Injection Systems for Waterproofing and Stabilization of Rock and Soil

Unexpected water ingress during tunneling can escalate project costs and cause significant delays in the overall project timelines. To counteract the risks involved with such challenging ground conditions, the Underground Construction Group (UGC) of BASF's Construction Chemicals division offers expert advice and products across a broad range of injection systems designed to address a wide variety of tunneling situations. The choice of injection system is dependent on such factors as water quantity and pressure, rock and soil permeability and cohesiveness, construction sequence, and final water-tightness requirements of the completed structure. Both pre- and post-excavation grouting have found increasing acceptance within the underground tunneling industry and both methods have also shown that their proper applications will lead to an increase in tunneling efficiency and safety. BASF has experience in the proper design and execution of many injection programs and this webinar will cover such topics as:

Introduction and overview of standards in pre- and post-excavation grouting
Reasons for grouting in tunneling
Functional requirements
Types of injection materials
Cement injection
Chemical injection
Grouting in high-pressure water conditions
Overview of grouting equipment and requirements
Case studies
BASF products overview

Please join us for this informative and interactive web seminar. You will be able to ask questions throughout the event via instant messaging.

Apr 2, 2008 2:00 PM (Eastern) 1:00 PM (Central), 12:00 PM (Mountain), 11:00 AM (Pacific)	Leak Detection and Condition Assessment of Large Diameter Pipelines. Utilities are under increased pressure to maintain their buried assets. Large diameter water and wastewater mains are a critical component of the pipeline infrastructure. Given the consequence of failure of large diameter pipelines, it is prudent for a utility to consider a condition assessment program to prioritize rehabilitation and maintenance requirements for these critical pipelines. This webinar will discuss leak detection and condition assessment technologies that have been successfully used for large diameter water and wastewater pressure pipelines. View archived webinar

Oct 25, 2007 2:00 PM (Eastern) 1:00 PM (Central), 12:00 PM (Mountain), 11:00 AM (Pacific)	Preventing Pipeline Backups by Eliminating Roots, Fats, Oils and Grease According to the Environmental Protection Agency, “pipeline root intrusion is the single most destructive element involved in maintaining a wastewater collection system.” Root intrusion, along with a build up of fats, oils and grease—collectively known as FOG—are the leading causes of wastewater system backups. This Webinar will show the different preventive maintenance treatments municipal wastewater crews can use to get rid of intruding roots, break down FOG, and prevent future blockages. About the Presenter: Adam Meisner is a Senior Account Executive for RootX Root Control Corp. and helped author the state of Virginia's handbook for licensing root control herbicides. He has five years of experience helping municipalities and plumbing contractors eliminate roots, fats, oils and grease from wastewater collection systems. He is a graduate of Western Oregon University. View archived webinar
Oct 23, 2007 2:00 PM (Eastern) 1:00 PM (Central), 12:00 PM (Mountain), 11:00 AM (Pacific)	Condition Assessment of Pipelines Help Owners make Good Decisions Given the age of many large diameter transmission water and wastewater mains, many municipalities are faced with the potential of major financial costs and disruptions to the overall system due to the failure of these transmission pipelines. Condition assessment of these pipelines applied to an effective asset management program enables the owners and operators to anticipate and selectively minimize these financial and service supply burdens while extending the life of these critical assets through engineered rehabilitation and maintenance. About the Presenter: Dr. Brian Mergelas is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Pressure Pipe Inspection Company. He has published more than 50 papers and reports on non-destructive testing including the 2000 AWWARF sponsored book “Electromagnetic Testing of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe.” View archived webinar

Jun 19, 2007 2:00 PM (Eastern) 1:00 PM (Central), 12:00 PM (Mountain), 11:00 AM (Pacific)	Reduce water loss and increase water quality and flow capacity to your drinking water system. Insituform Blue, a division of Insituform Technologies, Inc., is revolutionizing the drinking water market with trenchless technologies for renewing distribution and transmission mains. Learn how Insituform Blue can help you reduce water loss, increase water quality and flow capacity and restore structural integrity to your drinking water system. You can also learn about iTAP™, an innovative breakthrough that is helping speed the acceptance of trenchless technologies in the drinking water market. iTAP is a robotic method of reinstating service connections from inside the main, allowing users to save time while reducing the added expense and disruptions of digging. Conventional methods require holes to be excavated at each service connection when water distribution mainlines are restored. iTAP™ streamlines this process and provides a non-disruptive solution for pressure pipes when using Insituform Blue’s Thermopipe™, PolyFlex™ or PolyFold™ lining systems.

Mar 28, 2007 2:00 PM (Eastern) 1:00 PM (Central), 12:00 PM (Mountain), 11:00 AM (Pacific)	The Engineers role in Driving down the Cost of Lateral Lining The Webinar, sets out to describe the relatively numerous ways of carrying out Lateral Lining from all around the world and how contractors pricing strategies on each method is affected by the type of Engineers Bid Line items, Specifications and Type of contract. It is our hope that Engineers and Municipalities attending the webinar will have a better understanding of the “financial model” driving most Lateral Lining contractors. This should put them in a better position to bring out contracts that allows contractors to truly submit their most competitive price, which ultimately should mean municipalities get the work done for much less with a faster payback period.
