Kwin Peterson from RH Borden will be presenting What We’ve Learned From 50+ I&I Studies.

Significant changes in sensor technology and modeling have changed what we can expect regarding I&I mitigation. This presentation will look at the results of studies in recent months from NorCal and elsewhere in North America.

Ian Morales from PaverOps will be presenting on Using GIS to improve Project Scheduling and Utility Coordination. Presentation Summary: pipe users are in an era of asset replacement and rehabilitation, often facing more projects than time or budget allows. Optimizing how and when projects are scheduled in the capital project plan by avoiding potential construction conflicts or identifying collaboration opportunities years in advance can save an agency significant time, money, and frustrating rework. Learn how GIS-based technology can seamlessly refine your existing processes, optimize project planning, improve communication, and support more efficient utility coordination in the shared rights-of-way.
