ASCE Continuing Education Seminar

This seminar will increase your expertise in detention routing and address the essential concepts of detention routing using “real-world” examples and case studies. As a result of this seminar, you will be able to minimize risk and improve the operation and effectiveness of your clients’ detention facilities. Hydrograph analysis and strategy development will be emphasized to reduce modeling iterations. Attendees will participate in case studies and project scenario discussions to reinforce detention routing principles discussed during the course.
