Rehabilitation of Water Distribution Systems: Designing Renewal Projects

The average age of water distribution systems within the U.S. is between 50 to 100 years. This is right at the design life cycle of many systems, thus local water agencies are investing more and more in the rehabilitation of existing water distribution systems instead of the construction of new systems. This interactive online course will go through some of the key technical guidelines and standards for designing rehabilitation projects within the US. Some of these guidelines include AWWA, ANSI, ASTM and ASME standards. At the end of this course Contractors, Engineers, Water System Operators and Architects will be able to determine applicable design and QA/QC guidelines for common water distribution rehabilitation methods.
