SUMMARY:Resilience: The Key to Sustainable Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Location: Frisco 1-5 \nSpeaker:  Trygve Hoff\, P.E.\, ENV SP – American Concrete Pipe Association \nPresentation Description: \nResilience stands as the bedrock of sustainable infrastructure\, ensuring longevity and adaptability amid mounting challenges. In the face of climate change\, natural disasters\, and manmade disasters\, resilient systems can withstand shocks\, recover swiftly\, and continue functioning efficiently. Integrating resilient designs\, materials\, and strategies safeguards investments\, and while minimizing environmental impact. After all\, specifying a resilient product that will remain in use for 100+ years is significantly more sustainable than using one that must be remade and replaced multiple times. \nSpeaker Bio: \nTryg Hoff 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. He currently lives in Madison\, Virginia\, near the Blue Ridge mountains with his wife\, Brooks\, on a small 40‐acre horse farm. Tryg is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Ohio\, and an Envision Sustainability Professional. He has been promoting resilient infrastructure with the ACPA since 2012.

SUMMARY:Advantages of Collaboration with Producers
DESCRIPTION:Location: Frisco 3\,4\, 5 \nSpeakers:  Joe Black\, P.E. – MnDOT\nRiley Dvorak\, P.E. – Rinker Materials \nPresentation Description: \nUpdating standards can be a tremendously tedious process that inevitably involves many stakeholders. Over the past 6 years\, the Minnesota DOT (MnDOT) and the Minnesota Concrete Pipe (MNCPA) have engaged in a joint technical committee focused on updating and improving concrete pipe and box culvert standards for the advancement of Minnesota infrastructure and the precast industry. The committee includes representation from MnDOT materials\, bridge\, and hydraulic departments as well as 4 different local precast producers. The committee has progressively been working through updates to different sets of standards including pipe\, arch pipe\, manholes\, and box culverts\, as well as the development of new product standards. Throughout this process\, open communication and partnership have helped to find amicable solutions and advance standards in a direction that makes sense to MnDOT and the precast producers. This presentation will focus on lessons learned from this engagement and the realized benefits of regular collaboration between DOT and producers. \nSpeaker Bios: \nJoe Black is a licensed professional engineer working for the Minnesota DOT (MnDOT) Bridge Office\, Standards and Research division. Joe is in charge of the design of standards including precast concrete box culverts\, concrete pipe\, and other features such as CIP cantilever retaining walls. He has 13 years experience with MnDOT with 6 years of experience working with MnCPA. Joe lives with his wife and 5 children in North St. Paul\, MN. \nRiley Dvorak is a licensed professional engineer serving as the technical resource engineer for Rinker Materials in Minnesota. Riley holds over 9 years of experience in the reinforced concrete pipe industry with a diverse array of experience. Currently\, his primarily role is standard development on both local and national levels. Riley and his wife reside in Prior Lake\, MN with three boys under 5 years old.

SUMMARY:Creating and Implementing Aquatic Connectivity Policies for WisDOT Administered Projects
DESCRIPTION:Location: Frisco 3\, 4\, 5 \nSpeaker:  Ed Lilla\, P.E. – WisDOT \nPresentation Description: \nAfter over 10 years of discussions and an ad hoc project by project approach to addressing Aquatic Connectivity (also known as Aquatic Organism Passage or AOP)\, in 2021 the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources issued an attachment to their Cooperative Agreement to address Aquatic Connectivity needs on projects. While AOP for road-stream crossing design has become common practice for coastal states to address the seasonal migration of anadromous fish species\, it has been slower to be implemented in midwestern states. This presentation discusses the challenges in creating and implementing AOP policies and standards at Wisconsin DOT. Inclusive in the discussion will be how AOP designs have increased the use of large diameter precast pipe and some of the unique challenges related to construction. \nSpeaker Bio: \nEd serves as one of Wisconsin DOT’s statewide drainage engineers in its Central Office Bureau of Project Development where he has worked the last 7 seven years. His responsibilities include development of WisDOT’s policies\, specifications\, and guidelines that relate to all things drainage apart from bridges. Prior to coming to WisDOT\, Ed worked primarily as a consultant specializing in municipal and environmental engineering. Ed lives in the driftless area of southwest Wisconsin with his wife and family.

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.
