Cold Regions Utility Systems
Alaska’s utility infrastructure, set in a harsh physical and climatic environment, faces further challenges as climate change destabilizes support systems and renders old solutions less effective. ASCE’s Cold Regions Engineering Division (CRED) is working to update the industry standard – the Cold Regions Utilities Monograph – to address these issues in Alaska and other cold regions. This talk will describe the challenges ahead for our infrastructure, and the work currently underway to align ASCE’s practice standard to the emerging realities in the north
