2008 Road Design Conference Designing for Society: Knowledge, Innovation & Sustainability Spokane October 7 th -9 th Washington State CRAB – Board Meeting October 24 th, 2008

2008 Road Design Conference The Road Design Conference primary objective is to provide a venue for counties to be exposed to new technology know how and innovation on a variety of topics of interest to project managers, designers, surveyors, CADD and support personnel.

This year's theme; Designing for Society: Knowledge, Innovation, & Sustainability showcased presentations on how to not only meet today’s increasing standards of practice but to advance county’s thinking, bring back the originality and to promote sustainable use of resources.

2008 Road Design Conference Agenda - Day One Presentations focused on new, innovative technologies currently being developed along with presentations offering solutions to challenges that are low-cost as well as sustainable.

2008 Road Design Conference Accelerated Bridge Construction Dr. Charles Roeder U of W Engineering Professor Washington State Transportation Research Center (TRAC).

2008 Road Design Conference  Modern Reinforced Soil Technology

2008 Road Design Conference Agenda - Day Two Consisted of technical breakout presentations in two separate gatherings. 1. The morning presentations featured topics from county transportation professionals. 2. The afternoon featured design system demos from all the major software company's that the counties utilize.

2008 Road Design Conference First off we had presentations prepared by a variety of County personnel from around the state.

2008 Road Design Conference  George Luft, Pend Oreille County. Lower West Branch Priest River ConSpan Bridge. George presented on this successful design and construction project of a Con- Span Bridge/Culvert.

2008 Road Design Conference  Jim Caldwell, Cowlitz County. Jim demonstrated how Cowlitz County utilizes their design software for project production.

2008 Road Design Conference Kelly Boyd, Pierce County CAD/CAE Support Engineer. Kelly Boyd, Pierce County CAD/CAE Support Engineer. Kelly illustrated processes in Civil3D on how Pierce County Public Works Department have set up their styles and cad standards to handle their workflow.

2008 Road Design Conference  Jim McLefresh, Spokane County GPS Survey Technician. Jim demonstrated his County’s innovative way on how they assemble survey field data into “Design Ready Drawings” before sending then to design.

2008 Road Design Conference  Brad Hofman, Snohomish County CADD Systems Administrator. Brad showcased his county’s CAD program workflow and their Asset and Maintenance Management System project.

2008 Road Design Conference Agenda - Day Three We attempted something different this year to meet the needs of the counties per their evaluations from the previous year; Software Vendor User Group/Computer lab/Classroom Training

2008 Road Design Conference  They wanted an opportunity to sit down with representatives from various software vendors of their choice, in an unconstrained format to discuss any and all design software issues challenging their offices.

2008 Road Design Conference This year we procured the most diverse & largest group of vendors ever at our conference including; Softree, PacifiCAD, Carlson, Autodesk, Soil Nail Launcher, Eagle Point, ESM Consulting Engineers, Ideate, Coral Sales, Bentley, Portland Precision Instruments.

2008 Road Design Conference In addition to the Conference Agenda

We held our 3 rd Project Design Competition Goal : For Counties to display their projects featuring innovative engineering ideas in visual exhibits highlighting;  Unique designs  Difficult sites to mitigate.  Challenging terrain models.  Innovative Engineering details.  In final Deliverable format. A way to transfer technology so that other counties can gain from their knowledge and innovative ideas for their own plans & specs.

2008 Road Design Conference  This year’s winner, as voted on by their peer’s, was: Douglas County for their McNeil Canyon Road Project

2008 Road Design Conference “The RDC Traveling Trophy”

2008 Road Design Conference In addition we also provided:  Two Socials events.  A plated banquet dinner.  Tuesday Software Forum/ Hospitality Suite  Annual RDC Golf Tournament

2008 Road Design Conference What did we learn from the County evaluations?

2008 Road Design Conference What did we learn from the County evaluations? They want more hands on training like we featured the last day.

2008 Road Design Conference What did we learn from the County evaluations? They want more hands on training like we featured the last day. And More Design Topics! And More Design Topics!

2008 Road Design Conference This years attendance was well over 100 which was up over 10% from last year’s attendance. This was a successful conference in light of the current county budgets and with the increase in conference fee.

2008 Road Design Conference But what we have learned the most from these conferences after 19 years, is the hidden value for the county designers, surveyors, drafters, etc…which is being able to network amongst their peers, in a venue conducive to their everyday duties, which for some, is a once a year occurrence…and that’s priceless!

THANK YOU
