Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
The course will comprise a general and specific roles and applicability
of how the GIS & Mapping can optimize the operation and maintenance
of the Water Network (Transmission and Distribution). This course will
tackle different relative disciplines and corresponded issues like; GIS
& GPS Functionality in Water Network (Transmission and
Distribution), Geographic Coordinate System & Scale, Projected
Coordinate Systems, Geodatabase of Water Network (Transmission and
Distribution), Acquiring Data & Data Collection of Water Network,
Water Network (Transmission and Distribution) Mapping Methodology, The
Role of the GIS/Mapping in Optimizing the Operation and Maintenance of
the Water Network, and International Case Studies & Best Practices
World Wide. Moreover, this course will cover the GIS role in the field
force automation (FFA) and control/monitoring systems.
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
- Understand, and gain experience on how the GIS and mapping can play a significant role in the sector of Water Network (Transmission and Distribution).
- Particularly, in the optimization of the operation, regular maintenance, predictive maintenance, proactive maintenance, pipeline and piping inspection, repair in a manner that follows international best practice and be aware of the kind of tools appropriate for each corresponding task.
- The course will cover the most advanced techniques used in data collection, data processing & handling, state of the art GIS and mapping modules applied in that context.
- Furthermore, the course will cover also the cutting age technology applied in the geo-database and scheme of the Water Network (Transmission and Distribution) affiliated with slandered attributes.
- Noteworthy, the GIS role in the field force automation (FFA) and control/monitoring systems will be explained. Moreover, significant best practices and tangible case studies will be discussed in details as well.
