This is a live, repeat presentation of a webinar that was originally offered on September 7, 2016. Attendees of the previously offered presentation, RV-W090716, will not receive CEU for attending the December 6, 2016 presentation.
For most engineers and utility managers their first introduction to infrastructure "management" is an emergency call for a manhole collapse or similar catastrophic failure. In part they can be prepared for this by understanding the root causes of failure and the appropriate types of repair and replacement necessary and in part by having an appropriate plan of action in place. Preventative and remedial plans require the same level of detail and understanding to avoid recurrence and "busted" budgets. Funding, always a major issue for long-delayed but necessary infrastructure projects, can be had from operational savings derived from appropriate selection among the alternatives with a proactive approach to understanding the status and performance of the even the simplest of infrastructure units, a manhole. A manhole repair need not be Pandora's box.
Note: This is a live webinar delivered via WebEx. Session instructions will be emailed to you 24-48 hours prior to the webinar and the morning of the webinar. If you have not received your instructions for any reason please call client support the day of the event. Webinars are live and interactive and students will have the ability to directly interact with and ask questions of the presenter.
Assess the short term and long term reliability, environmental safeguards, and public safety risks for differing approaches to infrastructure management and oversight.
Reduce environmental, personal, and public health risk from improper or inappropriate infrastructure repair techniques.
Determine the root cause of specific infrastructure decay and determine a viable course of action among remediation alternatives.
Discriminate among alternative rehabilitation strategies claiming to improve safety, reduce public health or environmental risks, or reduce costs.
