Main street, highway or freeway, designing, building, and maintaining roadways requires a team of skilled engineers. And with constant changes, tight deadlines, and budgets, the job isn't easy. Whether you're responsible for corridor, interchange, roundabout, sanitary or stormwater network design, or the design of subsurface utilities; Bentley's OpenRoads Designer is a versatile application with all the tools needed to deliver projects from st...

Many industrial products and construction organizations benefited from a recovery with rising demand in the past year. A new set of opportunities and challenges could unleash or constrain growth ambitions in 2022. How can companies stay ahead and extend their momentum? We’ll discuss: Sector by sector outlooks on the trends likely to affect key markets Insights on how pressing topics including shortages and sustainability will shape the i...

The aerospace industry has a history of demonstrated success in helping address the impacts of air travel on the climate, yet there is mounting pressure to do more. Electric propulsion is emerging as a promising zero-emission technology to reduce emissions in the long term. We’ll discuss: What is the business imperative if carbon emissions are not reduced? How can the industry drive disruptive innovation to reduce carbon emissions? What...

Many state and local public works agencies are planning to leverage the upcoming infrastructure package from Congress to tackle their growing list of infrastructure planning, maintenance, and rehabilitation needs. Planning for infrastructure development can be difficult when agencies are relying on single-purpose computer-aided design (CAD) systems that don't support a rapid, agile design workflows or today's remote collaboration needs. MicroS...

Water system design and analysis can be costly, time consuming, and challenging for municipal agencies. The combination of CAD, GIS, simulation and analysis features needed to produce a useful model usually means bouncing between different technologies and platforms. Often, it's a marginal CAD-enabled platform that requires export to a GIS platform, or a limited bolt-on tool that is tied to a GIS platform, neither supporting the iterative need...

SECURITY and ENGINEERING personnel involved in designing entry control facilities, both vehicular or pedestrian, will attend this three-day course. Students will focus their attention on the features required for the effective, efficient and safe operation of access and entry control points at compounds and controlled area perimeters. Items discussed include; calculating lane queuing, guard shack and guard manning requirements, barrier resista...

To protect the health and safety of attendees, this event has been moved to online-only due to COVID-19 concerns. This 2.5-day introductory course is designed to be a participatory, interactive workshop, which will cover the basic elements required to understand and evaluate seepage-related issues for earth dams. The first day begins with providing an understanding of why seepage mechanisms in earth dams are important to dam safety. Discussion...

To protect the health and safety of attendees, this event has been moved to online-only due to COVID-19 concerns. The objective of this course will be to provide a comprehensive presentation of the significant principles and concepts of soil mechanics to the participants. The material will be presented with emphasis on the basic soil mechanics principles prerequisite to further study for design or rehabilitation of earth embankment dams. This...
