Fundamentals of Coastal Processes and Risk Management

The purpose of this course is to introduce the concepts of coastal processes controlling landform evolution and coastal risk management. Delegates will learn about the physical processes that control how coastal landforms evolve over short- (storm events) and long- (decades to centuries) time periods and how coastal change models can inform planning decisions.

Water Loss and Leakage Management - Level One

This course will provide an introduction to leakage detection, control and management and the relevant technologies used to assist in the process. Trunk main and distribution leakage detection techniques where there is limited metering will also be covered in this course as well as an introduction to asset planning and District Meter Areas (DMA) design.

Water Loss and Leakage Management - Level Two

This course will focus on the advanced leakage detection processes and the latest technology available in leakage location. The course will also cover District Meter Areas (DMA) management and how to prioritise which DMA’s to work in based on various KPIS.

Water Loss and Leakage Management - Level Three

This course will focus on building a water balance a water balance using data collected by the participants prior to the course. Also, there will be a deep dive into the constituent components of the Non-Revenue Water, namely Authorised Unbilled Consumption, Apparent Losses and Real Losses.

Masterclass: Evaluating SuDS Submissions to Meet Irish Planning Requirements

This course will identify common policy driver requirements us on the core aspects of SuDS evaluation. Fundamental checks will be identified along with the package of information which would be anticipated for evaluation. The four pillars of SuDS will be considered and how these interlink in terms of delivery of SuDS which deliver against the 4 pillars of SuDS.
