Recorded Webinar: Conduits, Culverts, and Pipes

This 60-minute recorded webinar course builds upon the foundational principles of conduit and culvert design by focusing on long-term performance, life cycle design, material selection, installation, and cost evaluation. Delivered by a licensed professional engineer and subject matter expert, this session explores practical considerations for the use of various conduit types in dam and levee systems, with an emphasis on reinforced concrete and corrugated metal pipe (CMP).

The course emphasizes life cycle design and maintenance-driven thinking, helping engineers make informed decisions about material suitability, environmental constraints, and load-bearing performance. It includes a discussion of jointing systems, bedding and backfill techniques, structural loading concerns, and regulatory standards.

Upon completion of the course video and ten (10) question quiz, you’ll earn 1 PDH credit.
