SUMMARY:Case Studies
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Frisco 3\, 4\, & 5 \nSpeaker:  James Ensign\, PE\, CFM (Bergmann) | Jim Washabaugh (Northern Concrete Pipe) \nPresentation Description \nEnclosed in 1926\, Allen Creek now sees frequent stormwater events exceeding its capacity which leads to severe flooding in Ann Arbor. In addition\, overland flows are impeded by the railroad berm which parallels the Huron River; exacerbating the local flooding problem. The same railroad berm also serves as a barrier to the trail system which also parallels the river. This project addressed both of these issues by constructing a berm openings within a very short-term track outage. \nLike many communities\, Ann Arbor started as a mostly rural area with some industrial development mixed with natural areas. Allen Creek was enclosed in 1926\, and as development around the City continued at a rapid pace\, stormwater flows quickly reached capacity within the constructed enclosure. Extensions and upgrades have been made over the years\, but it remains vastly undersized during larger flow events. \nThe Allen Creek enclosure outlets to the Huron River and when the enclosure reaches capacity\, local street sewer systems are not only unable to empty into Allen Creek\, but are actually surcharged from the Allen Creek flows. Overland flow in this area cannot directly reach the Huron River due to an existing railroad berm between the developed area and the river. This creates a costly and dangerous localized flooding issue for area businesses and residents. Flooding depths can reach as much as 10-feet in this highly developed area. \nIn 2015\, the City embarked on a study of how to mitigate this issue and improve drainage in the area. The City also investigated a second issue involving safety – illegal railroad crossings by pedestrians and cyclists. The aforementioned railroad berm can serve as a barrier for accessing these trails. The project\, which started out as a study to mitigate flood waters\, was expanded to allow residents safe access to the trail system located along the river by evaluating alternatives for conveying pedestrians under the tracks as well. \nMDOT’s acquisition of the former Norfolk Southern railroad line in 2012 paved the way for development of a High-Speed passenger service that will ultimately connect Detroit to Chicago. The many improvements required for High-Speed service come with increased safety parameters\, especially in densely populated areas like Ann Arbor. This project is paving the way for how Michigan can safely incorporate trails within their High-Speed rail corridor. \nEstablishing the need for a pedestrian crossing and obtaining MDOT’s permission for pedestrians within the RR R/W is one thing but designing and constructing it was a whole other challenge. Bergmann investigated several options for the layout and staging to construct the new pathway on RR property…which was complicated by the requirement to maintain trains at all times\, nearby buried fiber optics\, and adjoining property land uses. Ultimately\, the design team developed staging for limiting impacts to trains and fiber optics by driving sheet piling on both sides of the tracks (between trains). This solution allowed for construction of the wall and pathway without impacting train traffic and is also used to help construct much of the opening near the proposed underpass while trains are running. While construction of the underpass itself is essentially a “cut and cover” used throughout the industry\, the unique aspect of this project is that they had to place over 30 large box culvert sections (12’x7’ and 14’x12’) in a short 1 day outage with limited access and live fiber optic cable to work around. \nSpeaker Bio\nMr. Ensign has a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Michigan State University with emphasis in structural analysis and water resources. Mr. Ensign’s experience includes maintenance and improvement projects administered under The Drain Code of 1956\, dam and lake level projects administered under parts 307 and 315 of the Michigan Environmental Protection Act\, and the design of stormwater facilities for highway projects including dam safety improvements\, hydrologic and hydraulic analyses\, determination of floodplain elevations and delineations\, lake and pond design\, storm sewer systems\, open channel drains and streams\, preparing asset management plans\, and the preparation and review of storm water management plans. He is a Professional Engineer and a Certified Floodplain Manager.

SUMMARY:Data Visualization Best Practices
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Frisco 3\, 4\, & 5 \nSpeaker:  Ashley Kizzire – Advancing Organizational Excellence (aoe) \nPresentation Description \nWhen used properly\, charts and graphs are a very effective way to communicate data. However\, simple missteps in design can muddle your data\, weaken your message and confuse your audience. Avoid common mistakes by following best practices to ensure that your message is heard – loud and clear! \nYou’ve been tasked with making a presentation on some important business figures – financial updates\, results of marketing efforts or other key data – and rather than create text-heavy slides with lists of numbers\, you know that putting the data into a graphical format will be more interesting and visually appealing to your audience. When used properly\, charts and graphs are a very effective way to communicate data. However\, simple missteps in design can muddle your data\, weaken your message and confuse your audience. Avoid common mistakes by following these best practices to ensure that your message is heard loud – and clear! \nLearning objectives for this presentation include: \n\nUnderstand the importance of background information and knowing who your audience is before developing your presentation. Having that information can drastically change the direction your presentation will take.\nUnderstand the importance of choosing the right visuals for your presentation\nUnderstand the importance of focusing your audience’s attention on your data and the best ways to accomplish this\nUnderstand the importance of designing presentations and visuals for all audience members – including those who may be colorblind. We will discuss how using some color combinations together\, such as red and green\, in the same chart or graph might be difficult for some folks to interpret. In this presentation\, we will discuss which colors are colorblind-friendly alternatives to make your presentation accessible to a wider audience.\n\nFollowing the rules of data visualization will help you create charts and graphs that are trustworthy\, unambiguous and persuasive. In turn\, they will convey your data in a much more powerful way. \nSpeaker Bio\nAs Vice President of Marketing at AOE\, Ashley helps clients plan and implement communications strategies to reach their target audiences. In addition\, Ashley is responsible for achieving AOE’s objectives related to marketing\, client referral strategy and implementation\, branding\, and team member development regarding client relations.

DESCRIPTION:Location:  Frisco 3\, 4\, & 5 \nSpeaker:  Michael Kremer – American Concrete Pipe Association \nPresentation Description \nAll too often we focus so much on the product or service that we are representing and forget to focus on ourselves. We know our product is the right one for the situation and pour countless hours scouring for advantages\, creating presentations\, and trying find ways to provide our customers the best solution. But is your product the only thing you’re selling? Beyond the brand of your product\, what does your personal brand say about you? \nProducts aren’t the only thing that need to be differentiated in the market: so do sales and marketing experts. \nWhen you are trying to sell a product or influence a stakeholder\, you aren’t just selling them a product\, you’re selling them a package that you are a part of. How do you differentiate yourself to add value to that package? Is it through the information you provide? How you provide it? Do you focus on relationship building or problem solving? \nDifferentiating yourself through your personal brand can be as integral to the success of the project as the product itself. \nAttendees of this presentation will walk away with the following: \n\nUnderstanding of the importance of differentiating yourself through your personal brand\nWay of determining how to find and define their personal brand\nTool and techniques to refine and leverage their brand\n\nSpeaker Bio\nMichael Kremer is the Vice President of Marketing at the ACPA and has spent almost 20 years in marketing. Throughout his almost 20 year career\, Michael has worked for a variety of different organizations including Caterpillar\, Intertek\, AgriSyng (an ag-tech start-up)\, and even ran his own business\, Eighty35 Marketing.
