Civil engineers and site planners are increasingly confronted with too much or too little water. Municipalities and water authorities are seeking new Low Impact Development (LID) techniques to prevent flooding and contamination by capturing and reusing water onsite. But if these new techniques cost more, how can the near-term and lifecycle costs be justified? And who benefits the most?

On July 18th at 2:00 pm EST, please join our panel webinar for perspectives from many sides of the table.

  • Matt Metzger from Barr Engineering and John Wise from Stantec will share their experience with new approaches to project economic analysis, especially Triple Bottom Line Cost Benefit Analysis (TBL-CBA), to help inform design choices.
  • Kyle Knickerbocker from the San Antonio River Authority will reflect on how TBL-CBA is shaping the direction of projects in his area of the southwest.
  • Terry Bennett from Autodesk will present a view on the process and technical challenges and benefits of integrating design and business case tools, and
  • John Williams from Impact Infrastructure, the developers of Autocase for Sites, will moderate.

Lessons learned and emerging best practices will be reviewed based on experience from completed projects that engaged TBL-CBA to advise design direction. Tools, like Autocase, that simplify economic analysis, will also be discussed.
