WASTEWATER PUMPING STATION AND FORCEMAIN SYSTEMS DESIGN, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE WORKSHOP

JANUARY 21 & 22, 2010 | WINNIPEG MB
Sponsored by MWWA & WCWEA

This seminar has been approved for 1.2 CEUs by SK & MB; AB approval pending

It is not unreasonable for facility owners to desire wastewater pumping systems that are suitable for their system flows, include efficient equipment, are constructed cost-effectively, operate smoothly and minimize downtime with normal maintenance. Wastewater pumping systems that are compatible with the piping systems they are connected to would be strongly encouraged as well. Unfortunately, cases of mismatched materials to design requirements and the unfamiliarity or lack of mandatory design checks have kept the legal industry busy. This workshop aims to reduce the frequency of these types of incidents.
The objective of this workshop will be to present topics regarding overall system design concepts, design criteria for both pumping stations and forcemains, assessment of existing stations and upgrading of existing facilities, and a review of operational and maintenance issues related to the sustainability of pumping station systems. Design examples for both small and large pumping stations, including the respective forcemain system design, will be included in this workshop. Manitoba Hydro will be present to speak on their Performance Optimization Program (POP).
This two-day workshop offers the latest in wastewater pump station engineering knowledge as well as an opportunity for networking with fellow professionals. A mini tradeshow may be included with this workshop.
