2025.2.25 - Tryg Hoff Presentation
On Tuesday February 25th, our monthly technical meeting will be at the VDOT Staunton District Office for a 12pm lunch and learn. Plenty of free parking is available. The VDOT address is: 811 Commerce Drive, Staunton, VA 24401.
This month's technical meeting is being sponsored by and presented by the American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA). Mr. Tryg Hoff from the ACPA (and ASCE / BRB Board Member) has graciously agreed to provide the lunches for our meeting, but also to share more about the ACPA. His presentation is entitled "Undeniably Sustainable: Proven Resilient.
Abstract: Resilience stands as the bedrock of sustainable infrastructure, ensuring longevity and adaptability amid mounting challenges. In the face of climate change, natural disasters, and manmade disasters, resilient systems can withstand shocks, recover swiftly, and continue functioning efficiently. Integrating resilient designs, materials, and strategies safeguards investments, and while minimizing environmental impact. After all, specifying a resilient product that will remain in use for 100+ years is significantly more sustainable than using one that must be remade and replaced multiple times.
