What to Bring
To make the most of this training, please bring the following:
Fully Charged Mobile Phone: As we'll be downloading nine helpful app calculators via QR codes displayed throughout the two-day workshop, please ensure your phone is fully charged and able to scan QR codes (usually through your camera app).
Optional Note-Taking Materials: While you're welcome to bring a notepad and pen, we've found that focusing on the screen and engaging with the material is more beneficial than taking extensive notes.
Digital Notes Provided: Comprehensive PDF notes covering everything presented on screen will be emailed to you after the course, along with a link to download them from Dropbox. Please download these files promptly, as they will be available for two weeks following the course.
What to Wear? Dress casual, no PPE required
Your Questions: We encourage active participation and discussion, so please come prepared with any questions you have about water and wastewater systems.

“This is a must do for younger engineers interested in pumping systems 🥼 Its also well worthwhile for experienced engineers. Its a great refresher on hydraulic principals. The real world examples shared is invaluable 🥇 The real nugget of gold is the course material📖 that is shared after the training. A great set of examples for future reference and to help experienced engineers explain hydraulic principals to younger engineers.
