On mark 15, 2018, six people lost their lives after the partially constructed pedestrian bridge at the Florida International University in Miami collapsed.  This case study will explore the evolution of this project, including the decisions that were made and the discussions that took place int eh crucial days and hours before the collapse.  Rather than a purely technical discussion about the structural shortcomings of the bridge, this presentation will focus on the ethical issues encountered in the final days of the project  The presentation will also focus on the investigations and lawsuits that followed and the impact to the project team.

The presenter is Aaron Mann, Senior Principal with Terracon Consultants who serves as their chief Legal Officer overseeing all facets of risk management for the firm.  He has been practicing law for two decades with a focus on business disputes.  Aaron manages outside counsel acting on behalf of Terracon and works internally to troubleshoot project issues and avoiding disputes before they escalate.  He is a frequent presenter at past events hosted by ACEC, ACI, ASCE, GBA, NSPE, and others.
