This presentation will give attendees a new appreciation for how they can avoid being overwhelmed by the ever-expanding and never-ending onslaught of technical, product, and performance specifications that flow our way when it comes time to getting something fixed within their wastewater collection system. They come to us by way of e-mail, voice messages, social media, conferences (just like this one), word-of-mouth, your Uncle Billy (a pipe sales guy for several years), websites, your local engineer, vendors, professional associations, trainers, and the like. This session is intended to make this task of developing your own technical electronic library of coherent, comprehensive, and easily understood  specifications for most small-to-midsized communities, cities, and wastewater agencies. Best of all, such a sensible approach can result in a full specs that will be used over-and-over again on virtually any pipeline renewal or rehabilitation project with only a little bit of annual “maintenance” to keep them current with the ever-changing world of trenchless technology.

Learning Objectives:

1. Develop a single set of bid-ready specifications, work orders, and even purchase orders for both scheduled and emergency repairs for renewing and rehabilitating buried pipeline infrastructure

2. See the value of using such a strategy and approach, and-give you confidence that these specifications along with related means-and-methods are ultimately implemented for your sewer renewal program

3. Find such an approach useful, uncomplicated, and leave some time and money at the end of the day
