SUMMARY:Jacking Pipe Under Highways & Railroads
DESCRIPTION:Location: Frisco 1 \nSpeaker:  Aiden Rajswing\, P.E. – Thompson Pipe Group \nPresentation Description: \nTrenchless methods are popular in the industry especially when reducing impact on the community and transportation systems is required. A common trenchless method for installation of Reinforced Concrete Pipe is Pipe Jacking. Pipe Jacking involves tunneling through the soil without disturbance to the community above the tunnel. Jacking allows certain projects that are not feasible through open cut methods to come to fruition\, a few of these will be discussed in this presentation. The TxDOT permits Reinforced Concrete Pipe for Jacking\, Boring\, and Tunneling which is the preferred method for pipe construction under a Highway or Railroad. Thompson Pipe Group will explore how concrete joints are selected\, their jacking capacity and trenchless methods available in the industry. \nSpeaker Bio: \nAiden has a BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Colorado-Boulder and minors in Economics and French. He has construction experience as a Field Engineer for Kiewit Infrastructure West. Aiden has been a Texas Registered Professional Engineer since October 2020. He has 6 years of experience with Thompson Pipe Group Business Development and Engineering. He has two dogs and wife\, goes to Octoberfest in Munich every year\, and although he is a horrible skier\, he still loves it.

SUMMARY:Changes to the AASHTO Design Service Life
DESCRIPTION:Location: Frisco 2 \nSpeaker:  Josh Beakley\, P.E. – American Concrete Pipe Association\n \nPresentation Description: \nThis past summer\, the AASHTO Committee on Bridges and Structures approved the incorporation of 100 year material design properties for some thermoplastic pipes. AASHTO does not require a 100 year service life\, so this is somewhat unique. What service life should be given to the different pipe materials? Is it really as simple as just picking a pipe type and saying it has a 100 year service life\, or is there more to it? What is a “typical drainage application”? Let’s discuss. \nSpeaker Bio: \nJosh Beakley is Vice President of Engineering for the American Concrete Pipe Association. He is a registered professional engineer in the state of Virginia. Josh received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Rutgers University\, New Brunswick\, NJ and received his Masters in Geotechnical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington. \nJosh has been with the American Concrete Pipe Association since 1994. Prior to joining ACPA\, he worked as a Civil Engineer for the Bechtel Power Corporation. \nIn his job functions for the American Concrete Pipe Association Josh represents the industry on national standards making committees. He also coordinates research and design programs for the precast concrete culvert industry. Occasionally\, he assists engineers with the design and specification of precast concrete pipe and box culverts as well as performing educational seminars. \nJosh is a member of ASCE\, ACI\, ASTM\, and participates in AASHTO functions. He is a Spangler Award Winner\, and an Award of Merit Honoree of ASTM\, as well as a Heger Award Honoree of ACPA. He was also an ASCE Outstanding Reviewer in 2020 for the ASCE Journal of Pipeline Systems Engineering and Practice.

SUMMARY:ASTM Committee C13 on Concrete Pipe and the Value of your Participation
DESCRIPTION:Location: Frisco 3\, 4\, 5 \nSpeaker:  Jimmy Farrell – ASTM International \nPresentation Description: \nThis presentation is aimed at demonstrating the value of participating in ASTM International standards development\, particularly for regulators. 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\, and the more relevant they’ll be for regulators looking to have ways to meet regulation. They’ll be a brief refresher on ASTM the organization\, and then there will be an overview of Committee C13 on Concrete Pipe.  Which will include how the committee is addressing all areas of standardization in the concrete pipe realm including: 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. \nThe presentation will now shift to a case study of how regulatory need and involvement in the standards development process aided in the creation of C1433 – Standard Specification for Precast Reinforced Concrete Monolithic Box Sections for Culverts\, Storm Drains\, and Sewers. \nSpeaker Bio: \nJimmy Farrell is a Technical Committees Manager at ASTM International. He manages 4 technical committees\, C04 on Vitrified Clay Pipe\, C13 on Concrete Pipe\, C28 on Advanced Ceramics and D37 on Cannabis. Along with managing committees\, Jimmy also leads the maintenance and enhancement of a number of the online tools and systems used by ASTM’s membership.
