ESWP Webinar - IRISE at the University of Pittsburgh
2022-07-27 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual Event
Join us for our next ESWP Program Committee Webinar!

IRISE is guided by two main principles:

Innovative solutions to highway infrastructure problems are best achieved through a collaboration between the public agencies that own and operate the infrastructure and the private companies that design and build it.
Highway infrastructure research must aim to provide implementable solutions that meet the needs of these agencies and companies.

Over its life, IRISE has produced research products addressing member needs in areas such as bridge corrosion and condition assessment, landslide risks, and concrete pavement design, materials, and strength evaluation. In addition, ongoing efforts are exploring issues related to research benefits analysis, landslide best practices and data analysis, highway construction worker safety, and pavement construction, materials, and performance. This webinar will summarize some this work as well as the process adopted to insure impactful and implementable results.
FREE to attend, registration is required.

ESWP / PSPE Program with ALCOSAN
2022-10-04 08:00 - 10:00 | ESWP, 337 Fourth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, United States
SAVE THE DATE!
Registration & Breakfast Buffet – 8am
Program – 8:30am
The ALCOSAN Wastewater Treatment Expansion and the Ohio River Tunnel (ORT) Project are part of The Clean Water Plan (CWP), a $2 billion, long-term plan ALCOSAN submitted as a solution to eliminate approximately 7 billion gallons of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) annually into the Ohio, Allegheny, and Monongahela Rivers by 2036. As required by a Consent Decree signed by the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the PA Department of Environmental Protection, ALCOSAN is required to implement the CWP with an aggressive schedule.
The CWP includes the proposed expansion at the Woods Run WWTP. The proposed upgrades will expand the WWTP wet weather primary treatment capacity to 600 mgd. The secondary capacity of the WWTP will be increased to 295 mgd, from its currently permitted full treatment capacity of 250 mgd. The major projects associated with the expansion include a wet weather pump station, a 360 mgd east headworks facility, additional primary sedimentation and final secondary settling tanks, solids thickening and dewatering improvements, and construction of a second chlorine contact tank with a dry weather discharge outfall.
The Ohio River Tunnel (ORT) is the first of three new, large diameter deep tunnel projects that ALCOSAN will use toward the CWP’s overall goal to significantly reduce CSOs released into the region’s three rivers. The ORT Project includes one main rock tunnel (approximately 150 feet below ground) generally running parallel to the Ohio and Allegheny Rivers and two branch tunnels crossing beneath the Ohio River. The primary components of the ORT project include the main rock tunnel, ten shafts, two branch tunnels (Chartiers Creek and Saw Mill Run) and several near surface facilities.
