Electrical Transmission and Substations: Civil and Structural Engineering

December 9-10, 2013 Denver, CO

Overview
Civil engineers are facing challenges every day with site, foundation and structural issues with electrical transmission and distribution infrastructure and projects. This seminar will explore and discuss those issues and case studies within the three category sessions of site, foundation, and structural steel presentations.

Who Should Attend

Recent civil engineering graduates new to T&D Experienced engineers new to T&D civil work Utility civil engineers requiring additional training T&D engineers seeking civil knowledge

Learning Outcomes
Discuss substation stormwater management and site grading design Identify substation site access considerations Review the uses and benefits of GIS mapping for routing of access roads Examine the methods and practices for dilled shaft foundations Discuss micropile applications as an alternative foundation design Explore potential remediation methods for existing in-service lines Review lattice tower design trends, optimization and scheduling Discuss lattice tower design for severe weather conditions Identify clearance considerations for structural steel Examine the methods and benefits to full scale testing of lattice towers

- Eric J. Risberg, V.P. of Engineering, Director - Business Development and Marketing, Case Foundation 2:15 3:15p.m. Analysis of Micropile Foundations This presentation will discuss the use of micropiles as one foundation alternative for high voltage transmission structures. A number of large-scale, recently completed projects will serve as case studies in this discussion. The presenters will then introduce a broad range of shallow and deep foundation options and discuss general guidelines for determining the optimal foundation type depending on project conditions. Factors which can impact schedule and cost throughout construction will be identified for each. Foundation options discussed will include drilled shaft, driven pile, rock anchor, grillage and spread footing. - Nick Salisbury, President, Crux Subsurface, Inc. - Steve Davidow, P.E., S.E., Vice President of Engineering, Crux Subsurface, Inc. 3:15 3:45 p.m. Networking Break
