Course overview

This programme is designed to provide staff with an awareness of the need for sewer CCTV inspection and drain repairs to improve their knowledge of wastewater network maintenance. Upon completion, delegates will be able to understand:

  • how sewers fail, and the typical observed defects associated with these failures;
  • how the sewer condition classification coding structure is applied and condition grades are calculated; and
  • how CCTV survey reports and CCTV data are interpreted to make more efficient wastewater maintenance decisions.

Who can benefit?

Delegates may include those needing to develop their understanding of sewer deterioration and the use of CCTV condition surveys in sewer rehabilitation planning to support their current role or future career. For example, wastewater engineers; strategy managers, sewer rehabilitation managers, regulators and early-career sewer CCTV operators.

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.
