Hydrant Operation & Maintenance Workshop

Operators will learn about the design, operation and maintenance of a variety of fire hydrants, especially the McAvity fire hydrants. You will learn about the AWWA hydrant design and operation criteria and will learn to establish a proper hydrant maintenance program. The afternoon portion of the workshop will allow you to put into practice what was learned in the morning by taking hydrants (incl. a McAvity fire hydrant) apart, performing needed repairs or maintenance and reassembling the hydrants and putting them back into service in the instructor’s presence. This will take place at a number of city street locations.

Developing Plant Operations Manuals and Procedures Workshop

This workshop shows you how to analyze your facility’s documentation needs and develop an effective plan to create clear and useable standard operating procedures and plant operation manuals. You will learn how to analyze your operational, maintenance and repair processes and develop the formats, standards and guidelines needed to create effective documents. You will receive the SOP Toolkit, a library of practical forms, checklists and helpful hints. Bring some of your existing resource documents – or just bring all that expertise stored up in your head – and reshape it into a prototype to kickstart development of your Plant Operation Manual or SOPs. This workshop will give you the confidence to move ahead and build the technical documentation library you need. A 5 hour workshop.

Groundwater Issues in Saskatchewan Workshop

This one day workshop will focus primarily on groundwater exploration, development and potential treatment modifications related to surface water influences. The intention is to provide operators with case studies related to how groundwater supplies for municipalities are developed, then move towards discussing existing problems associated with groundwater supply (i.e production problems, groundwater under the influence issues) before finally looking at well maintenance options and design alternatives at the treatment plant. 0.5 CEU have been applied for.
