How Cities are Re-Engineering their Stormwater Future
As increasingly severe storm events place greater pressure on cities and utilities, resilience strategies are evolving. This session explores approaches that combine high-capacity flood pumping, flood-proof pump station design, and green infrastructure such as retention parks, bioswales, and permeable streetscapes. Attendees will also learn how Flygt stormwater solutions can optimize station design, support operations during storms, and help reduce construction and O&M costs.
11:45 AM–12:30 PM | ITT Mixing Solutions
Mixing Mythbusters: Separating Fact from Fiction
Mixing is science, not magic. This session takes on common myths surrounding gearbox design and impeller selection and explains why those differences matter for performance, reliability, and lifecycle cost. Learn what sets mixer, gearbox, and impeller designs apart and what to consider when evaluating solutions.
1:45–2:30 PM | M.E. Simpson Co., Inc.
Pipeline Condition Assessment and Maintenance with Innovative Technologies
Aging infrastructure, tighter budgets, and a shrinking workforce make accurate and effective pipeline assessment increasingly important. M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. will share examples of innovative technologies used for condition assessment and maintenance in water and wastewater utility systems, including tools that can help utilities prioritize pipelines for replacement or rehabilitation and strategically plan future projects.
