inc.
Watch the recorded version
For many years, gravity sewers were the only choice engineers had when considering a sewer collection system. This changed 40 years ago when the USEPA challenged the industry to develop alternative collection by providing special funding for such endeavors. One such system is vacuum sewers. This webinar will discuss the history of vacuum sewers and the extent of their use in the U.S. The theory of operation, key system components, and construction considerations unique to vacuum sewers will be discussed. Finally, advantages of vacuum sewers, for both the system owner as well as the contractor will be presented.
Presenters: Dean Ouellette and Clint Hawn of AIRVAC, Inc.
