WEBINAR
RCP in Infrastructure
Thursday, September 25th | 1pm – 2pm CT
Description
Unfortunately, many of us have recently been inundated with more extreme weather events every year, a trend that does not appear to be changing in our near future. Our buried infrastructure takes the brunt of these beatings and must continue to serve with strength and resilience under extreme circumstances. This webinar will look at the patterns and trends of both the increased burden placed on our buried infrastructure as well as how some designs and installations have changed over the past decade, a combination that may lead to increasing complications down the road. RCP has been and continues to be the benchmark for strong resilient installations. This webinar will highlight why it has proven to be the material of choice for critical locations and how a safe, conservative approach may be the best choice for our future.
