Learning Method: The PDDP program is more of a self-guided learning style. You are required to read the notes and materials given, complete the follow-up assignments on your own, send in your questions prior to your 1 hour webinar meeting (if required) and be involved in live discussion via the internet. Once you have completed the course, you will receive a certificate of completion
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 3-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. This course has been designed to enlighten anyone who is not a civil engineer with the basics of Municipal Engineering Design. There is no need for a civil engineering background as the civil engineering concepts will not be introduced in depth. This course deals with basic aspects of three areas: Sanitary Sewer Design, Storm Water Design and Water Supply Systems. These include: the importance of these systems in municipalities, the geological and geotechnical aspects of the ground conditions, simple estimation of Sanitary and Storm Systems loads, and definition of peaking factors. The population’s estimation methods with respect to Water supply systems are also introduced. Objective:
To understand the basics of sanitary, storm water and water supply systems design, to develop skills to understand and back analyze these systems for better performance understanding as to possibly suggest additions or replacements for existing systems.
The main objective of this workshop is to enable participants to participate efficiently in municipal systems evaluation and analyses. After completing the course participants should be able to understand the design of Sanitary sewer, Storm Sewer and Water supply and effectively contribute to their understanding of construction procedures. The course philosophy is to improve the participant’s knowledge about these systems. The information is supplied in a simple and systematic way, discussing topics where current knowledge is lacking and more understanding is needed. |  |
Target Audience:
Mechanical engineers, Electrical engineers; public works and construction department employees of federal, provincial and municipal governments and engineers responsible for large industrial, commercial or institutional facilities who must deal with different types of municipal systems; management staff and project managers. 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 , stormwater drainage and water supply systems design and are currently employed in the wastewater management field. Civil engineering technicians, technologists; junior civil engineers and civil engineers of all levels who are looking to refresh their memory and gain a better understanding of Municipal Design aspects. The course will be of interest to a wide range of practising engineers, mangers and administration staff at different stages in their careers. Familiarisation with civil engineering aspects is not required. Special Features:
The three-day course will consist of a series of lectures and workshops. A workshop on Sewers Design will be given. 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 three of the top commercial software available in the market for the design of sanitary and storm sewer systems (Storm CAD, Sewer CAD and Water Cad)
You will receive a limited edition version (academic version) of the CAD design software package and a reference book on Engineering Hydraulics application). Materials Required: - Standard engineering calculator with scientific functions
- Laptop for software training (if available)

After Attending This Workshop You Will Be Able To: - Understand the fundamentals of sanitary, storm water sewer and water distribution systems
- Participate effectively in any engineering meeting to discuss these systems
- Analyze existing systems and find out existing problems
- Learn the design software WaterCad with numerous design examples
- Understand basics of systems design and application
- Understand how to perform Back an analysis of existing systems for any possible problems
- Learn how to use the commercial package Sewer CAD and Storm CAD
- Discover the numerous issues to consider when planning sewer and stormwater drainage and water supply systems at a given site
- Learn to design sanitary sewer and storm water drainage systems to meet given planning objectives
The PDDP Distance Education program works as follows: You will receive the course notes in hard copy through the online website, you will receive a set of notes each week covering the course material. A one hour video-conference session will be conducted by your instructor each week (if required). The objective of this session is to assist in solving the assignments, as well as answer student questions that should be sent to instructor early enough prior to the meeting time. In addition with being able to communicate with the instructor, you will also be able to communicate with other students in the same class and watch their questions being answered as well. (A high speed internet connection is strongly recommended for this feature). Each set of exercises can be completed and submitted by the indicated date and your completed exercise will be marked online and and returned by your instructor. To gain the most from your course, it is highly recommended that you participate fully in all discussions and exercises. Please remember that each course has a form of quiz or exercise at the end to test your understanding of the material. You will be informed of these dates when you receive the course schedule.
*Course commencement date is subject to instructor availability.
