Rehabilitation of Water Distribution Systems: Selecting Rehab Methods

SKU: RV-11159
Duration: 1.00 Hr

The average age of water distribution systems within the U.S. is between 50 to 100 years. This is right at the design life cycle of many systems, thus local water agencies are investing more and more in the rehabilitation of existing water distribution systems instead of the construction of new systems. This interactive online course will go through the overall items that need to be considered when selecting a method to rehabilitate a water distribution system. At the end of this course Contractors, Engineers, Water System Operators and Architects will be able to select applicable technologies to be used to repair, rehabilitate and replace aging water distribution systems.
