Details
TRB conducted a webinar on Monday, January 30, 2017 from 2:00 to 3:30PM ET that featured research from National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 14-26: Culvert and Storm Drain System Inspection Manual.*

The NCHRP manual updates the 1986 Federal Highway Administration’s Culvert Inspection Manual and reflects industry changes, such as new pipe types, culvert design for alternate uses, evaluation of storm drains, and advanced inspection techniques.

A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who registered and attended the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar.

*Note: The report will be printed as an AASHTO manual. TRB has no oversight over the publication date.

Here are the slides from the presentations.
