Utilities and their infrastructure form the backbone of modern communities, delivering essential services from drinking water to telecommunications. Proper design and planning of these systems are critical to the success of any construction project.
This interactive online course equips construction professionals, including engineers, architects, planners, and contractors, with practical knowledge of design criteria for a range of utility systems, covering both gravity and pressurized flow facilities.
Participants will gain insights into best practices, regulatory considerations, and real-world applications to ensure efficient, safe, and sustainable utility design in their projects.
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-
Recall the operational needs of a project to properly size utility lines.
-
Determine the capacity of existing facilities and how to supplement them.
-
Describe key elements for the design of gravity and pressurized flow facilities.
-
List available software for the analysis and design of gravity and pressurized flow systems.
-
Specify horizontal and vertical separations between different utility lines.
- List as-built survey requirements when constructing new facilities.
