The PA Section American Water Works Association is sponsoring a two-day workshop in Philadelphia on new tools to help renew aging infrastructure on February 7-8.

Water systems carry the lifeblood of modern society, providing the service needed to maintain public health and drive community growth. The stewards of these systems are faced with finding water-main renewal technologies capable of sustaining long-term community needs.

This seminar builds on asset management principles, provides a structured framework for rationalizing water-main renewal technology, and supports participants in filling their "renewal tool box" with material and installation options compatible with their objectives and regional environmental constraints. Participants will experience hands-on use of the tools presented.

This workshop would be helpful to asset managers, utility managers, capital planners, engineering staff, technical staff and distribution operators.

The instructors will be Chris Macey, PE National Technical Specialist, UMA Engineering Ltd., Winnipeg, Manitoba and Peter Oram, Sr. Associate Metcalf and Eddy Inc., Atlanta, Georgia.
