| Comprehensive Corrosion Protection and Rehabilitation Solutions for Pressure Pipelines
This year marks the 40th anniversary of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) and Insituform Technologies, the pioneer of this proven rehabilitation solution. Since 1971, over 35,000 miles of CIPP have been installed in pipelines around the world. Building on its experience, Insituform introduced a structural CIPP solution for pressurized pipelines two years ago. This solution, which is certified to NSF standards, has been specifically engineered for drinking water pipelines and successfully installed in drinking water pipelines across the United States.
In 2009, Insituform acquired Corrpro Companies, Inc., the largest cathodic protection provider in North America. This leading firm provides engineering, design, inspection and asset management services to protect pipelines and other structures. Corrpro also offers pipeline condition assessments.
During this webinar, you will receive information on this structural CIPP solution, the benefit of cathodic protection for water pipelines and hear how by combining the solutions provided by Insituform and Corrpro, your pipelines can be rehabilitated and protected for decades.

| Manhole Rehabilitation: Using the Appropriate Rehabilitation System
Manholes and other underground structures experience different kinds of corrosion.
Whether it’s severe ground water infiltration, high levels of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gasses, or a combination.
Add to this, budget constraints and specific life expectancy and you have to tailor the rehabilitation solution to match the combination of needs.
They all need to be addressed in their own specific way. One solution does not fit all.
The presentation will discuss, with real life examples, how each one of the different manhole rehabilitation systems can be used to meet specific needs.

| HDPE Pipe: The Sustainable Solution for Potable Water
The current generation of high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe for potable water distribution is a direct result of the continuing evolution in polymer technology. To illustrate how this progression has enhanced HDPE pipe performance, this webinar will present an overview of a comprehensive research program that developed methodologies to assist in projecting long-term service life. The study examined field performances spanning nearly the entire 50-year history of HDPE pipe in potable water systems. Exhaustive physical analysis of over 300 HDPE pipe field samples and documentation of historical field performance through interviews with over 200 water utilities has led to the development of a validated predictive model to assist engineers in their design of long-term sustainable water systems. The webinar will conclude with a presentation of the City of Palo Alto initiative to adopt HDPE in its accelerated infrastructure replacement program for all future main and service line replacements.

| Front Steer Microtunneling with Pilot Tube Technology for Gravity Sewer Installations
Pilot Tube Microtunneling, PTMT, GBM or Pilot Tube Guided Auger Boring are the various names that describe an auger boring system that is capable of a 1” or better Line and Grade accuracy for the precise installation of jacking pipes. This technology has changed the face of trenchless technology as we know it and is widely used today. However, Pilot Tube Technology can only be used in Soft Displaceable ground conditions, which dramatically limits the amount of available applications and possible jobsites where a contractor can work and make money.
Now with the new advancement and development of the Front Steer Microtunneling System from Bohrtec, contractors can achieve the same 1” line and grade accuracy but will be able to work in Hard NON-Displaceable ground conditions where the Pilot Tube system will fail. Front Steer Microtunneling has proven to be a very economical alternative to conventional slurry driven microtunneling systems with drive lengths ranging from 300-400’LF. Winner of the Trenchless World product of the year 2010.

| Case Study: Record-setting HDD Crossing of 24-in. Fusible PVCCost: FREE
Earn .1 CEU*
The 2010 Trenchless Technology Project of the Year for New Installation brought together everything that is exciting about a challenging project: teamwork, tough subsurface conditions, challenging logistics and drilling under water over a great distance that sets a new standard for pipe performance.
Join David Tanzi, P.E., BCEE, associate and senior project manager with CDM, for a 1-hour webinar session as he talks about how all of these elements successfully converged in New Jersey in spring 2010. The result is a 5,365-ft HDD project that brought customers of the Middlesex Water Co. a new 24-in. fusible PVC (FPVC) water main that was able to be installed quickly, efficiently and perhaps, more importantly, cost-effectively. Project officials also note that this project set a world-record for distance using 24-in. FPVC!

| Building a Sustainable Foundation for Infrastructure RenewalAfter years of maintenance neglect and denial at every level of responsibility, our infrastructure is collapsing and beginning to threaten the quality of life it was intended to protect. If you think this statement is harsh, consider this invitation to talk about the elephant in the room, what you and I can do about it, and the cost of accepting status quo.
It’s not pretty. The common practice of letting infrastructure wear-out before replacing it, rather than incorporating technological improvements during its lifetime, only exacerbates the problem.
Since funding is insufficient to replace, what are our options? How can these be sustainable practices?
There are subtle and overlapping differences separating repair, rehabilitate, and retrofit procedures. Each technology alternative supports unique cost/value/risk relationships. Presented as a decision support tool, low cost/high reward programs actually build equity to pay for higher cost, long-term payback projects. Both are necessary. One is mandatory. Chemical Grout Management Programs provide public and private sectors with technology and capacity to stop leaks, stabilize soils and protect infrastructure for longer lifecycles.
Speaker and Subject Matter Expert: Michael Vargo, Technical Consultant for Prime Resins, has 20 years experience teaching government and commercial enterprises how to optimize performance and extend the life of above and below ground infrastructure.

| Understanding Geothermal Opportunities and ChallengesGround source heat pumps (GSHP) — often referred to as geothermal — has become the new buzz word within the underground and trenchless industry. As with any new and emerging market there are great opportunities, but also potential challenges.
Currently the industry is experiencing a shortage of installers due to the rapid acceptance of this technology by homeowners and businesses. The opportunity for underground contractors lies in the installation of ground source heat pump loops. However, some contractors are entering the market with little or no training and experience. This can result in unsuccessful projects and stifled market growth for everyone involved.
This webinar will provide a general overview of the GSHP market, how GSHP systems works, how loops are installed and the equipment used, as well as the opportunities and challenges contractor may face.

| Gravity Sewer Installations Using HDDThe installation of gravity flow sewers using horizontal directional drilling (HDD), including those lines on critical grades of < 1%, has been a goal of the directional drilling industry and has been achieved with varying degrees of success over the past few years. HDD offers the advantages of reduced surface restoration, the ability to install product under traffic ways and structures, and reduced cost versus microtunneling.
This webinar will discuss the various methods and tooling used in the industry today to accomplish on-grade bores, and discusses practical limitations of HDD for gravity sewer work. Advantages and shortcomings of each of the methods are discussed. Advances in on-grade installations based on improvements in downhole tooling, tracking electronics, and drilling techniques are presented.
