Description
Eighty percent of a municipality’s problems are caused by twenty percent of its sanitary sewers and storm water drainage systems. The best way to avoid the majority of future problems is to pay greater attention to them during the design phase.
This 2-day workshop is intended for those who require better understanding of sanitary sewer and stormwater drainage systems design. The participant will be expected to complete a sanitary sewer and storm water drainage system design under instructor guidance by using first principle methods and/or design aids.
Venue
Additional Information
Objective
To understand the basics of sanitary and storm water system design, to develop skills to design new sanitary sewer and stormwater drainage systems as well as to design additions or replacements for existing systems.
Materials Required
Standard engineering calculator with scientific functions
Laptop for software training (if available)
Target Audience
Municipal engineers; public works directors; city engineers; superintendents of operations; wastewater system managers; safety inspectors and procurement officers from municipalities; consulting engineers; technicians and technologists; sewer construction contractors and other individuals who need a basic understanding of sanitary sewer and stormwater drainage system design and are currently employed in the wastewater management field.
Special Features
You will receive comprehensive course notes with all design charts, graphs and data that will serve as reference for future use. You will receive training on two of the top commercial software available in the market for the design of sanitary and storm sewer systems (StormCAD and SewerCAD).
You will receive a limited edition version (academic version) of the CAD design software package and a reference book on Engineering Hydraulics application
