Stormwater Management for Improved Water Quality Workshop

Water quality is crucial for public health. To maintain water quality at the source, surface water quality must be given due attention. Both the point and non-point sources of pollution must be controlled. How to achieve water quality standards by effective stormwater management particularly by controlling pollutants in the discharge from urban areas is the focus of this practical course. Y......
 

To apply effectively the seismic provisions of the National Building Code of Canada NBCC05, structural engineers need a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of earthquake engineering including ground motion seismology, structural dynamics, concept of capacity design, inelastic behaviour of various materials, and seismic design and detailing. This course provides an opportunity to learn t......
 

To provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how: �Alberta Environment developed the Risk Based Tier I & Tier II Guidelines. �To determine the need for SSRA �To conduct an SSRA �To apply the Guidelines to different exposure pathways �Use the Johnson and Ettinger Model to develop risk based standards for vapor intrusion into buildings fron contaminated soil and ground......
 

Membrane processes such as reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) are playing an increasingly important role around the world, and Canada is no exception. The installed RO capacity in Canada has more than doubled in the last five years alone. If you do not already operate such a system now, it is likely you will in the not-too-distant future. Membrane technologies are now found across a w......
 

Multi-unit and single-family residential building repair has become a large industry in Ontario. Assessment of the major repair needs and application of design and construction standards geared to new constriction for repair of existing buildings can be complicated and if incorrectly applied can result in poor quality and perhaps unsafe repairs. The seminar will explore various building designs......
 

The integrity of appropriate fire protection systems and equipment in a facility is essential to minimize risk to personnel and to protect the facility and equipment within the facility. This course examines equipment associates with: a) protecting personnel (alarms, emergency lighting, etc.) in the event of a fire and b) minimizing the impact of a fire on equipment and property (sp......
 

The deterioration of concrete structures is a very serious problem. Despite the catastrophic and tragic failures of some North American concrete structures, there is currently a lack of guidelines and procedures for assessing, testing, classifying and prioritizing preventive and corrective action to initially mitigate the deterioration and ultimately restore concrete structures to safe, service......
 

To provide a clear understanding that appropriately designed and constructed equipment and associated piping are essential for safe, reliable and cost-effective plant operation; and that they must be operated and maintained within their respective design envelopes to safeguard plant integrity. To enhance participants�awareness of key requirements of relevant design and operation standards a......
 

The Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulation 851 “Industrial Establishments�was amended in October 2000, requiring that a professional engineer’s report be prepared whenever a process or equipment addition or modification involves any of the following: flammable liquids, safeguarding devices, rack or stacking structures, risk of ignition or explosion, dust collectors, molten o......
 

This course explains the power system and discusses how to improve power transmission reliability in an effort to reduce the occurrence of power outages. The course reviews the power system fundamentals that apply to generation, transmission and distribution. It discusses the stability and reliability issues involved in an interconnected power system and the operation of the grid. The present r......
 

Two important topics in power systems engineering will be covered in this two-day course. Power system neutral grounding plays an important role for the safety of personnel, detection of faulted elements, and preservation of power system and equipment. The types/methods of system neutral grounding used in industrial plants are comprehensively covered in the first part of the course. The se......
 

De-regulation of the electricity markets is sweeping across the world. There will be increasing opportunities for highly efficient power generating plants, such as combined cycle and co-generation, to compete against the older plants of established utilities. These new plants are environmentally friendly and more than twice as efficient as the older fossil and nuclear generating plants. Inde......
 

This course will provide an overview of pharmaceutical water systems. Rules, regulations, guidelines, and regulatory expectations will be presented. Impurities in feed water supplies will be discussed. A "unit operation" approach will be used to discuss pretreatment techniques, ion removal techniques, storage, and distribution. Regulatory concerns will be addressed as each unit op......
 

This three day course is designed to provide non-engineering petroleum industry professionals with a thorough overview of most key aspects of petroleum engineering technology and its applications. The course addresses engineering issues ranging from initial involvement with explorations to production optimization challenges. The sessions will focus on relevant and practical issues, and will inc......
 

Engineers have an inherent role as creators and managers of new technology. Intellectual property - that is, patents, trade secrets, industrial designs, trade-marks and copyright- are basic proprietary rights that play an important role in the day-to-day work of professional engineers. As such, engineers should have an understanding of the different forms of IP and the underlying law that gover......
 

A growing number of coastal areas of the world’s oceans are being deprived of dissolved oxygen at an alarming rate. These areas, considered aquatic dead zones, are expanding on a global scale and severely threatening marine life. The negative economic impact on fisheries, tourism, industrial jobs, decreased property values, reduction in species diversity and public health costs can be severe. S......
 

Municipal wastewater treatment needs a suitable combination of techniques and processes to achieve the best results. This seminar is designed to provide the user with a solid understanding of the most important principles and practices of this discipline. The topics include municipal wastewater characterization and treatment, using both established conventional and advanced treatment technologi......
 

Logistics involves the management of the movement, protection and storage of product from supplier to the end customer. The goal of this course is to develop a working knowledge of the methods currently in use to ensure that the right quantity of the right item is in place at the right time and at the right price. Topics include quality, customer service, supply chain management, transportati......
 

The assessment of on- and off- property impact of pollutants is usually handled by means of transport and dispersion models. These models continue to become more complex as the accuracy with which they can simulate pollutant impact increases. Increasingly regulators are looking to newer models to simulate impacts for use in the Approvals process and in the assessment of incident risk. In partic......
 

An understanding, by Engineers and Technicians of all disciplines, of the basic concepts that underlie the application of Mechanical Engineering practice, is of benefit to both the individual and the industry in which the individual is employed. The procurement, installation and operation of equipment is often under the control of Engineers and Technicians who, although qualified in their own ......
