Dallas Goes Trenchless
Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) has stopped relying solely on traditional open-cut trenching methods. Instead, we look to trenchless technologies to minimize costs and disruption to the public....
An Ocean Engineering Program for the 21st Century
An increasing number of technological changes will occur during the next decade, and many of these changes will significantly impact engineering education programs, especially in the field...
Small Utility GIS
Geographic information systems are revolutionizing much of the civil engineering field, providing engineers and managers with a new tool to relate databases and maps. But despite the benefits...
Managing for Profit
Clients hire firms today for their ability to manage, not just design and draw. Project managers must address owner requirements for cost, quality and schedule. The three are inseparable....
Evaluating Advanced Technologies for Acid Rain Compliance
Technological innovation in emissions control of acid rain precursors has made possible increasingly stringent control requirements for coal-fired power plants. A key challenge for potential...
40Ar/?9Ar Laser Fusion and K-Ar Ages From Lathrop Wells, Nevada, and Cima, California: The Age of the Latest Volcanic Activity in the Yucca Mountain Area
K-Ar and 40Ar/39Ar ages from the Lathrop Wells volcanic center, Nevada, and from the Cima volcanic field,...
Design Reviews From a Regulatory Perspective
This paper presents views on the role of the licensing engineer in the design process with specific emphasis on design reviews and the automated information management tools that support...
Developing an Education Program for Schools on Radioactive Waste Management
United Kingdom Nirex Limited is responsible for the development of a deep disposal facility for Britain's solid low and intermediate-level radioactive wastes. In line with...
Public Education, Public Confidence, and Public Acceptance of Radioactive Waste Management Facilities
This paper critically examines the conventional assumption that public opposition is a function of public illiteracy and emotionalism by reviewing recent articles on radioactive waste...
Evaluation of Geoscientific Information Systems for Three-Dimensional Ground-Water Modeling, Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Fully three-dimensional representations of the geologic system at Yucca Mountain have been developed using a Geoscientific Information System, which is an expansion of a traditional Geographic...
The Oregon Experiment: Public Information and Involvement
Oregon is neighbor to the Hanford Nuclear Site that now has the nation's largest store of radioactive waste. Oregon supports Hanford cleanup, which will require waste transport...
The Licensing Support System (LSS): Who Should Operate it and Will it Work?
The development of the mammoth Licensing Support System (LSS), a management information system intended to handle documentation relevant to the licensing application of the DOE for the...
The Licensing Support System: Institutional Challenges and Opportunities
The Licensing Support System (LSS) is an electronic information management system which will be used in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) review of the Department...
A Decision Support System for Performance-Based Site Characterization
The complex and dynamic requirements of site characterization present a major management challenge. ParaTrac, a regulatory and technical information system, is described as a valuable...
Building a Geographic Information System (GIS) for Siting New York City Sludge Management Facilities
Siting studies for waste facilities usually focus on a particular geographic region, or a defined study area, and are restricted to a specific technology. However, the siting of land-based...
A GIS for the Louisiana Coastal Zone
The U. S. Army Engineer District, New Orleans is responsible for collecting, interpreting, and publishing large amounts of data related to engineering geology, subsidence, and land loss...
Application of GIS to the Planning and Preliminary Design of the Vancouver Island Highway
