SUMMARY:Evacuation Routes
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom A \nSpeakers:  Trygve Hoff\, P.E.\, ENV SP – American Concrete Pipe Association \nPresentation Description: \n\nAsset Management provides agency/owners both a long-term roadmap toward better supervision of asset inventories\, as well as data necessary for logical material placement and usage. This information allows agencies to make sound engineering decisions backed by years of data\, which in turn improves resilience of the infrastructure system and maximizes sustainability. \nIn this session we will discuss the current issues and actions that impact such decisions in critical locations such as evacuation routes\, flood prone areas\, emergency access routes\, and others. We will explore how asset management data can be used to help prepare for recovery from major natural disasters\, and to determine the most appropriate mitigation planning. \nSpeaker Bio: \nTrygve Hoff\, P.E.\, ENV SP\, is the Northeast Region Engineer for the American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA). Tryg graduated with a BS in Civil Engineering from The Ohio State University and his professional experience ranges from environmental consulting in Columbus\, Ohio\, to architectural engineering in beautiful Lake Tahoe\, California.
