New Technologies Enabling Condition-Based Maintenance for Collection Systems - Live Webinar

CWEA Members: $25.00
Non-Members: $35.00 

1.2 Contact Hours Towards CWEA Certifications: CSM, MT, EIT

Over the past 4 years over 150 municipalities in the western US have adopted a new method of maintenance for their collection systems called Condition-Based Maintenance.  This approach uses the two new technologies of Transmissive Acoustic Assessments and Manhole Virtualization to generate digital twins of the assets in the collection system.  These digital twins can be used to determine exactly where and how cleaning, CCTV, and rehabilitation resources should be applied.  The result of using these technologies is better outcomes, lower cost, less water used, and lower emissions.  In addition, new data visualizations in ArcGIS enable wastewater managers to visualize year over year performance of their systems in simple data dashboards.  These dashboards consistently show that Condition-Based Maintenance is leading to improved outcomes for those that have adopted this new approach.

 
Learning Objectives/Attendee Takeaways: 
o        No. 1: Efficient Maintenance: Over 150 municipalities in the western US have adopted Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) in the past 4 years. It uses advanced technologies to create digital twins of collection system assets, leading to better outcomes, lower costs, reduced water usage, and emissions.
o        No. 2:  Informed Decision-Making: CBM provides detailed insights into asset condition and performance, aiding data-driven decisions. New ArcGIS data visualizations offer intuitive dashboards for tracking performance trends over time.
o        No. 3: Environmental Impact: CBM minimizes resource wastage like water usage and emissions, contributing to environmental sustainability while achieving operational excellence in wastewater management.

Registrants who view the live webinar to see the slides and hear the audio and then enter the correct attention check code (directions below) will receive 1.2 contact hours towards CWEA's certification: CSM, MT, EIT

To receive your contact hours for viewing the live webinar, please note the two (2) different attention check codes that will be displayed at two different points during the webinar in the top left or right corner of the presentation for approximately 90 seconds.  Please enter these codes as 1st attention check code – 2nd attention check code (XXXX-XXXX) in the Attention Check Code component under the "Contents" tab.  

Please note, all user activity of CWEA certification holders on the Online Wastewater Education Network is subject to the CWEA Code of Ethics standards for professional conduct and ethics. Certification holders should receive credit for a training only once within the same contact hour period. Any attempt to undermine the certification process may be subject to ethics procedures and possible sanctions. It is not possible to receive contact hours for both attending the live webinar and viewing the recording.  

Once you have entered the correct attendance check codes, you will be able to create and download an electronic certificate of completion under the "Contents" tab.
