    A non-profit organization.

    Local chapters are not authorized

    to speak for The Society.

  • PRESIDENT'S CORNEROV ID IU MURESAN , CPD , LEED AP

    As many of you know, the 2018 ASPE National Convention will

    be in Atlanta. It is going to be a lot of work for our chapter.  If

    you’re willing to help please contact Harry Schnirring our

    committee chair.

    We are in the process of changing the CVENT registration

    system with a web based system by StarChapter. Until the end

    of the year we will run both systems in parallel to avoid any

    disturbance. There is a good progress in implementing the new

    system.

    The Board is continuing the program to help young

    professionals join ASPE. If you’re a young professional

    plumbing engineer and you want to join ASPE please let me

    know we may be able to help.

    Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions at

    [email protected].

    Please, email me directly with any questions and/or

    suggestions and I’ll try to answer them. If some of the topics

    become hot items we’ll have an open forum, and discuss them

    at our monthly meetings.

    Thanks,

    Ovi Muresan CPD, LEED AP

    May 23rd is our last monthly meeting of the 2016-2017

    year. Please plan to attend and vote for the new board.

    During the months of Summer, the board will continue to

    meet every month to plan the 2017-2018 ASPE Atlanta

    Chapter events. There is a long list: monthly meetings,

    Golf outing, ASPE Technical Symposium, Product Show,

    Skeet Shoot and others.

    It was distributed by ASPE in one of their regular membership e-

    mail contacts. These are very informative and give insight into NSF

    certifications and their relationship to plumbing codes and

    standards engineers and contractors use everyday. Be on the

    lookout for these documents and other news from Society in your

    e-mailbox.

    In our last program of the year, we will hear a presentation about

    special materials used  in specific applications. Our presentation

    will explore stainless steel drainage systems for food and beverage

    production facilities, and, how that can be used to reduce the

    potential for contamination of products and national product

    recalls. 

    The year has moved quickly and I hope that you have been

    pleased by the work we have done this year. My personal

    goal has been to offer meaningful, valuable programs for your

    enjoyment and technical growth. As this is our last meeting

    coming, we can only continue that quest next activity year.

    Until then, or at your convenience, please feel free to reach

    out to me and share your thoughts and ideas for programs or

    activities you would like to see, and I will work to make them

    happen.

    Greetings Plumbing friends and professionals

    everywhere;

    May is here and the weather is wonderful. We are finally,

    fully into spring and moving through the calendar

    briskly. Already many colleges and universities have

    completed graduation ceremonies, and our high-school

    students are coming up quickly. We are also

    approaching our last event in our chapter activity year.

    next activity year. Until then, or at your convenience, please feel

    free to reach out to me and share your thoughts and ideas for

    programs or activities you would like to see, and I will work to make

    them happen.

  •  Our speaker will be Mr. James Hunt with Watts Water, who

    will speak about Blücher drainage systems. I hope to see

    many of you there for an interesting presentation.

    Since we won’t be meeting this summer, I would like to leave

    you with another piece of plumbing history to enjoy and

    inspire you until the fall. This was originally shared with me by

    the Society VPT David DeBord. It is a bit long for lunchtime

    viewing, but well worth the watch after hours. Enjoy!

    Wishing you all a great summer! Work hard – play hard –

    have fun! See you in September!

    Atlanta ASPE Chapter membership is doing well.  We are above the 200 member mark holding steady at 207 members.  

    I personally believe we stand above others because the Atlanta ASPE Board focuses specifically on providing our

    members with a valuable service.  A service we are to provide by:

    PAGE 4 MAY 2017PIPELINE

    Keeping our members up-to-date on current trends, code changes, and technologies affecting the plumbing

    engineering industry;

    Providing our members with direct access to the latest information and technical developments in the field;

    Offering education and professional growth and development opportunities;

    Maintaining a Chapter network that enables our members to build personal and professional contacts and to network

    with engineers, designers, wholesalers, and manufacturers. It makes for a unique opportunity for peer-to-peer and

    professional-to-professional interaction in an informal and friendly setting.

    Do you have a colleague or friend that could benefit from such services?  If so, I challenge you to bring them to our next dinner

    meeting.  

    As always, members are the backbone of our Chapter and Society.  The more members we have, the more value WE create.  We

    are constantly probing for new ideas in regards to increasing membership and involvement in the Atlanta Chapter.  Please feel free

    to contact me with any suggestions you may have.   My phone number is 770-414-1628, and my email address is

    [email protected]

    The first annual ASPE Skeet Shoot was a success, I would like to thank everyone who sponsored this event and all who showed up

    to shoot.  Thanks to Tom Low Shooting range and Beaver Creek BBQ (man that BBQ was good)!

    Woodford 67 series are the best-selling commercial wall hydrants in the nation. With good reason.

    They drain automatically, even with a hose attached. They’re high flow and maintenance-free. They have fewer parts to wear out than competitive hydrants. And they won’t freeze.

    They’re guaranteed for five years. They set the standard other faucets can only hope to reach.

    As we wrap up another year in ASPE, and the end of my tenure with the ASPE board, I am reminded why I value my membership

    so much.  ASPE is a great organization for furthering industry knowledge, networking, and staying current with codes and statutes

    that affect our field.  I have many great friendships and working relationships that were born out of ASPE, and consider the yearly

    dues and dinner meeting fees a very small investment when you consider the value that is derived from the program.  I look forward

    to next (ASPE) year, and will see everyone at the ASPE golf tournament.  Thanks to everyone for attending the meetings,

    participating in member events, and reading our newsletter!  Speaking of reading the newsletter, I have been writing articles for

    years now and have always wondered how many people read this thing!  To reward readership and to satisfy my personal curiosity,

    please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line ASPE.  I’ll raffle off a box of Titleist NXT Tour balls

    amongst the participants that emailed me (you must attend an Atlanta ASPE dinner meeting or event to accept the prize).  Thanks!
