IECA Pacific Northwest Virtual Connection: Knowledge Gained from Construction Phasing

  • Registration Closed

Hosted by the IECA Pacific Northwest Chapter and IECA Region One and Sponsored by: Trexiana - Manufacturer of Flex MSE

This event offers 3 on-demand, one hour presentations on Construction Phasing in the Pacific Northwest. Case studies will be presented from varying locations in Idaho, Oregon and Washington – managing different climates, soils and scales of the project will all be discussed. Each case study provides lessons learned and knowledge for future projects that will be shared with attendees. 

Presentations included in this Virtual Connection: 

  • Concurrent versus Sequential Phasing: Lessons Learned from Large Fill Projects with Dave Jenkins
  • Construction Phase Strategy Comparison of Idaho Desert and Mountain Projects with Adam Lyman
  • Good Initiative Bad Judgement with Travis A. Riehl

Concurrent versus Sequential Phasing: Lessons Learned from Large Fill Projects
Select the "View On-Demand Recording" button to begin.
Select the "View On-Demand Recording" button to begin. This presentation, we will explore two case studies in Seattle Washington. The first case study will examine failures in a 1997 construction at the Port of Seattle for a 50-acre employee parking lot. Because the project start was delayed until late summer, significant earthwork occurred in late fall, the beginning of Seattle’s wet season. The contractor sequentially phased the work and the project became a case study in failure. The second case study will examine the change in technique that has led to success in construction phasing. Knowledge gained from the 1997 case study has led to the concurrent phasing concept that has enabled subsequent fill projects, including a 500-acre, 17 million cubic yard embankment project, to successfully achieve compliance during the wettest months of the year.
Construction Phase Strategy Comparison of Idaho Desert and Mountain Projects
Select the "View On-Demand Recording" button to begin.
Select the "View On-Demand Recording" button to begin. Sponsored by Syman, LLC - During this presentation, we will examine two projects in extremely different parts of Idaho. Both projects disturb many acres with tall, steep cuts and fills providing their own unique challenges. Our first case study will look at a large land development constructed in the rolling hills north of Boise Idaho with about 1.7 miles of hillside roadway. The soil and climate provided additional challenges to this project, the soil was sandy loam & clay loam with the climate being semi-arid, receiving about 12 inches of rain and 11 inches of snow each year. Our second case study is a project is about 2 hours north, just west of McCall Idaho. This project was a widening and re-construction of about 3.75 miles of forest service road. With a longer and wetter winter season, this project provided new challenges with an averages 23 inches of rain and 105 inches of snow annually. The soil was mostly clayey soil and rock. We will discuss erosion control approaches that focus on the transition from summer to winter weather and the preparation at both sites. We will discuss lessons learned, knowledge gained and strategies for improving erosion control results and winter and spring maintenance. To conclude, we will have the opportunity to discuss and compare differences between approaches at the two sites.
Good Initiative Bad Judgement. The Best and Worst Management Practices (BMP's) for erosion and sediment control in the Pacific Northwest.

Select the "View On-Demand Recording" button to begin. Sponsored by ACF West Inc. - The Best and Worst Management Practices (BMP's) for erosion and sediment control in the Pacific Northwest. We will look through multiple successes and failures in erosion and sediment control practices in the Pacific Northwest. Our shared objective is to be better prepared for the challenges our projects face and to utilize the best tools to keep your project compliant.
