He's won the Coast to Coast a record 9 times and competed in endurance adventure races overseas. He knows teams - what makes them effective, what makes them tick! In race situations teamwork means the difference between life and death!

In that capacity, he oversees the operation, maintenance, traffic engineering design and capital improvements for the metro Denver, Colorado area community. In 2008, the city outsourced the entire Public Works Department under his direction, in a move which is widely understood to be the largest public-to-private conversion of its kind in the nation.
Dave served fourteen years as Director of Public Works and Director of Transportation for the City of Colorado Springs (pop. 400,000). In those capacities, he oversaw the Colorado Springs Airport, City Engineering, Traffic Engineering, Street Maintenance, Mass Transit divisions and the Pikes Peak Highway, the nation’s highest toll highway. His responsibilities included the construction of 400 miles of new streets and highways and associated infrastructure through private sector partnerships at no cost to the government, valued at roughly $1 Billion |

| Friday Afternoon Tours |
| Golf |
Play more, score less
The Plains New Course at Harewood is more like a links course in appearance, offering wide fairways and excellent greens. However, take it lightly at your peril. To score well, a golfer has to keep it on the fairway or else an awkward lie is likely. Traditionally a great afternoon out with hosts Downer.

| Kate Valley and Pegasus Town |
Less waste, more space - TOUR FULL
The Kate Valley Landfill is located approximately 75 km’s north of Christchurch and services the waste stream from five District Councils. The landfill is owned by a joint venture between the five District Councils and Canterbury Waste Services – a unique Public/Private Partnership. The landfill is design and constructed to world best practice with an integrated waste transport system.
A personalised tour for Ingenium member’s will show the features of the landfill and the additional benefits of the wide ranging community outreach programmes of this award winning landfill
Pegasus town is a new community for 5000-7000 people being built in North Canterbury. It has a range of very unique features, including a new manmade lake, a stormwater system that relies totally on soakage, and many urban traffic features to encourage community friendly activities.
While many may have seen the development in its early days, it is now much more advanced. People on the tour will see the completed lake (semi filled), many of the sections now built on, and the beginnings of the commercial centre. |
| Developing Waste Disposal Ventures |
More energy, less waste
The City Water and Waste Services Tour is a must see. The tour will visit a number of the City's Water and Waste facilities and show how Christchurch is looking to the future with carbon and energy recovery. You will be taken to:

ii) Capital works at the Christchurch Wastewater Treatment Plant including the recently completed thermophilic digesters and the new biosolids drying facility
iii) Centre City civil works in a 150 year old business district environment. Existing service, people and a very busy traffic environment all expose the City Engineers, consultants and contractors to cost and time pressures for this Western Interceptor upgrade - a 1350mm diameter sewer through the city. (Project due to start 1 July).
iv) Pump Station 11 - see how Christchurch City Council Architects and Engineers have turned the upgrade of the main terminal wastewater pump station into an award winning architectural project in a densely populated urban area.
