Paul is a Senior Consultant with 13 years' industry experience immersed in the intricate challenges and dynamics of minimising water loss and optimising water resources. His strong understanding of both leakage detection methods and calculation methodologies stems from operational and field roles as well as working on leakage strategy and analysis to gain a thorough working knowledge of water loss.
This course was developed by WRc to equip delegates with the fundamental knowledge of leakage detection within a water distribution network. Upon course completion, participants will be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of: the principles of leakage and water loss; equipment used for noise-logging; techniques for tracing pipeline tracing locating fittings; configuration of metered supply areas; planning of safe working practices; and recording and reporting of leak detection data.
Delegates may include new starters to the water leakage industry. For example, new recruits to leak detection teams, to ensure a standardised level of baseline knowledge, thus consistency of operations.
Participants may also be drawn from any area of business or service where a fundamental understanding of leakage detection can improve decision-making within their role - for example team or project managers, as well as consultants in related fields.
The course is interactive, with a mix of lecture, group discussion, and exercises to facilitate an engaging learner experience. An end-of course multiple choice assessment effectively demonstrates knowledge transfer.
