Description
Potable water is a vital resource, essential for public health and daily living. Ensuring the infrastructure that conveys this water is reliable and efficient is of utmost importance. Consequently, water main systems are subject to regular inspections, maintenance, and rehabilitation. As technologies and methods for water main rehabilitation continually advance, it becomes crucial for engineers and technologists to stay informed about the benefits and limitations of each approach. This knowledge allows you to make well-informed decisions tailored to specific situations and challenges.

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) reports that over 6 billion gallons of treated water are lost every day in the United States due to leaks and system failures. While there is no comprehensive data available for Canada, reports frequently highlight incidents of water main failures, which can occur in both domestic services and large-diameter transmission mains. Addressing these issues through effective rehabilitation techniques not only conserves water but also enhances the reliability and sustainability of water supply systems.

Attending this course provides a comprehensive understanding of the latest advancements in water main rehabilitation techniques. Participants will gain practical knowledge and skills necessary for assessing and selecting the most appropriate methods for various scenarios. By staying ahead of industry trends and technological developments, attendees will be better equipped to tackle the challenges of watermain maintenance and ensure the long-term sustainability of water resources.
