Sanitary and Storm Sewers, and Water Distribution Systems Design Workshop (1.8 CEUs)
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 storm water 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 departments’ 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 , storm water drainage and water supply systems design and are currently employed in the wastewater management field.
The course will be of interest to a wide range of practicing engineers, mangers and administration staff at different stages in their careers. Familiarization 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).

Dr. Abdelaziz has over 35 years of experience in geotechnical and structural engineering and water resources management, foundation design, teaching, research and consulting in Canada and overseas.
Dr. Gamal has designed and delivered over one hundred geotechnical/water resources engineering workshops which are well received by practitioners' engineers in Canada and globally.
Highly energetic proactive accomplished Civil Engineer with 35+ years of Canadian/International experience in Civil Engineering design and construction management. Work includes linear infrastructures, aviation-related projects, military, industrial, institutional, commercial buildings, tunnels design and construction, foundation and geotechnical engineering, slope stability, tailing and dams design and analyses, environmental site assessment and bridges design. Strong expertise in geotechnical engineering techniques and project/construction management methods. Exceptional leadership/team builder and management skills, experienced working with multi-national teams, managed up to 200 technical team members. Thorough knowledge of building codes and standards. Mega projects management experiences. The projects sizes ranged up to 150 B USD.
Dr. Abdelaziz has served in top leadership positions as Program Director, Technical Director, Design Director and Program Director in several of the largest engineering firms in the world – WSP and SYSTRA Corporations.
While his achievements are numerous, some highlights include supervising the design of a capital budget of up to USD $150B under the NEOM Corporation, Saudi Arabia. He developed new clients and provided technical leadership and project management according to the company's global business strategy. Established a full engineering operating firm and developed the business for a new engineering firm including developing the operating model and services. He also holds three degrees to further specialize his knowledge: Ph.D. in Civil and Geotechnical Eng. from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, M.S. in Geotechnical/Structural Eng. & B.S. in Civil Eng.
Dr. Abdelaziz is a former adjunct professor at University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada, visiting professor at Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada and part time professor at Seneca College, Toronto, Canada.
Dr. Abdelaziz is specialized in numerical modeling for solving sophisticated geotechnical engineering problems with respect to pile foundation and the linear and nonlinear analysis of soil-structure interaction.
