an interactive training course using a mixture of lecture, digital interactive exercises, quizzes, and hands-on software activities
WRc Academy hosted a 5-day in-country training course using lecture, exercises, and live software demonstrations to introduce water company staff to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and its use in modelling water network assets such as pumps, valves and reservoirs.

staff with an understanding of network asset characteristics to enable correct modelling and interpretation of simulation results
staff can ultimately support their business in minimising supply interruptions, reduce risk of severe restrictions and improve water quality
Client: Water and Sewerage Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (WASA)
WASA manages the water and sewerage sector of the islands of Trinidad and Tobago in the Carribbean. It works to deliver a safe, reliable and efficient water supply to satisfy the demand of all sectors of the economy.
WRc was asked to upskill our client's teams in the latest available technological systems and ensure that knowledge for modernising operations and instilling best practice could be achieved at WASA. A capacity-building programme was required in order to provide clean water network engineers with the skills to deliver high quality services - by fully understanding the physical characteristics of assets, such as valves, pumps and reservoirs, to enable correct modelling and interpretation of simulation results.
Our clean water network operation and data specialists delivered an interactive, engaging 5-day course, introducing WASA employees to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and its use in modelling various water network assets. The course built on employees’ knowledge of existing software implementations by exploring the use of enhanced automated monitoring and control.
WRc operated techniques for best-practice knowledge transfer in its programme, promoting structured and engaging delivery with demonstrable application of learning. The training used digital interactive exercises, quizzes, and hands-on software activities to demonstrate applied learning while boosting employee retention and confidence.This project equipped staff with the ability to support WASA in building, visualising, and optimising clean water networks, ultimately helping to minimise supply interruptions, reduce risk of severe restrictions and improve water quality. Creating a knowledge network enabled WASA colleagues to harness WRc's global water industry experience, adopt proven methodologies, and access support where needed, along with answers to any questions.
