Technical Tracks
The Encore to Pipe School’s Technical Track will run from March 2nd – 4th and consists of three days of presentations, engagement, and a virtual tour. Participants can choose which courses throughout the three days of the encore session.
Tuesday, March 2nd
The Pipe School 2021 encore starts out strong with the first day of courses focusing on partnering with the industry, a virtual plant tour, safety, installation, and manufacturing. With presentation from personnel from DOTs, the ACPA, and its members, there is no shortage of talent or valuable information being conveyed.
Wednesday, March 3rd
The second day of the Pipe School 2021 encore is filled with presentations right from the field experts themselves. Tackling subjects like engineering ethics, jack piping, post-installation inspection, innovation, and micro-tunneling, this day will continue to inform you on a variety of topics while challenging your current knowledge base.
Thursday, Wednesday 4th
The last day of the three day encore to Pipe School 2021, might be the most exciting yet. Some of the industry’s brightest look at different design methods, provides a take on fires and public safety, dive deeper into the topic of sustainability, and we even ask the ultimate question when it comes to installation: which is better, plastic or concrete? This is a day you won’t want to miss and a great way to wrap up our final day of the encore.
