PATRICK COMERFORD LACSI President
UNPLU GGED talking with Pat Comerford, LACSI President
An LA electric-rapper songwriter he’s definitely not. Not even close. But a few minutes with Patrick Comerford and you’ll get the pace of a man with a lot to get done. Today. He starts early, 5:00 AM with his IPhone. It’s charged. Pat doesn’t brag about himself which makes him easy to talk to. His views of leadership are more about team process, soliciting quality input and building consensus. He believes that good decisions are the power behind thriving organizations and those decisions originate with the quality of the input.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A CSI MEMBER AND WHY DID YOU JOIN ? Pat: “Loren West invited me to a dinner meeting in 1990 and then he asked me to join the Technical Committee. I was in way over my
head, however, I soon learned to swim with ‘arm floaties’. Not really doing much, I took up another seat at the table.“
WHY DOES A PERSON JOIN CSI TODAY? Pat: “There is a delicate balance between a sales professional and a sales consultant. Cultivating a basic relationship with design professionals, a sales consultant is able to empathize with the architect and the problems the design professional faces with each project. CSI principles teach the framework of relationships within the construction industry. The problem is most people ‘don’t know what they don’t know’ and it is hard to grasp the
importance of the relationships. CSI has taught me to value the people who have gone through the process before me. It is truly a mentoring culture.“
WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF LACSI? Pat: “.Someone I respected very much asked me if I would consider serving on the Board of Directors. It became apparent after my first BOD 3

PATRICK COMERFORD
UNPLUGG ED
An Interveiw with Patrick Comerford, LACSI President meeting that my membership in CSI was no longer a spectator sport. I had some ideas which I didn’t know I had. The bylaws of the Chapter had equal numbers of board members from the professional ranks and the industry side of the group. I first volunteered to take over the planning of the trade show and was mentored by another person whom I really respected. I never coveted the President’s position, but there were so many strong people serving on the Board of Directors, I saw an opportunity to accomplish the things on my agenda with the support of this group.“
WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE STRUCTURE OF THE BOARD? Pat: “It was never my intent to trim down the BOD. That was a Long Range Planning Committee recommendation. A reduced size gave us a smaller (more nimble) group. We used to have big affairs at our BOD meetings and spent a fair amount of money getting together. We needed to still conduct Chapter governance within a shrinking budget. My contribution to this cost cutting was provide webinar meetings for the BOD and Committees. This allowed
us to conduct our affairs from each other’s remote locations and still interact effectively without the cost or time commitment previously needed to get together. It’s working.“
WEBINARS? WHAT’S WITH THE WEBINARS? Pat: “Webinars are the phone calls of the 1940’s. Being able to conduct a meeting with 12-15 people in different parts of SoCal is really cheap and productive. This webinar meeting format is not a fad, LACSI will be offering all our programs remotely, whenever possible. Too many people want to become more involved, but are reluctant to fight traffic and spend more time away from home or office. Webinars allow the great educational opportunities for professional enrichment.“
HOW DO YOU MAKE TIME FOR EVERYTHING? REALLY? Pat: “I don’t make time for everything. The things that are relevant to my happiness, I make the effort to accomplish. Doing everything is suffocating and only perpetuates stress ( which prevents you from feeling like you accomplished anything ).“
CDT? YOU? Pat: “CDT is the ‘cool-aid’ of CSI. I did not fully understand the rules of the construction industry. Taking the CDT Prep course was a way for me to understand the roles of the players in the game. The instructors were all peers who have been through the game. We are very lucky at LACSI to have such a seasoned and dedicated group of professionals who are willing to share the wealth of their experience. The reason I took the Saturday CDT prep classes is because I needed to ‘walk the walk’.”
WHAT’S YOUR TAKE ON THE TOUGH TIMES? Pat: “It is very disturbing to hear anyone belittle the financial suffering of the working class. The only way for me to cope with it, is to acknowledge the suffering and do everything within my power to assist with those affected.”
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE APP? My favorite app is Pandora. It reminds me of my Sony Walkman in college (only the music is a lot better).”
DO YOU HAVE ANY TATOOS? Pat: “No.“ 4

Impossible BuchNotes Engineering, Technology and Territoriality on the
Canal du Midi by Chandra Mukerji
BY ED BUCH
The construction of a ship canal across 150
miles of southern France in the 1670s seems, if not technically and financially impossible, at least highly unlikely considering that canals of this length and complexity had not been constructed previously. Construction was done largely by hand in the 17th century and the knowledge of structures, soil mechanics, and hydraulics was limited. What engineering and construction knowledge existed was empirical, engineering calculations were not yet customary. Survey and layout instruments were in their infancy. Locks of the size and quantity necessary to raise and then lower ships through 620’ of elevation change had not been constructed previously. Finding qualified labor and organizing them for a project so large
was difficult. Lastly, and no less important, was the issue of raising the money necessary for purchasing the land and building the canal, even for the King of France.
financier, Pierre Paul Riquet, first envisioned the canal, convinced King Louis XIV to fund the project, and then spent 14 years getting it built. The canal, as a shortcut from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, had been considered for years as a way to avoid the month- long voyage past hostile Spain and pirates of the Barbary Coast. The canal connects the Garonne River at Toulouse with Sete on the southeast coast of
“Impossible Engineering, Technology and Territoriality on the Canal du Midi” by Chandra Mukerji describes how a wealthy French
France. The eastern half of the canal is the most interesting segment with the canal tunneling through a mountain at Malpas and across aqueduct structures bridging the canal over three river valleys. 12
MARCH-APRIL 2012
BuchNotes Construction of the 86 locks was initially beyond the experience and technical capabilities of the engineers. Military engineers in the 17th Century were accomplished in fortress construction but had limited experience with canal and lock construction from work on much shorter and smaller canals. As a result construction on the Canal du Midi was by the trial and error method. For example, the side walls at the first locks constructed failed due to the soil pressure bearing against the timber sides of the lock basins when the water was emptied. With the local knowledge of Roman masonry arch construction, available from numerous aqueducts and other Roman ruins in the Languedoc region, the geometry of the locks was changed from parallel side walls to curved sides resulting in oval shaped locks. Instead of timber, the locks were constructed of stone. The locks were 98’ L x 36’ W x 14’D and constructed in a series at each location, staircase fashion, with gates made of oak. In order for the water emptying from one lock to completely fill the adjacent one, the volume of each lock had to be precisely the same. The most important technical accomplishment of the entire project was the system of dams and feeder channels that kept the canal full of water year round. This was done by harnessing the snow melt and rainwater runoff from the nearby

mountains, the Montagne Noire. This required the construction of a dam and reservoir at St. Ferrol that was 160’ H x 0.6 mile long. The dam was constructed of masonry faces with clay infill. It was connected to the canal at its highpoint through a series of feeder channels constructed by locals who had detailed knowledge of the topography so that the water would flow into, but not flood the canal. At its peak, construction required an estimated 12,000 workers, many of them women. The 6’ D x 56’ W canal was constructed using hand tools. The canal was filled in May of 1681, 6 months after Riquet died. The canal is still in existence today serving as a recreational and tourist waterway. The book has 304 pages and includes many maps and photos. Unfortunately many of them are too small to appreciate. The book focuses on the social and political climate in which the canal was constructed with only limited detail included on the canal’s construction. Chandra Mukerji is a professor of communications and science studies at UC San Diego. The book was published in 2009 by the Princeton University Press.

Federal Law Requires Training for Public Agency Staff BUDGET MINDED
ONLINE TRAINING CSI Certification provides public agencies with a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of the construction process. Late in 2011, federal legislation was passed mandating that any personnel performing duties under contract to a federal agency for design/construction/ maintainance responsibilities must recieve training and hold certifications to perform such work. LACSI has been a leader in providing the Construction Document Technologist (CDT) training for decades and recently launched a webinar program for test preparation.
About CDT Certification The LACSI program is conducted online each week, in 2-hour sessions over12 weeks. The classroom style instruction is conducted real time with interaction between seasoned trainers and the student. The fee is site based, so agencies and organizations can take take advantage of technology to provide training to as many or as few personnel as they chose. All training sessions are scheduled in blocks that meet the needs of the site. Earning the CDT ensures that personnel working on construction projects possess the competencies required to do so.
The CSI Construction Document Technologist (CDT) education/certificate program is the only education program currently available that covers the basic principles for the design/construction process as well as contract documents. CDT provides personnel involved in the federal design/construction/maintain process with the knowledge leveled required to better manage the construciton projects. The certification exam is offered twice a year.
