SUMMARY:DOT Pipe Inspection Crews
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom C \nSpeaker:  Joseph Barbour\, P.E.\, – NCDOT \nPresentation Description: \nThe NCDOT Materials and Tests CCTV pipe inspections are performed by NASSCO PACP licensed technicians and engineers. Materials and Tests’ CCTV pipe inspections focus primarily around project level quality acceptance inspections and reactive maintenance-based investigations. Primary defect observations that are taken on project level\, quality acceptance-based inspections on newly installed pipes are reflective of the observations and defects noted in the NASSCO PACP manual and range from cracks/fractures to offset and separated joints. Some of Materials and Test’s recent research initiatives involving CCTV pipe inspections have ranged from a recently conducted Statewide HDPE pipe survey to an ongoing Statewide environmental survey to understand better how and where bats are inhabiting small diameter\, NCDOT maintained culverts. \nSpeaker Bio:\n \nJoseph Barbour\, P.E.\, is the State Data Collection and Investigations Engineer for the North Carolina Department of Transportation Materials and Tests Unit. In 2012 he graduated from North Carolina State University with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. Joseph joined the DOT in 2019 as a State Data Collection Engineer. Prior to that he was a Project Design Engineer within the automotive\, hydraulic\, electrical engineering industries focusing on design\, testing\, manufacturing\, and project management. Joseph’s current position is responsible for providing the Department with both destructive and non-destructive testing\, investigation services\, data collection efforts\, research\, and analysis on pavements and subsurface structures.

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: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:Sign Truss Management
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom C \nSpeaker:  Tom Evers\, P.E. – MODOT \nPresentation Description: \nMaintaining an entire transportation system is an enormous undertaking\, and while MoDOT does a remarkable job managing the big ticket assets (pavement\, bridges\, etc) there are many that often are handled on a project by project basis. For MoDOT\, structural signing has been one of those elements that has historically fallen into that category. But now\, there is a systematic approach to inspecting and updating these to keep this asset sustainable for years to come. This presentation will explain howMoDOT’s St. Louis District manages their structural signs\, and how this approach could work for you. \nSpeaker Bio:\n \n\n\n\nTom is a graduate of the University of Missouri – Rolla\, leaving with a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering December 1998. He is a professional Engineer in the State of Missouri\, having started his career with MoDOT and holding positions in Construction and Design throughout his career. Tom was a Transportation Project Manager for MoDOT in the St. Louis Area from 2008-2011. He oversaw the I-70 Westbound Blanchette Bridge over the Missouri River superstructure replacement project. He was an area Engineer for MoDOT in St. Charles County from 2011-2015 and is currently the Assistant District Engineer in St. Louis overseeing all of Program Delivery. He lives in Maryland Heights with his wife and four children.

SUMMARY:RCP Under Deep Fills
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom C \nSpeaker:  Doug Kirk\, P.E. – WV DOT \nPresentation Description: \nWhen the West Virginia Division of Highways updated Design Directives to use more concrete pipe\, it seemed simple enough to add notes to the Fill Height Tables: “For fill heights that exceed those given for Class V pipe\, contact a supplier for a special design.” However\, producing culverts to withstand fill heights greater than 100 feet is challenging. Procedural changes and design innovations are being explored. These include earlier contact with culvert suppliers\, using box shapes instead of circular pipes\, dry-cast concrete\, and design changes to reduce the fill height. Suppliers\, designers\, and builders are working together to provide safe sustainable stream crossings for West Virginia Highways. \nSpeaker Bio:\n \nDoug Kirk has served as a Highway Engineer with the West Virginia Division of Highways for 27 years. After a few years in each of the roadway and structural design sections\, Doug discovered his niche as a founding member of the Hydraulic & Drainage Unit. The Unit has rewritten hydraulic Design Directives and the WVDOH Drainage Manual and continues to update them. Doug continues to advocate for sustainable design and construction of highways in his new position as Chief Engineer of Environmental Compliance. He is a Professional Engineer\, Certified Floodplain Manager\, and a graduate of the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
