Waterproofing Membrane For Concrete Boxes And Culverts, Keith Alan Lytton P.E., Jeremy Hunter P.E.
Waterproofing Membrane For Concrete Boxes And Culverts, Keith Alan Lytton P.E., Jeremy Hunter P.E.
Purdue Road School
In 2019 a new INDOT Specification went into effect for waterproofing on concrete pipes and three- and four-sided boxes. The new specification decreased the leakage at these structures joints from 95% to less than 5%. This presentation will provide the background on why the change was needed and the solution, complete with construction examples and results.
The Future State Of Mobility, Jerome Quandt
The Future State Of Mobility, Jerome Quandt
Purdue Road School
Formed in 2018, the Illinois Autonomous Vehicles Association (ILAVA) is a privately funded non-for-profit organization focused on establishing thought leadership in the state of Illinois, by identifying and addressing the current and emerging opportunities related to the inevitable growth of CAV technologies throughout the transportation network. Through the deployment of scalable and sustainable business solutions, facilitating industry education and establishing thought leadership, ILAVA is creating an ecosystem that defines Illinois as #TheFutureStateofMobility.
Uas Based Methodology For Measuring Glide Slope Angles Of Airport Precision Approach Path Indicators (Papi), Yi-Chun Lin, Seyyed Meghdad Hasheminasab, John L. Bullock, Deborah Horton, Adam Baxmayer, Ayman Habib, Darcy M. Bullock
Uas Based Methodology For Measuring Glide Slope Angles Of Airport Precision Approach Path Indicators (Papi), Yi-Chun Lin, Seyyed Meghdad Hasheminasab, John L. Bullock, Deborah Horton, Adam Baxmayer, Ayman Habib, Darcy M. Bullock
Purdue Road School
This session presents alternative approaches for using unmanned aerial systems for checking the alignment of precision approach path indicators (PAPI lights). UAS data acquired at the KLAF (Purdue) airport will be used as an illustrative example.
Strategies And How-Tos On Interstate Closures For Mot, Jim Poturalski, Eryn Fletcher
Strategies And How-Tos On Interstate Closures For Mot, Jim Poturalski, Eryn Fletcher
Purdue Road School
Full interstate closures have proven to be an effective method for balancing congestion and safety when maintaining interstate infrastructure. This presentation will describe successful practices, federal requirements, and the process to follow when closing an interstate for maintenance.
Advancing Asset Management At Indot, Louis Feagans
Advancing Asset Management At Indot, Louis Feagans
Purdue Road School
As INDOT continues to develop Asset Management, the use of GIS and the mapping of assets become more critical. In this session INDOT will show the advancement in GIS Asset Management that has occurred in the last few years and where we are headed in the future.
Pitfalls Of Interchange Designs: Observations Relating To Idm Chapter 48, Joiner Lagpacan, Mark D. Orton
Pitfalls Of Interchange Designs: Observations Relating To Idm Chapter 48, Joiner Lagpacan, Mark D. Orton
Purdue Road School
This session covers common challenges found on freeway interchange designs here in Indiana. We will go over in detail common pitfalls observed from performing multiple design reviews and problems with designs that do not conform to the still-new Indiana Design Manual (IDM) Chapter 48, “Interchanges.” We will also offer conventional design solutions and alternatives to address these issues and challenges.
A Railroad Runs Through It - Bass Road/Hadley Road Roundabout, Mike Maurovich, Craig Shroyer
A Railroad Runs Through It - Bass Road/Hadley Road Roundabout, Mike Maurovich, Craig Shroyer
Purdue Road School
It’s not often you find a railroad intersecting a roundabout, which makes the Bass-Hadley Roundabout in the City of Fort Wayne a unique intersection with a story you have to hear! We will discuss the design and challenges of the design process; the incorpo-ration of a pedestrian trail; the construction process and its challenges; and now that the intersection is open and operating, a status of how well it is functioning.
Regulating 5g Installations, Bradley Pease
Regulating 5g Installations, Bradley Pease
Purdue Road School
In this session we will discuss regulation of the deployment of 5G small-cell equipment within local right-of-way.
Relinquishment And Reconstruction Of Sr 44—Franklin, Indiana, Trent Newport, Mark Richards
Relinquishment And Reconstruction Of Sr 44—Franklin, Indiana, Trent Newport, Mark Richards
Purdue Road School
This project involved the downtown section of SR 44, which was relinquished by INDOT to the City of Franklin. Reconstruction was funded through a relinquishment agreement, feder-al-aid funding applications, and local monies. It was a total reconstruction project of over $13 million, built in nine phases over a 4-year span. The project passes through the heart of downtown historic and business districts. This presentation will review all of the coordination and challenges of the project.
Innovation: Field-Driven Ideas For Improvement, Todd A. May
Innovation: Field-Driven Ideas For Improvement, Todd A. May
Purdue Road School
INDOT has set up its new Department of Innovation. The goal of the Department is to collect, vet, implement, and recognize ideas, processes, and tools specifically generated by the workforce in the field, such as construction, maintenance, contracting, and inspection. Through a peer review vetting process, ideas will be worked through a systems theory/engineer-ing process for ultimate statewide implementa-tion. Join us for a discussion
2d Hydraulic Modeling For Streambank Stabilization In The White River, Nabil Ghalayini
2d Hydraulic Modeling For Streambank Stabilization In The White River, Nabil Ghalayini
Purdue Road School
As part of the new I-69 design in Morgan County, INDOT retained WSP USA to provide streambank stabilization design services for the White River. This presentation will discuss how 1D and 2D hydraulic modeling helped refine the design and include visuals to demonstrate how 1D and 2D models can help establish flow di-rection velocities at riverbanks and around pro-posed structures. A comparison of results from 1D and 2D model results will also be presented
Recent Changes To Indot Sign Specs, Lalit M. Garg
Recent Changes To Indot Sign Specs, Lalit M. Garg
Purdue Road School
This presentation highlights recent changes to INDOT's standard specifications and standard drawings regarding traffic signs and structures.
Michigan's Inventory-Based Rating System For Unpaved Roads, Peter Torola
Michigan's Inventory-Based Rating System For Unpaved Roads, Peter Torola
Purdue Road School
The current rating systems for unpaved roads lack stability and reliability and, therefore, provide little benefit as project- or network-level metrics. Since many of these systems are derived from paved-road assessment systems, they focus heavily on surface distresses rather than road width, drainage, and other features. This session presents the Inventory-Based Rating System as a stable and implementable method of condition assessment for unpaved roads, without the focus on surface distresses.
22nd Street Reconstruction, City Of Elwood, Indiana, Haseeb Ghumman, William Savage, Darren Paarkes
22nd Street Reconstruction, City Of Elwood, Indiana, Haseeb Ghumman, William Savage, Darren Paarkes
Purdue Road School
This project involved full-depth reconstruction of 22nd Street, from P Street to Main Street, for an approximate distance of 1 mile and entailed a two-lane roadway with curb and gutter, new sidewalks, a storm system, and water and sanitary line relocations. In addition to federal funds, due to Red Gold’s investment commit-ments in the area and subsequent potential economic development, the project was awarded up to $1.4M in an Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) grant. Join us for a discussion.
