Introduction to Leakage Detection
Duration: 1 day
Delivery: In-person
Read moreOur previous 'Water Loss and Leak Detection Operative' training is now delivered in 2 parts - 'Introduction to Leakage Detection' (this course) for newcomers to the field, and 'Advanced Leak Detection' for network operators and managers looking to enhance their ability.
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: causes of leakage; configuration of metered supply areas, principles of Active Leakage Control; and methods and equipment used for localising, locating and pinpointing leaks, as well as in-pipe leak detection technologies.
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 practical exercises to facilitate an engaging learner experience. An end-of course multiple choice assessment effectively demonstrates knowledge transfer.
