Water Distribution systems: Execution, interaction with other utilities, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting
Course Objectives
Water distribution network is one of the most essential utilities of an urban town planning. Engineers who are interest for such facilities should have Knowledge Management (KM) prior planning, design and constructions phases of such projects. The water distribution network passing through several stages up to water supply and up to age failure (planning, Design, Constructions, Operations, Maintenance and relationship between water network and other utilities during and after constructions) The main objective of the course is to execute every stage efficiently to raise the efficiency of the following stages for all network components: – How to collect professionally knowledge, information, planning and design to get a professionally successful project. – How to execute the project to get a professionally successful network. – How to make good operation and preventive maintenance to minimized the corrective maintenance. – How to make quick and professional corrective maintenance to minimized time and water losses.
