Track IA
SEWER CONSTRUCTION & REHABILITATION
8:30 - 8:55 a.m.
Take Control Of Manhole Inflow, Infiltration
Speaker: William Goff, National Sales Manager,
Sealing Systems Inc.
Many people are aware of the challenges I&I brings
to any utility. However, they may not be fully aware
of how easy it is to identify the problems and what
methods are recommended to fix them. This presentation will give a closer look at infiltration identification, methods and products to use for correction and
remediation of I&I. It will also address proactive efforts and products to reduce or deny infiltration and,
thus, eliminate the need for rehabilitation. Prevention
is always less costly than remediation.
9 - 9:25 a.m.
Engineered Gaskets + CIPP = Verifiable
Watertight Sealing
Speaker: Rick Gage, VP Sales,
LMK Technologies
Previous CIPP lining trenchless rehabilitation solutions have not been able to adequately renew the

collection system or address the significant I&I
issues. This is due to water tracking into the annular
space between a CIPP liner and the host pipe. To
remedy this, engineered and molded hydrophilic
Neoprene gaskets were created for use in conjunction with current lining solutions. When exposed
to water, the gaskets swell to create a positive
compression seal that prevents water from tracking.
The presentation will explore the incorporation of
engineered, seamlessly molded gaskets with CIPP,
research and testing methods used during development, and case studies.
9:30 - 9:55 a.m.
Using UV CIPP To Rehab Boston Sewers
That Change Shape
Speaker: Mike App, Senior Project Manager,
Precision Trenchless LLC
We will examine the UV cured fiberglass project
on Boston, MA's exclusive Ridgeway Lane. This
two-lane, 12-foot wide street, with the State House
at its head, has the existing and working gas lamps,
and a challenging sewer system. The section to
be rehabilitated was 150 LF in length, but the pipe
changed shape three times and its diameter changed
four times, and homes and businesses had to be kept
open and able to operate. Discussion will include
the design work and the unique ability of UV cured
fiberglass to handle such varied conditions and
challenges.
10 - 10:25 a.m.

Fast-Tracked Microtunneling Project Benefits
All Stakeholders
Speakers: David Kennedy, Senior Project Manager,
BRH-Garver Construction;
Nick Prince, Construction Project Manager,
Buildings & Infrastructure, Jacobs
A 15,000' large-diameter, microtunneling project in
Houston was scheduled to last three years. Due to
the timing of the project and projected backlog, the
contractor requested to fast track the schedule by
mobilizing a second microtunnel boring machine
(MTBM) to work concurrently with the first MTBM,
and doubling the estimated production rates. The
microtunneling was successfully completed 10
months ahead of schedule. The presentation will
discuss challenges of obtaining the required variances; minimizing mobilization cost; site utilization
and traffic control; shaft and manhole installation;
achieving stakeholder's goals; and benefits for the
contractor, owner and general public.
10:30 - 10:55 a.m.
Eagle On A Par 5: Fort Worth's Sycamore Creek
Relief Interceptor Design
Speakers: Liam Conlon, Project Manager, City of Fort
Worth Water Department;
Justin Reeves, Project Principle,
Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam Inc.;
Paul Banschbach, Project Manager,
Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam Inc.
As populations blossom and existing wastewater
infrastructure becomes undersized and worn, adding
new assets to a city's system becomes a need, even
