Join us for an educational luncheon on Technical Specifications for Gravity CIPP Rehabilitation: Should You Stick with ASTM F1216 or Move to ASCE MOP 145?
For decades, the trenchless rehabilitation industry has relied on ASTM F1216 as the primary design and specification reference for Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) rehabilitation of gravity sewers in North America. However, after a newer structural design framework (i.e., ASCE MOP 145) was introduced in 2021, questions are emerging about whether the traditional F1216 approach remains sufficient for modern rehabilitation challenges. This presentation examines the practical implications of specifying CIPP designs using F1216 versus the newly introduced MOP 145. While ASTM F1216 provides a straightforward and familiar design method, it was originally developed for relatively ideal conditions and does not fully address challenges such as non-circular pipes, large deformations, significant defects, or significant variability in liner material properties. ASCE MOP 145 introduces a Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methodology that accounts for uncertainties in loads, material performance, and installation conditions. This approach allows more accurate and defensible liner designs while improving alignment between engineering expectations and contractor means and methods. This presentation provides practical guidance for Utility Owners, Engineers, and Contractors on when ASTM F1216 remains appropriate and when the enhanced framework of ASCE MOP 145 may offer better reliability. The session will walk through the procedural steps of both F1216 and MOP 145. Case studies and design comparisons will illustrate how both approaches can be applied to support informed specification and long-term performance of gravity sewer rehabilitation projects.
Presenter: Kay Awe
Kay is a Senior Trenchless Engineer at Stantec with technical expertise in structural design, geotechnical assessment, pipeline design, rehabilitation, failure analysis, and condition assessment. He is a registered professional engineer in Alberta & Ontario, and has worked on a wide range of trenchless projects across Canada and the US, utilizing cleaning and lining technologies for water/wastewater systems. Kay earned his PhD from the University of Waterloo and is very passionate about advancing the trenchless industry. He is actively involved in professional organizations through the ASCE/UESI Young Member Engagement Committee, NASTT Northwest Planning Committee, CUIIC Geotechnical Committee, and multiple AWWA pipe rehabilitation committees. He is also one of a few SMEs in North America currently contributing to the development of the first AWWA C623 CIPP Pressure Pipe Design Appendix.

The NASTT Mid-Atlantic Chapter invites industry professionals to join an evening of networking, learning, and connection with fellow members of the trenchless technology community. This event will feature a technical presentation by Jason Newman of JF Creamer & Sons, on Trenchless Rehabilitation Solutions for Water Pipelines and Rising Force Mains.
Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with peers from across the region while enjoying a relaxed, happy hour environment. The evening will include a buffet-style dinner, a cash bar for beer and wine, and plenty of time to engage with colleagues, exchange ideas, and build professional relationships. Whether you are looking to expand your knowledge, reconnect with industry partners, or meet new professionals in the trenchless community, this event provides a welcoming setting to do so.
Sponsorships available during the registration process!
Join us for an evening celebrating the Trenchless Industry with two of The Leading Industry Associations in the GTA!
The Great Lakes, St. Lawrence & Atlantic NASTT Chapter (GLSLA) and the Canadian Underground Infrastructure Innovation Centre (CUIIC) welcome their members and associates out for a mixer Wednesday March 4th from 5:30 – 7:30PM.
The Mixer is free to attend for CUIIC and NASTT’s GLSLA Chapter members as well as attendees of The CUIIC Spring Summit taking place the same week at The Mississauga Grand. The mixer will cap off the Tunneling/Microtunneling day of the course. Non-members of either group are welcome to attend for a small registration fee of $20 CAD. Please choose the non-member option. The Trenchless Mixer will support both groups, and sponsorship support is greatly appreciated! We’re looking for strong industry allies to help us with this, you can do so by choosing the Trenchless Mixer Sponsor option below. As a sponsor, you’ll be recognized through all Mixer Marketing, as well as in the on-site guide distributed at The CUIIC Spring Summit. All Mixer Sponsors will receive the final mixer attendee list the following day.
Join us for a FREE half-day seminar on trenchless technology featuring industry insights, case studies, and practical applications from municipal leaders and trenchless professionals. Hear directly from City of Oklahoma City and City of Norman as they share real-world project experiences, lessons learned, and strategies for successful underground infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement.
This educational event is ideal for municipal staff, engineers, contractors, consultants, and anyone involved in underground utility management. Attendees will gain valuable knowledge on current trenchless methods, project planning considerations, cost efficiencies, and innovative solutions that minimize surface disruption.
Join us for an educational luncheon on the Capital Line Storm Storage Tunnel project is part of the early works scope for the Capital Line South LRT Extension.
The Capital Line Storm Storage Tunnel project is part of the early works scope for the Capital Line South LRT Extension. The project includes a construction of a 1000m3 capacity storm storage tunnel for groundwater and surface drainage, along with a lift station and forcemain that discharges stormwater to the existing trunk along 23 Avenue. Design of the tunnel required the future LRT underpass to drain into a gravity tunnel beneath and drop into a storage tunnel to be pumped out at low flow periods. This presentation will go through the process of the design decisions which pushed the tunnel and lift station to depths exceeding 20m, also the tunnels storage volume and various connections needed. Construction challenges will be reviewed as well as lessons learned from the work.
Presenter: Chris Lamont, C.E.T, P.Eng
