SUMMARY:Resilience & Sustainability in Delaware
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom C \nSpeaker:  Jim Pappas\, P.E.\, M.B.A. – DelDOT \nPresentation Description: \nAs the lowest lying state in the nation\, Delaware is familiar with the effects of climate change and sea level rise on the infrastructure.  We see this on a daily basis as some roads have overtopping of water due to tide and wind cycles\, regardless of storm events.  Also known as “sunny day” flooding events\, they are becoming more frequent and widespread across the state’s roadway network and cause an ever-increasing amount of concern as some of these roadways provide the vital link to communities that have only a single point of access. \nSpeaker Bio: \nJim received his Bachelor of Civil Engineering from the University of Delaware and Masters in Business Administration with a concentration in Environmental Sustainability from Wilmington University. He’s worked for Delaware Department of Transportation for over 30 years. A majority of his time was in pavement and materials engineering then as Assistant Director of Performance Management\, Deputy Director of Operations and Support\, and now Director of Transportation Resiliency & Sustainability.

SUMMARY:ASTM Participation
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom C \nSpeaker:  Jimmy Farrell – ASTM \nPresentation Description \nThis presentation is aimed at educating attendees on ASTM International and our standards development process. ASTM committees are made up of volunteer members who participate in all aspects of an industry\, and the more voices that participate\, the more relevant the standards will be to the marketplace. Once and understanding is created on ASTM the organization\, we will then give an overview of Committee C13 on Concrete Pipe to demonstrate how the committee is addressing all areas of standardization in the concrete pipe\, concrete box sections and concrete manhole sections used for constructing sewers\, culverts\, irrigation and drainage systems\, low pressure pipeline systems\, and for factory-made compression and self-energizing joints. \nNow that attendees know how to participate\, two case studies will be shared by an ASTM member\, highlighting: a need for standardization\, how that idea got brought to C13\, the way a task group works together to turn the need into a standard\, the ASTM balloting process shaping the content of the standard to be relevant in industry\, and finally its application as an approved document. \nSpeaker Bio \nJimmy Farrell is a manager in the Technical Committee Operations Division of ASTM International\, one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations in the world. \nIn his role\, Jimmy has direct responsibility for the standards development activities within Committees C04 on Vitrified Clay Pipe\, C28 on Advanced Ceramics\, D37 on Cannabis and C13 on Concrete Pipe. By bringing together industry and manufacturers\, consumers\, testing labs and regulators within Committee C13\, Jimmy manages the technical committee that addresses the formulation and review of specifications\, methods of test and definitions for concrete pipe\, concrete box sections and concrete manhole sections used for constructing sewers\, culverts\, irrigation and drainage systems\, low pressure pipeline systems\, and for factory-made compression and self-energizing joints. As well as development and review of practices and guides covering design installation\, testing\, economic evaluation\, inspections\, rehabilitation\, maintenance\, and all other post installation and performance matters of concrete pipe systems and products listed above. \nJimmy earned his bachelor’s degree in Communications Journalism from Shippensburg University.

SUMMARY:The Future of Cement for Water Resource Application
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom B \nSpeaker:  Josh Gilman\, P.E. – Portland Cement Association (PCA) \nPresentation Description\nConcrete pipe and other products contribute to the economic viability and resilience of water resources projects. Products are often selected for the long service life they provide\, which can be readily demonstrated with a life cycle analysis (LCA). The initial carbon footprint of any material or construction method is an important aspect of an LCA\, but it is not the only one and may not even have the greatest contribution: maintenance considerations and overall service life may ultimately outweigh the initial footprint. Long lasting\, sustainable structures require durable and resilient materials\, and for most applications concrete is the material of choice. \nOrdinary portland cement (OPC) manufactured to meet the ASTM C150 standard has been the default binder material in concrete specifications for water resources projects for decades. The properties and performance of both fresh and hardened OPC concrete are well documented\, as is the superior durability and longevity of concrete structures that are properly designed and constructed. The environmental impact of manufacturing OPC is also well documented\, and regulators impose strict requirements on all cement producers to monitor and report emissions. According to the U.S. Environmental Protections Agency (EPA)\, the CO2 footprint of cement production in the U.S. accounts for 1.25% of the total U.S. CO2 emissions. Although the industry has made considerable progress since the 1970’s to reduce its energy demand by 40%\, the Portland Cement Association (PCA) and its members recognized that more must be done to tackle the carbon footprint of the cement and concrete industry\, and developed a Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality to lay out specific tasks and targets to achieve its goals. \nPortland-Limestone Cement (PLC)\, was developed with the capability to replace Type I/II OPC in concrete mixtures at a 1:1 ratio. PLC is engineered to maintain the same performance as OPC but as a “greener” cement\, offers up to a 10% lower carbon footprint than OPC. PLC is manufactured to meet the ASTM C595 blended cement specification\, and extensive comparison testing has demonstrated its equivalent properties and performance\, including alkali-silica reaction (ASR) resistance\, corrosion prevention\, freeze-thaw resistance and sulfate resistance when compared to OPC. PLC performs like OPC when combined with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and admixtures in concrete mixtures at equivalent proportions. Replacing OPC with PLC in concrete for water resource projects delivers the same long-term durability and resilience with the added benefit of significantly reducing the carbon footprint. \nLearning Objectives:\n• Describe the importance of evaluating the whole lifespan of a project to understand the carbon footprint and compare alternatives.\n• Explain the environmental impact of producing portland cement and the efforts of the industry to reduce its carbon footprint.\n• Recognize PLC and how it can be substituted for OPC to improve the environmental impacts of concrete while maintaining the same properties and performance. \nSpeaker Bio \nJoshua Gilman\, P.E.\, is the manager of water resources and geotechnical markets for PCA. He is responsible for market development and expanding the use of concrete and other cement-based materials for water resources and geotechnical applications including roller-compacted concrete\, soil-cement and waste stabilization. \nGilman has more than 10 years of experience in the geotechnical and water resources markets. Prior to joining PCA\, Gilman held geotechnical engineering positions with consulting firms in the Northeastern and Southeastern United States\, and most-recently managed a satellite office for a large firm performing geotechnical and construction materials testing services. Water resources\, especially dam engineering and dam safety\, have been a focus throughout Gilman’s career including employment with a multi-discipline consulting firm that served the hydropower industry. \nGilman holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Norwich University\, and is a licensed professional engineer in the state of North Carolina.

SUMMARY:Performance Management - Monday
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom F \nSpeaker: Champman & Co. Leadership Institute – Partner with Afinitas \nPresentation Description:\nRegardless of the product or service\, all organizations have two things in common: they employ and serve people. The majority of a person’s waking hours are spent in their place of employment. Yet according to a Harvard Business Review survey\, 58% of people report they would trust a stranger more than they would trust their direct leader. Organizations have a significant opportunity to treat people in a different way; a way that energizes\, provides purpose\, and leads to personal growth. After over 110+ acquisitions in our parent company\, Barry-Wehmiller\, we’ve learned that building a great culture at work can happen without sacrificing profits. In fact\, building a strong culture leads to an even stronger business. We can show you how. \nhttps://www.ccoleadership.com/
