SUMMARY:Protective Coatings and Manhole Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:Description\n \nThis training will cover protective coatings as well as inflow and infiltration solutions to extend the service life of water and wastewater infrastructure. During the first hour\, participants will learn about proper surface preparation\, coating selection based on substrate and chemical resistance\, and strategies to prevent premature corrosion in steel and concrete structures. It will walk through a clarifier project at a wastewater treatment plant\, a manhole rehabilitation project\, and a potable water storage tank project as well. \nThe second hour (which is only being offered for wastewater credit) will address identifying and correcting inflow and infiltration (I&I issues)\, including manhole rehabilitation techniques such as repairing mortars and epoxy linings to protect against hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas deterioration. Real-world case studies\, industry standards\, and cost-saving methods will be discussed to help operators improve system efficiency and longevity. \nPlease note that the first hour of this training will cover protective coatings and is applicable to both water and wastewater. The second half will review manhole rehabilitation which is applicable to mainly just wastewater operators. \nCredit\n1 TCH for Water\n2 TCH for Wastewater \nInstructor\nRick Goyette (Sherwin Williams Protective & Marine Division) \nProctor\nAllison Smith (Vermont Rural Water Association)
