Steel Penstocks (MOP 79) 

8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (Cascade II) 

This workshop will introduce recently completed revisions and 

updates to ASCE Manual of Practice (MOP) 79 Steel Penstocks. 

These revisions and updates were developed by nationally 

recognized industry experts who will be at the workshop 

presenting the changes to MOP 79. The original edition of 

MOP 79 was introduced in 1993 as a manual intended 

for engineers or designers with limited experience with steel 

penstocks. MOP 79 has become recognized by the industry 

(nationally and internationally) as one of the main references 

utilized when designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining 

steel penstocks. This revision is the result of more than four years 

of effort by the ASCE Pipeline Division Task Committee for the 

revision of MOP 79. 

Speakers from the task committee will present the details of 

the update, review the topics covered in the manual including 

materials, design criteria, above ground and buried conditions, 

tunnel liners, bifurcations, anchor blocks, appurtenances, 

corrosion prevention, welding, manufacture, installation, 

inspection and testing, start-up, documentation and certification,

John Bambei, P.E., M.ASCE 

ASCE Pipelines Division is pleased to 

present John Bambei, P.E., M.ASCE, with 

this year’s Stephen D. Bechtel Pipeline 

Engineering Award. Through his affiliation 

with the Denver Water Department and 

his many contributions to organizations 

such as ASCE and the American Water 

Works Association (AWWA) and its 

research foundation (AWWARF), John has 

contributed to the advancement of pipeline engineering in the 

fields of research, planning, design, and construction. 

A Sound Conduit for Sharing Solutions. REGISTER NOW! 

In 1991 John initiated the first meeting of owners from all parts of 

the country to evaluate and understand the issues related to largediameter 

pipe products experiencing catastrophic failures. This 

led to the formation of the Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe 

Users Group. John remains committed to the PCCP Users Group. 

He also chairs ASCE’s PLD Task Committee on the revision of 

Manual of Practice (MOP) 79, of which he was a founding 

member. John’s greatest volunteer contribution has been his 

work with the AWWA Standards Committee on Air Valves and 

Steel Pipe from 1986 to the present and the AWWA Standards 

Council, which is responsible for all AWWA standards, from 

2000 to 2006. John has authored many publications, most 

recently “Welded Steel Pipe Lap Joints – An Evolution” and 

“Design and Application of AWWA Steel Ring Flanges” which 

were presented at the ASCE Pipelines Conference in San Diego 

in 2009. 

GUEST SPEAKER: Greg Bennick 

TOPIC: Become the Change You 

Wish to See in the World 

See what juggling and engineering have 

in common! 

Greg Bennick’s life is entirely up in the air, 

and we feel that there is no better person 

to share ideas about getting involved with 

taking action and dealing with change than someone who battles 

gravity, balance, and perspective every time he takes the stage. 

In juggling, every toss is potentially perfect, but it is only through 

adjustments to approach and technique that mastery is gained. 

The same is true in engineering: an idea is refined and developed 

over time until perfection is achieved. With 20 years of experience 

juggling the widest possible variety of objects and ideas that 

immediately engage his audiences, Greg combines incredible 

juggling and audience participation to get his goal across.

mission in search of an enemy bomb making factory where you’ll 

be challenged by the rugged mountain terrain and enemy fighter 

jets at every turn. Or enjoy the X-Pilot-360 simulators as you take the 

controls for your choice of a smooth and easy ride or an exhilarating 

ride full of loops and rolls. In all, there are three classic WWII

SPEAKER: Amster 

Howard, M.ASCE, 

Pipelines Installation 

Expert 

TOPIC: The Inspector 

Will Be Here Next 

Tuesday 

A full-time, trained inspector 

is the key to a successful 

pipeline construction project. 

No computer program, PhD, 

CRM, CSI specification, 

or license will affect the 

outcome as much as the 

knowledge and mood of a 

pipeline inspector. Howard 

will give examples of the consequences of improper, or absent, 

inspection. 

From bell harness restraints on uncovered crossing pipelines to 

safety concerns that OSHA does not cover, a pipeline inspector 

should be trained in all aspects of pipeline installation. A 

knowledgeable inspector can prevent accidents and can save 

money. 

Howard is an internationally recognized pipeline installation expert 

specializing in the soil structure interaction of buried pipe. As a 

civil engineering consultant, he investigates pipeline failures and 

pipeline problems.

Seattle are REQUIRED to follow local fire regulations and may ask 

participants in rooms filled to capacity to choose another event.

Professional Development Hours (PDHs) 

You may earn up to 28 PDHs, which are nationally recognized 

units of record, by attending conference concurrent sessions and 

short courses. Please note there are differences from state to state 

in continuing education requirements for professional engineering 

licensure. Each state licensing board has the final authority to 

approve course, credits, PDHs, and other methods of earning credits 

in that state. ASCE strongly recommends that individuals regularly 

check with their state licensing boards for specific continuing 

education requirements in their jurisdictions that affect professional 

engineering licensure and the ability to renew licensure. 

Program and Session Cancellation 

ASCE reserves the right to cancel programs and/or sessions 

because of low registration. In the unlikely event of a cancellation, 

all registrants will be notified and will receive a full refund, if 

applicable. Programs and Sessions are subject to change, and 

ASCE reserves the right to substitute a program, session, and/or 

speaker of equal caliber to fulfill the educational requirements. 

Recording of Sessions 

Video or audio recording of any educational session is strictly 

prohibited without prior written permission from both ASCE and the 

session presenter(s).

hereby release any photographs that may be incidentally taken of 

me during these events by ASCE to be used for any purpose.

undertaking participation in ASCE events and activities at my 

own free and intentional act, and I am fully aware that possible 

physical injury might occur to me as a result of my participation. 

I give this acknowledgement freely and knowingly that I am, as a 

result, able to participate in ASCE events, and I do hereby assume 

responsibility for my own well being. I also agree not to allow any 

other individual to participate in my place.

your destination, so plan to arrive promptly as buses will leave on 

time. Tours are available on a first come, first serve basis and have
