Manhole and Pipe Rehabilitation Manufacturers Education and Training

Find out about manhole rehabilitation and pipe rehabilitation certification, conferences and associations

By Gail L. Perry, Freelance Writer / MSW Life Coach
Manhole repair and/or rehabilitation decreases the amount of storm water that flows into a sewer treatment plant, which reduces water treatment costs. It also increases efficiency and safety when giving access to underground piping systems, facilities and meters. The need for rehabilitation occurs with time, environmental factors and the creation of better products.

Pipe rehabilitation and/or repair is time-consuming and difficult because of excavation and environmental concerns. However, failing to maintain piping systems is just as damaging because it causes flooding, sewage backup and/or loss of water service. The development of trenchless technology makes pipe rehabilitation easier, more precise and less intrusive. For more manhole and pipe rehabilitation manufacturers education and training, consider the following:

1. Understand manhole rehab and pipe rehab certification procedures.

2. Attend conferences and events to meet other manhole rehabilitation manufacturers and pipe rehabilitation manufacturers.

3. Learn about new manhole rehabilitation equipment and manhole rehabilitation products from trade shows, associations and journal articles.

 

Find organizations that offer manhole rehab and pipe rehab certification

Pipe and manhole rehabilitation often requires certification for certain areas of work. This type of work can be very sensitive, and technology development continues to grow. Stay abreast of new developments and areas of certification, so your materials keep up with the growth and change of rehabilitation methods.
Try: The National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) provides certification programs in pipeline assessment, manhole assessment and more. American Public Works Association has certification programs for infrastructure inspectors, storm water managers and more. The Water Environment Federation offers a variety of certification and training opportunities.

Attend conferences and events for manhole rehabilitation manufacturer demonstrations

Conferences and other events offer you the chance to network with manufacturers and distributors. The events give you the opportunity to learn about new processes, see new process demonstrations and ask questions about cutting-edge technology. The network for those in underground construction is extensive, and it is worth your time and money to attend these industry conferences and events.
Try: One listing of events is available at Underground Construction. Associated Construction Publications also has a list of upcoming events. Check out the Underground Construction Technology (UCT) list of events.

See new possibilities with manhole and pipe rehabilitation manufacturers associations

Education and training are available at trade shows, with associations and in industry journals. Keep up with the latest development and training, so you are able to offer the newest technology for rehabilitation projects. Attending trade shows, joining associations and reading journals keeps you in the center of new happenings and new connections for business.
Try: Locate industry trade shows by categories, dates, organizers or venue with the idswater search menu. Another site to find industry trade shows, associations, journals and magazines is Water and Wastewater.com. The North American Society for Trenchless Technology is an association that offers education, training and the annual No Dig Show for those interested in trenchless technology.

 

  • Offer distributors and/or customers company specific pipe rehabilitation and manhole manufacturer training and education, so they get the most from your products.
