On Friday, October 11, the Berkeley Center for Smart Infrastructure, in collaboration with East Bay Municipal Utility District and Carollo, hosted a workshop focusing on building and testing hazard-resilient pipeline systems. More than 80 participants came together to discuss innovative strategies for planning, designing, and recovering from various hazards associated with permanent ground deformation. This event provided a unique opportunity to explore advanced solutions aimed at strengthening the resilience of our critical infrastructure. With the Center’s innovative research and the combined expertise of utilities and industry partners, the workshop fostered collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and actionable insights.
