LIVE - Sustainable Utility Construction: Methods and Techniques
Sustainability is best defined by the phrase ”stewardship of resources in a manner that provides for the needs of today while not adversely impacting the ability of future generations to meet their needs”.
What we do today can have either a positive or negative impact on generations to come. It is imperative that we make the right decisions today to preserve the limited resource of our rights – of –way by adopting new concepts that will lessen the environmental, social and economic impact of our activities today while benefitting generations to come. By incorporating the “triple bottom line” approach to sustainability as it relates to construction methods, a project will show attributes of sustainability in all three phases; economic viability, social responsibility, and environmental responsibility.
Design concepts such as duct banks, joint trenches/joint bundling and common trenches can be employed for new construction both inside and outside of ROW. In the same way, trenchless technologies/construction techniques such as Horizontal Directional Drilling, Pipe Bursting, and Pipe Reaming among others are ideally suited for rehabilitation of existing utilities wherever they may
lie. In both instances new construction and rehabilitation, sustainability can be achieved.
This session will include further descriptions of techniques and concepts as outlined and illustrate how economic viability, social responsibility, and environmental responsibility can be achieved to promote constructible sustainability in your community.
After Viewing this program, participants will be better able to:
• Advocate for the use of trenchless technology methods that promote sustainability.
• Differentiate between sustainable and non-sustainable construction methods.
• Evaluate project needs in order to select the best sustainable construction methods.
This program has been approved for .2 CEUs or 2 PDHs. The form to request these credits is included in the handouts for this program. Please note there is a $5 fee per individual requesting CEUs.
