Parking : New York City operates two large Municipal parking lots less than a 1/2 mile away from DDC. One lot is located at Court Square, one block away from where the free Idcny shuttle bus stops. To take the shuttle bus, wait by the top of the escalator at the entrance to the subway station at the base of the Citicorp building. The other is a park and ride lot at Queens Plaza, from which you can walk to DDC. For information about the Municipal lots, visit DOT's Web site. There are also a limited number of 12-hour parking meter street spaces nearby. Edison Parkfast operates one parking lot in the immediate vicinity of the building. For information about rates and availability, call (888) 727-5327. LaGuardia Commuter Parking also operates a parking lot less than a block away from DDC. For information about rates and availability call (718) 707-0403. Edison Parkfast and LaGuardia Commuter Parking are privately owned and operated. Please note that parking space near DDC is limited, and taking public transportation is strongly encouraged.

Title: Geopolymer Lining Testing
Presenters: Scott Naiva, Milliken Infrastructure Solutions
Duration: 30 min + 15 min Q/A
Abstract: Trenchless repair of both storm and sanitary sewer piping across the world has become one of the most effective techniques for updating the status of buried infrastructure while reducing the burden and disruption on the public. A new cost effective and viable technology for the trenchless repair of large diameter (>36”) pipes involves a sprayed geopolymer mortar to create a new structural pipe with in an existing host structure. Recent testing on corrugated metal and reinforced concrete pipes has been undertaken to help engineers better specify and design a cementitious geopolymer structural lining. Results of completed testing at Queens University under the direction of Ian Moore, as well as testing performed at the Trenchless Technology Center at Louisiana Tech University will be presented and discussed.
Title: State of the Art in CIPP
Presenters: Mike Burkhard, Reline America and Ed Kampbell, Rehabilitation Resource Solutions
Duration: 60 min + 15 min Q/A
Abstract: The evolution of Cipp in the last 15 years has dramatically changed the landscape with respect to the products available and the quality assurance testing requirements which engineers need to employ in order to verify the installer’s performance. This presentation will discuss the standard felt fiber tube Cipp systems and the hybrid reinforced felt fiber Cipp systems cured by the application of heat, and the full composite Cipp systems cured by the exposure to Uv light. Given the size range of the Uv light cured systems available today and the inherent strength of the composite glass fiber tube, Owners and Engineers have a viable alternative that fits well inside the host pipe’s geometry and can be deployed anywhere in the sanitary and storm sewer piping system without any cause for concerns of damage to the wastewater treatment systems or the area waterways they serve in; including box-shaped structures. Taking advantage of this new breed of Cipp composites requires understanding the proper amendments to the standard Astm test protocols in order to correctly evaluate the finished product.
Title: New Diagnostic Imaging Technique, BCT, for the In-situ Assessment of Supporting Soil around Corrugated Metal Storm-water Pipe. A Case Study: System Wide Approach to Asset Management for the City of Guelph
Presenters: Stephen McCormick, InversaSystems
Duration: 45 min + 15 min Q/A
Abstract: Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) is heavily reliant on supporting soil for structural integrity. As such a condition assessment must include assessment of the supporting soil to be considered structural. Previously there was no conclusive and quantifiable way to assess soil condition without damaging the pipe wall— further compromising the structural condition of the pipe. Backscatter Computed Tomography (BCT) has been applied to this unmet inspection challenge and is capable of providing diagnostic imaging to enhance the understanding of structural soil conditions around CMP assets. BCT allows a full structural condition assessment and is the only non-destructive method for imaging in-situ soil voids and undermining around CMP. As part of a comprehensive assessment protocol, this technology can be used in asset management programs, rehabilitation planning, safe replacement deferral and post construction QA/QC.
Title: Trenchless Construction Meets Contaminated Ground
Presenter: Tennyson M. Muindi, Jacobs Associates
Duration: 30 min + 15 min Q/A
Abstract: Replacement of aging infrastructure requiring construction along alignments that are highly contaminated is subject to costly and stringent regulatory controls. New installations where favorable routing is not available are also subject to similar constraints. Examples of such installations are former industrial sites, reclaimed or filled urban lands, and rivers impacted by past industrial activity and navigation. This presentation examines some adaptations to the trenchless construction processes that lead to risk minimization thus enabling installations in environmentally adverse ground conditions.
Title: Advanced Non-Intrusive Duct Lining Technology for Rehabilitation of Deteriorated Ducts in Residential Buildings
Presenters: TBA, TTC, Louisiana Tech
Duration: 30 min + 15 min Q/A
Abstract: This presentation will describe a new Cipp liner developed at the Louisiana Tech for lining ducts in residential dwellings. A field demo of this technology is considered in Bohemia, NY for the week of November 10 th, 2014, but the demo need to be confirmed . If confirmed, Wednesday November 13 th will be the best day for visiting the site. More details will be provided soon.
