Description

This is a 2-part webinar. These webinars aim to offer valuable perspectives on the Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) sector. ASCE acknowledges the critical role of utility engineering within civil engineering. Utility engineering encompasses the planning, positioning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and asset management of utility systems, along with their interplay with other civil infrastructure. SUE is delineated as a specialized area within civil engineering’s utility engineering discipline, involving investigation, analysis, decision-making, and documentation and management of existing utility networks.

Objectives 

At the end of both Part 1 and 2 of the webinars, participants will be able to understand the followings:

Part 1 of 2: September 12

• What utilities’ discipline is, its guidelines and standards
• Utility engineering process in infrastructure projects
• Utility design requirements and constraints 

Part 2 of 2: September 26

• The delineation between utility discipline and other engineering disciplines
• Challenges that utility engineer needs to face and strategies to mitigate
• Utility engineer responsibilities 

You may be eligible for 1 CPD hour.

• Member Price: $0.00 (Please log in to see Member pricing. Price will automatically update in your cart)
