On Thursday, May 12, join the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Michigan

Section to celebrate its Centennial anniversary. An evening reception, dinner and short program will showcase the history and future of the Michigan Section and how ASCE has impacted Michigan’s infrastructure. Attendees will also have the opportunity to win either a framed, limited edition poster of the Mackinac Bridge signed by the artist or a trip to the top of the bridge itself.

Tours of local infrastructure projects are being planned. More information will be available soon.

On Friday, three Michigan organizations, the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and the Urban Land Institute (ULI), have partnered

to create an informative conference which will focus on how infrastructure can drive economic development through emerging or expanding markets, creative leadership, new technologies and unique solutions developed by practitioners, facility/infrastructure developers and owners. These groups represent Michigan engineers, developers and other professionals who have a focus and passion to create thriving Michigan communities.

The Michigan Infrastructure Conference offers attendees ample opportunity to obtain continuing education credits while gaining knowledge and networking with peers. It will also offer exposure to new products and services from various exhibitors. Anyone in government, business, industry or education with duties related to economic development and infrastructure planning, design and construction is encouraged to attend.

Energy/Emissions/InfrastructureWAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY

Traditional methods adopted for calculation of carbon footprint rely on many simplifying assumptions regarding the specific generator supplying the energy to the consumption point. However, evolving guidelines/regulations require a more focused evaluation of the emissions footprint of energy consumers. This session provides background regarding a new tool for this application. The tool has relevance to building energy management, water distribution system optimization, and a wide range of environmental applications.

Reuse/Redevelopment of Uncontrolled Landfill SitesSME

Reuse and redevelopment of uncontrolled landfill sites requires innovative infrastructure solutions with community and regulatory partnerships. This presentation will review environmental considerations associated with the reuse and redevelopment of four historic municipal landfill sites, including a municipal park, a minor league baseball stadium, a public safety training complex, and an airport. Topics will include methane management, storm water, preventing human contact with underlying waste, and structural considerations associated with building on landfills.

Asset Management Planning Update: Storm/Sanitary SystemsOHM ADVISORS

Michigan is currently spending $450 million to allow communities to evaluate their wastewater and stormwater assets. This program is revealing the state of our aging infrastructure, allowing communities to ‘look under the hood’ and evaluate their systems in ways they have previously been unable to do. This presentation will include examples of what has been found so far and what we need to restructure our utility funding mechanisms to guarantee long-term economic sustainability.

Sustainable Site Development: WMU Business, Technology and Research ParkFISHBECK, THOMPSON, CARR & HUBER

This presentation will focus on Western Michigan University’s Business, Technology and Research Park history, infrastructure and sustainable features that have made this park an attractive place to locate a business. WMU and Oshtemo Township have partnered to develop this next phase at an adjacent property. The BTR Park model demonstrates an example of how a balanced focus on sustainability’s triple bottom line can lead to a successful project.

Detroit’s (DWSD) Green Infrastructure ProgramTETRA TECH

The DWSD program was approved in 2010, and significantly accelerated in 2014 as the City is undergoing major change and full time resources have been dedicated to the program. The program needs to be relevant to the social context, help property owners/residents with their concerns, and make the City a place that attracts reinvestment. DWSD is looking to forge alliances with multiple partners and find new ways that green infrastructure can improve the urban landscape.

Utility Cut Repair: New ApproachesNTH CONSULTANTS

Work on subsurface utilities frequently involves cutting and repairing the pavement structures and often results in increases in pavement deterioration and user delay due to construction. To combat these consequences, several new and emerging methods are being utilized to decrease the costs of pavement repair and improve the pavement conditions. Such methods include precast concrete pavement, keyhole excavation and reinstatement, and infrared repair. This presentation details these methods and when they are best applied.
