Sponsored by the Task Committee on Direct Steerable Pipe Thrusting of the Committee on Trenchless Installation of Pipelines of the Utility Engineering & Surveying Institute of ASCEDirect Steerable Pipe Thrusting details how engineers and construction professionals can utilize the Direct Steerable Pipe Thrusting (DSPT) method, also known as Direct Pipe, a relatively recent innovation in the trenchless pipeline installation industry, which combines characteristics of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and conventional microtunneling to design and install pipelines in ground conditions that would be challenging for other trenchless methods.Topics includeHistory of DSPT;Overview of the DSPT method;Parameters that should be considered when determining the applicability and constructability of a potential DSPT project;Guidance on how to conduct site investigations that are critical to the DSPT process;Design process involved in the DSPT installation method, pulling techniques from both HDD and microtunneling;Installation stresses, evaluation, considerations, and calculations;Contract documents and forms, delivery methods, and potential legal issues associated with DSPT projects; andOverview of the construction phase of DSPT installations.MOP 155 provides information on the DSPT method and serves as a contribution to the DSPT engineering practice to benefit engineers, owners, contractors, equipment manufacturers, and other project and industry stakeholders.

Codified Leadership draws from research and evidence-based practices to provide every school leader – regardless of their experience – with authentic opportunities to improve and transform them into the very best leader. It breaks down complex leadership behaviours into manageable steps that can be used for both self and peer instructional coaching.Exploring the real and significant challenges school leaders face every day, Section 1 considers overarching complex and nuanced leadership concepts such as trust, adaptability, clarity, and vision, providing insights into the nature and purpose of school leadership at all levels. Section 2 breaks down day-to-day tasks such as leading meetings, giving staff feedback, making decisions, and setting expectations to help leaders develop the habits and behaviours they need to lead their staff and schools effectively. Throughout, the chapters spotlight three school leaders who solve relatable problems by being deliberate and purposeful in their leadership actions.Codified Leadership is key reading for both primary and secondary level leaders looking to promote excellence in themselves and those they work with. If you want to understand how successful leaders work – the signals they transmit, the language they speak, and repeated actions they take – this is the ideal guide for you.
