Virtual Tour
Engineered Strength
Presenters:
Devin Zipperer & Don Conrad, P.E.
Diamond Concrete Products
Take a trip to Savannah, GA, as we virtually tour Diamond Concrete’s new plant and get a firsthand look at the production process of concrete pipe. As we tour the plant, you will see the engineering and production methods that give concrete pipe and box culverts their inherent strength that helps them last well over 100 years once installed.
Webinar
Proven Resilience
Presenter:
Corey Fraser, P.E.
Concrete Pipe Northwest
Communities across the Nation heavily rely on precast concrete pipe and boxes to provide safe, effective stormwater infrastructure. Infrastructure that can be exposed to a variety of natural and social disasters, amplifying the need for resilient design. In this presentation, we will define resilience and its importance for stormwater drainage products. We will also showcase specific examples of their resiliency in fires, floods, and other natural disasters.
Webinar
Undeniable Sustainability
Presenter:
Tryg Hoff, P.E., ENV SP
American Concrete Pipe Association
Resilience stands as the bedrock of sustainable infrastructure, ensuring longevity and adaptability amid mounting challenges. In the face of climate change, natural disasters, and manmade disasters, resilient systems can withstand shocks, recover swiftly, and continue functioning efficiently. Integrating resilient designs, materials, and strategies safeguards investments, and while minimizing environmental impact. After all, specifying a resilient product that will remain in use for 100+ years is significantly more sustainable than using one that must be remade and replaced multiple times.
Webinar
