8 a.m. - Noon

8 a.m.-Noon

* School A - Advanced Horizontal Directional Drilling
(HDD) (Part One): Planning and design of large, midand small-size HDD projects from inception to closeout
and delivery. The school includes talks on pipe loads,
bore planning, drilling fluids and case studies.
* School B - Geotechnical (Part One): Geotechnical
requirements for both trenchless and open-cut applications,
soft soils and rock investigation methods, and how ground
conditions will affect trenchless feasibility and productivity.
* School C - Pipe (Part One): This school will cover
applications, capabilities, manufacturing, standards,
advantages and limitations of steel and rigid pipes, such as
clay and concrete, and new developments in these pipe
materials and joining systems.

* School G - Microtunneling and Pilot Tube: This school
covers planning, design and construction of Microtunneling
methods (MT) and pilot tube and other guided boring methods
(PTGBM) and will include case studies. A discussion of new
ASCE Microtunneling Standards and Manual of Practice on
PTGBM will be presented by authors.
* School H - Pipeline Inspection and Asset Management
(NEW!): This school will cover pipeline inspection for gravity
and pressure applications, including water, sewer (sanitary
and storm), oil and gas. It will also include Information on
how to use pipeline inspection and assessment data to renew
deteriorated pipelines.

1 - 5 p.m.

* School D - Advanced Horizontal Directional Drilling
(HDD) (Part Two): The second part of this school includes
construction projects of all sizes, plus tracking, tooling and
locating, and case studies.
* School E - Geotechnical (Part Two): Part Two covers
planning, geotechnical reporting, and contracting requirements
for trenchless technologies in different ground conditions.
* School F - Pipe (Part Two): This second part covers
applications, capabilities, manufacturing, standards,
advantages and limitations of flexible pipes, such as ductile
iron, PVC, HDPE, fiberglass, polypropylene, and new
developments in these pipe materials and joining systems.
