APERÇU

Ontario Water Wastewater Certification Office
This course has met the requirements under O. Reg. 128/04 as Director Approved Continuing Education.

After participating in the course, you will be able to:

• Learn the latest knowledge and science in pipeline engineering
• Address challenges in the pipeline industry
• Determine precise loads on buried pipelines
• Learn about the design of Buried Gravity Flow Pipes and Pressure Pipelines

Description:
Subsurface infrastructure are absolute necessities of nowadays modern societies. One of the complex and extensive components of this subsurface infrastructure is piping systems used for diverse applications including sewer lines, drainage lines, subway tunnels, water mains, gas lines, culverts, and utility conduits. However, these buried lifelines are often forgotten unless they deteriorate and fail, resulting in costly service disruption, repairs, multiple ripping of roads, and time-consuming litigation.

Proper engineering knowledge is the key for solving this problem.
