Traditional arterial reconstruction can involve significant surveying, engineering, and exploratory testing. This is common in the engineering disciplines largely because it works, is familiar, and provides margins for error. Glendale, Arizona, has assembled a multi-disciplined team of staff from engineering, transportation, and water services to advance the Arterial Reconstruction Program (ARP) at an accelerated pace. The group’s focus collectively is to plan, prioritize, sequence, and coordinate the execution of ARP projects. INVATION is t commonly found in this area of infrastructure asset management, as heavy civil construction associated with these systems is steeped in tradition. To underscore the magnitude of this statement, the design engineer was subjected to review by the Arizona Board of Technical Registration for essentially breaking with tradition. The standard of care the board uses determines if the design professional is engaging in design solutions that are common in the industry in the region. The result of that effort was that the board found in favor of the design engineer and essentially recognized the INVATION as blazing a new trail that would save taxpayers substantially and generationally. After this session, participants will be able to:
• Reconsider tried and true methods for project design and execution.
• Articulate how rewarding invation encourages structural and generational solutions to asset management.
• Develop specific project management skills that support cost savings and reduced impact on neighborhoods and commercial corridors.
