This training class includes discussions and hands-on workshops on collection system
Course hydraulics, new system design, master planning, capacity analysis, and rehabilitation,
Description: for wastewater collection systems. In addition to instruction on how the models work,
students complete hands-on exercises using SewerGEMS and SewerCAD software, a
dynamic analysis tool that can run directly within the GIS environment. Both steady-
state and extended-period simulations (through time) are presented in this course, as
well as gravity and pressure system components. Attendees learn to customize plan
and profile sheets, tabular reports and sanitary and wet-weather loadings. Exercises
apply SewerGEMS and SewerCAD tools to leverage existing GIS and database
information to build models and populate loadings. Analyses of combined sewer
systems are also covered in this course. Students will work the case studies using the
Stand Alone SewerGEMS and/or SewerCAD.
This class enables those involved in capacity analysis, system rehabilitation,
Learning infiltration & inflow studies, and new design to use SewerGEMS or SewerCAD to
Objectives: complete their daily tasks much more efficiently. Attendees will be able to better
produce customized profiles, graphs & tables, as well as learn how to present and
review model results for pipe sizing, capacity analysis and wet weather overflows.
