Upcoming Webinar: Mitigating Problems and Improving Durability in Water and Wastewater Infrastructure

 

Water and wastewater infrastructure are routinely subjected to harsh environments and susceptible to premature deterioration or failure of structural elements. However, with proper design and construction, new structures can reach their desired service life without the need for significant repair or rehabilitation. With effective mitigation strategies, existing structures where leakage or corrosion has initiated can be repaired and protected against further deterioration.

In this complimentary one-hour webinar, structural engineers Stephen Foster and Terry McGovern will explore common distress mechanisms and mitigation strategies for improving durability in water-retaining assets. Project examples will be used to illustrate different design and protection solutions and how these approaches are used to prevent or repair structural distress.

By the end of the webinar, you will be able to:

  • List common distress mechanisms for concrete water and wastewater structures
  • Identify actions that can improve durability of concrete water and wastewater structures
  • Describe common pitfalls to avoid in the design and construction of concrete water and wastewater structures
  • Compare different strategies for repairing concrete water and wastewater structures exhibiting distress

There will be plenty of time for your questions during the presentation. Attendees are eligible for one American Institute of Architects (AIA) HSW Learning Unit.
