SUMMARY:Small Drainage Inventory
DESCRIPTION:Location: Kojo Kamau C – 4th Floor \nSpeaker:  Brian Schroeder\, P.E. – KYTC\nMichael Edwards\, P.E. – Qk4 Engineering and Planning\n \nPresentation Description: \nRecent catastrophic events have exposed deficiencies in KYTC’s asset management. This prompted a large-scale project to identify and evaluate all small drainage structures (12 inch to <20 feet) located on KYTC roadways statewide. We will discuss the precipitating events\, the data collection process\, lessons learned and where the project stands to date. \nSpeaker Bio: \nBrian Schroeder graduated from the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. He began his career working with structural consultants. After a brief stint in aviation\, he later found his home with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Division of Maintenance working on roadway maintenance. Brian has been with KYTC for 12 years\, all of it in the Division of Maintenance. \nBrian lives in Lexington\, KY with his wife and their two energetic children. \n  \nMichael attended the University of Kentucky and graduated with a B.S. in Civil Engineering in 2012. Michael worked for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet inspecting bridges from 2012-2015 in KYTC District 8 before taking a position with the cabinet in Central Office as a Load Rating Engineer and Superloads Program Manager from 2015-2018. In 2018\, Michael returned home and took on the role of the District 8 Bridge Engineer where he oversaw inspection and maintenance for more than 1\,000 structures across 10 counties in Southeastern Kentucky.  Michael left the cabinet in 2022 to join Qk4 Engineering and Planning as a structural engineer\, specializing in field bridge inspection.  \n

SUMMARY:Moving Super Loads
DESCRIPTION:Location: Kojo Kamau C – 4th Floor \nSpeakers:  Matt Bruning – ODOT\nJacque Annarino – ODOT \nPresentation Description: \nMoving super loads takes a lot of planning\, preparation\, coordination\, analysis\, and communication. Imagine planning and preparing to move approximately two dozen super loads that are approximately 170 miles along the same roadways in less than one year. Now\, imagine four of those loads being mega loads measuring approximately 23’ tall\, 20’ wide\, 280’ long\, and weighing in excess of 950\,000 pounds. ODOT will share information about how they worked internally as well as with Intel\, their subcontractors and haulers\, and various state and local public agencies to plan\, prepare for\, and manage the movement of these loads. \nSpeaker Bios: \nJacque Annarino\, Project Manager\, ODOT Office of Transportation & Economic Development\nJacque is currently the Project Manager in ODOT’s Office of Transportation & Economic Development. In this role\, she manages Silicon Heartland activities\, including development\, management\, and oversight of communication strategies\, local public agency coordination\, projects\, consultant contracts\, and programs. In her 25 years at ODOT\, she has managed the development\, monitoring\, and oversight of environmental policies and procedures\, public involvement plans\, environmental document review and preparation\, and training for small and large-scale ODOT projects. Her diverse background\, excellent communication skills\, and focus on delivering excellent customer service has led to improved relationships with transportation stakeholders around the state. \nMatt Bruning\, Press Secretary. Matt brings a wealth of media experience to his role as press secretary at the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). With a background in journalism and communications\, Matt understands the power of storytelling and effective messaging. Prior to joining ODOT\, he worked for 20 years as a radio news reporter in Ohio and Indiana.

SUMMARY:Box Culvert - Drainage Improvements along I-94 in Valley City
DESCRIPTION:Location: Kojo Kamau B\, C – 4th Floor \nSpeakers:  Michael E. Johnson\, P.E. – NDDOT\nBrandon Barnes – Barr Engineering Co. \nPresentation Description:\n \nImprovements to the drainage system along I94 were required because the existing storm sewer\, constructed in the mid-1960s\, was undersized and had reached the end of its design life. Site constraints\, including a building immediately adjacent to the storm pipe prevented replacement along the existing alignment. Faced with limited right of way\, high groundwater\, and poor soils\, NDDOT began the process of evaluating options for improving drainage. We’ll share lessons learned during design and construction as NDDOT navigated corridor filled with surprises including an historic dump site\, unmarked geothermal system\, and contaminated soil and groundwater. From old (very old) whiskey bottles to tanker trucks (lots of trucks)\, we’ll share the many obstacles overcome during construction of the new system to improve drainage in Valley City. \nSpeaker Bios: \nMichael serves as an Assistant Design Engineer in NDDOT’s Design Division.  His team serves as the lead roadway design group for NDDOT\, delivering projects of varied scope\, scale and complexity across the State Highway system.  In his time at NDDOT\, he has also been a lead designer himself\, a Project Manager for several projects and the MPO Coordinator.  Michael has been with NDDOT for 20 years. \nBrandon is a Vice President and Senior Water Resources Engineer with Barr Engineering Company and has more than 18 years of experience providing a wide range of water-resource management services. A highly regarded hydrologic and hydraulic modeler\, his project work includes design of storm sewer systems\, coincidental-frequency analyses\, and one- and two-dimensional hydrologic and hydraulic modeling for stormwater\, storm sewer\, flood-protection\, floodplain\, drainage\, and watershed-improvement projects. He enjoys evaluating existing systems and identifying strategies to optimize system performance. For drainage improvements near Valley City\, Brandon was the Project Manager of an interdisciplinary team that worked with NDDOT to modify the existing drainage system to improve conveyance and reduce flood-risk for existing infrastructure in the area.
