Leading Experts to Gather in Boulder, Colorado, Feb.
5-7th 2019
The agenda topics for the annual Microtunneling Short
Course at the University of Colorado Boulder February 5-7, 2019, has been
announced. This year’s emphasis will be noticeably different than the past 25
years’ agenda, as more content will focus on construction projects/histories,
technologies, offshore contractors, high profile projects and the how-to’s of
what’s being done in the microtunneling industry today. A one-day Pilot
Tube/GBM Seminar will be held Feb. 4 at the Boulder Marriott, the host-hotel
for the Microtunneling Short Course.
Classroom-style presentations covering technical
topics and case histories will be presented by contractors, engineers and
manufacturers/suppliers and will provide attendees with a better and more
realistic view of the technology, owners will realize the benefits of the technologies
and contractors will takeaway new insights.
The entire four-day seminar will be presented by
experts in the industry who will cover everything from projects, legal issues,
design and construction and include:
- Michels’
470-ft S curve under the Tualatin River in Oregon
- Eurohinca
case study on their construction of a 7,368-ft outfall
- The Direct
Pipe system by IPC and Laney using Herrenknecht equipment
- Ward and
Burke Microtunneling case histories on recent projects in New York,
British Columbia, and the United Kingdom
- New
technology for settlement control, jacking force reduction, navigation and
more
