This course includes three pre-recorded sessions of a presentation delivered in April, 2014. Additionally, the course provides a supplemental prologue to the recorded sessions.
- Prologue – Overview of the SPR
- Session 1 - How SPR Streamlines Business Process by Leveraging Sharepoint and K2
- Session 2 – Harahan Pump to the River Project
- Session 3 - The Longest Bridge in the West: Design and Construction of the John James Audubon Bridge
The prologue is a PDF document, which provides background on the purpose and history of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). You’ll learn the events that precipitated the formation of the SPR, as well as events that have required the U.S. government to drawdown the SPR on more than one occasion. You’ll also learn why the SPR stores oil in salt domes, and how artificial caverns are formed in the salt domes.
In the first session, you’ll learn how the Strategic Petroleum Reserve’s Project Management Office (PMO) uses Sharepoint and K2 Workflow software to streamline business processes. The Project Management Office, based outside of New Orleans, LA, is responsible for carrying out the operational aspects of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve's mission. The PMO oversees the day-to-day operations of the major crude oil storage sites and logistical facilities for the nation's emergency oil stockpile.
Session 2 provides an overview of the Harahan Pump to the River Project, located in Jefferson Parish – a suburb of New Orleans, LA. In response to extensive damage caused by 2 major rain storms in November '89 and May '95, the U.S. Congress authorized the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project (SELA) in November '95. As a part of the remediation of the flooding problem, the Harahan Pump to the River project came into being. This ambitious project will take 1200 CFS of rain water from head waters of the Soniat Canal and pump it to the Mississippi River.
Session 3 provides an overview of the John James Audubon Bridge project. The John James Audubon Bridge, completed and opened in 2011, is a Mississippi River crossing between Pointe Coupee and West Feliciana parishes in south central Louisiana. The bridge has the longest stay cable span in the Western Hemisphere.
This is a video recording of a live seminar held April 4, 2014 as a part of the 2014 Tulane Engineering Forum, and is offered exclusively by PDHengineer by special arrangement with engineering alumni of Tulane University and the Tulane School of Science and Engineering. This valuable information is presented by the following esteemed speakers:
- John O’Brien, Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Project Management Office
- Kazem Alikhani, P.E., Director of Public Works, Jefferson Parish Government
- Paul Fossier, P.E., F.ASCE, Audubon Bridge Constructors
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain why Gulf Coast salt domes were selected for Strategic Petroleum Reserve storage and how artificial storage caverns are formed.
- Evaluate electronic workflow and SharePoint practices used to improve document control, data management, and collaboration in project operations.
- Analyze the flood-control design considerations, conveyance challenges, and hurricane-operability requirements of the Harahan Pump-to-the-River project.
- Assess the scope, construction sequence, pier design, and staged superstructure behavior of the John James Audubon Bridge project.
Video on Demand
This course is a recorded version of a live lecture and will be streamed directly to your computer's media player. Our format is generally compatible with media players included with all computers and mobile devices. After watching the video presentation, you will return to your account to take the online quiz. While this is a recording of a live presentation, please note that this recording will not qualify as a "live" or "interactive" continuing education activity in those jurisdictions where it is required.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
