Collections Seminar

Our popular one-day Collections Seminar includes everything from basic math to how a bucket machine is used to clean large diameter pipelines.  We spice up the day with video clips demonstrating smoke testing, a less than friendly alligator, hydrojetting nozzles, and much more.  Our collections seminar is a great introduction to the industry for new employees and a good refresher for those taking certification exams.

Please join us for a full day of Collection Systems related topics in Denver on May 17, 2012.

Topics for this eight hour seminar include Collections Math, System Basics, Pumps, Lift Stations, and Collection System Maintenance. The heart of this class consists of nearly three hours of discussion on inspection, testing, and cleaning of gravity sewer lines.  The inspect, clean, and test portion of the seminar introduces technologies that participants may not have direct experience with such as rodding and bucket machines and smoke testing.

The course follows the general outline of Volume I of the Operation and Maintenance of Wastewater Collection Systems book published by the USEPA and Office of Water Programs; more commonly known as one of the Sacramento Manuals.
