Our purpose built interactive training facility includes a fully operational water system and represents typical components from source to tap.
Our system and the hands on tour include components such as: ü Ground water (life size, operational, above ground and transparent water well) ü Pumping and storage (several variations of pumps and an active reservoir system) ü Disinfection equipment (chlorine room with sodium, calcium and gas chlorination) ü Sampling and monitoring lab equipment (chorine residual and bacteriological) ü Distribution system (variety of charged pipe from 150mm mains to 20mm services including repair couplings, saddles and service connections with main and curb stops) ü Valves (control, air relief, gate, butterfly, check, backflow prevention, ball, plug etc.) ü Hydrants (dry barrel slide gate, compression and yard style) ü Metering (positive displacement and turbine) (Magnetic and propeller. spring 2010)
This dynamic and interactive session always includes a complete system tour. Our program does offer flexibility and the delivery is adjusted based on the results of the initial assessment where we identify the specific area’s of interest and expand on these components as time permits. |
