Emerging Technologies for Conveyance Systems

Course No. EN-6001

Credit: 6 PDH

Course Fee: $164.95 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Stephen J. Huskie, P.E.

 

Overview

To meet the challenge of ongoing and even increasing needs for maintenance and repair, many public and private conveyance system owners and consultants are seeking innovative technologies to replace, renew, or extend the life of these critical systems.

Sanitary and combined sewer overflows may be the result of improper installation, age and chemical deterioration, or insufficient operation and maintenance, which can manifest as structural, mechanical or electrical failures, collapsed or broken pipes, and insufficient capacity. Many elements critical to sanitary and combined sewers also apply to storm sewers. The outcome of programs for overflow control and infrastructure asset management has resulted in a search for reliable, cost-effective conveyance system technologies.

This course provides a source of information on the newer technologies available, and identifies a multitude of conveyance system rehabilitation, replacement, and evaluation technologies.

Information is presented on each technology including its objective, description, state of development, and available cost information, as well as associated contacts and related data sources.

This course is based on the USEPA publication “Emerging Technologies for Conveyance Systems” (EPA 832-R-06-004).

Note: The information contained in the referenced publication, including the names of vendors, products or manufacturers, and practitioners, does not represent the recommendation or endorsement of the course author, but provides a source of information on the objectives, description, and status of various technologies.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz at the end of the course to obtain PDH credits.
