Wastewater n etwork pumping systems are only a small part of th e sewer network\, yet they have a disproportionate impact on the performance of many sewerage system s\, due to poor hydraulic performance\, poor relia bility\, odour complaints\, bacterial corrosion an d short asset lives . The environmental impact of failures is also high\, with a high proportion of them leading to serious pollution and prosecution.
\n \nReliability problems and poor performance of net work pumping installations are often caused\, or e xacerbated by\, ill-informed decisions taken right at the start of the planning stage. Design change s during construction that are not properly consid ered by the designers\, and subsequent changes are also a major cause of failures as are poorly cons idered upgrading or refurbishment schemes.< /p>\n \n
To help to address the problem\, the Water Research Centr e (WRc) is publishing a new manual which describes the complete design process\, pointing out the im plications of each decision. Resilience is conside red at each stage with the development of continge ncy plan a key part of the design process.< /p>\n \n
This se minar will outline the common causes of many of th e problems experienced with wastewater pumping sys tems as well as providing an overview of the new m anual and the significant changes to approach that are advocated by it.

DESCRIPTION: \n \n \n \n Wastewater network pumping systems ar e only a small part of the sewer network\, yet the y have a disproportionate impact on the performanc e of many sewerage systems\, due to poor hydraulic performance\, poor reliability\, odour complaints \, bacterial corrosion and short asset lives . The environmental impact of failures is also high\, w ith a high proportion of them leading to serious p ollution and prosecution. \n \n \n \n Reliability problems and poor performance of network pumping i nstallations are often caused\, or exacerbated by\ , ill-informed decisions taken right at the start of the planning stage. Design changes during const ruction that are not properly considered by the de signers\, and subsequent changes are also a major cause of failures as are poorly considered upgradi ng or refurbishment schemes.\n \n \n \n To help to address the problem\, the Water Research Centre ( WRc) is publishing a new manual which describes th e complete design process\, pointing out the impli cations of each decision. Resilience is considered at each stage with the development of contingency plan a key part of the design process.\n \n \n \n This seminar will outline the common causes of ma ny of the problems experienced with wastewater pum ping systems as well as providing an overview of t he new manual and the significant changes to appro ach that are advocated by it.\n \n \n \n Speakers\ n \n \n \n Nick Orman\n \n \n \n Nick is a Charter ed Civil Engineer and Water and Environmental Mana ger\, and Principal Consultant with WRc\, speciali sing in the design\, rehabilitation\, management a nd operation of drain and sewer systems.
