The Challenge

The client, United Utilities, needed developmental awareness training in sewer pipeline inspection condition assessment for its staff dealing with CCTV surveys.

The Solution 

WRc delivered a one-day, in-person awareness training course, covering sewer pipeline inspection condition classification based on the Manual of Sewer Condition Classification (5th Edition). The 4-module course forms part of WRc’s 3-day Sewer Pipeline Assessment and Certification Course and included an introduction to CCTV inspection, defect classification, sewer condition classification codes, and defect recognition and identification.

The course was delivered by Peter Henley who has over 34 years’ experience in the water industry as a CCTV specialist. Peter is fully trained to the Water UK-recognised qualification OS19x (Pipe) and OS21x (Brick) standard to the requirements of the Manual of Sewer Condition Classification. 

The Outcome 

The training course provided each delegate with an awareness and understanding of the need for sewer CCTV inspection and gave them a full understanding of how sewers fail, and the typical observed defects associated with these failures, how the sewer condition classification coding structure is applied, and how sewer condition grades are calculated. The course also gave each participant a clear understanding of sewer CCTV survey reports and CCTV Data, improving their knowledge when maintaining the wastewater network.

The course will support consistency and development which will then relate to reducing business risk on high grade defects within our sewer network, but also enable us to be less risk averse and therefore ensure money is spent where needed.
