CALTAP is hosting an online training class on fugitive dust and how minimizing it can reduce the impact of construction projects on the environment and air quality.
Reducing the environmental impacts of construction projects contributes to sustainability and will positively impact climate change. Reducing the carbon footprint, the amount of particulates emitted into the atmosphere, and minimizing the impacts on the habitat environment are among the most important measures for increasing sustainability and minimizing climate change.
Fugitive Dust Mitigation is the first in a series of Sustainable Engineering Training Academy (SETA) modules specifically designed for transportation and construction engineers, planners, and project managers to identify and reduce the environmental impacts of construction projects and roadway development. Seating is limited to maximize training interactivity.
Learning objectives for this course include:
- Understanding the nature & importance of fugitive dust
- Identifying common sources of fugitive dust released during construction
- Understanding how fugitive dust release is quantified
- Calculating total fugitive dust emissions from a construction project
- Discovering mitigation strategies, processes, & applications
Features & benefits of attending:
- Understanding construction phases, equipment, & sources of fugitive dust
- Reducing the environmental impact of fugitive dust, from planning to implementation
This course is best suited for:
- Industry professionals involved in securing, planning, and implementing construction projects and mitigating their environmental impact
- Engineering students interested in understanding and mitigating airborne particulates released during construction operations
Course instructors/presenters:
- Hamid Rahai, Professor/Director, Center for Energy & Environmental Research & Services, CSULB
- David Khorram, Superintendent of Building & Safety, Long Beach Development Services
- Ken Taylor, Design Manager, Griffith Company
- Auston Cho, Construction Manager, Port of Long Beach
- David Tran, Sr Civil Engineer, Port of Long Beach
