[Saice] Water Engineering Courses

[Memory Scheepers]

Course 1: Analyses of Transients Pressures in Pipelines 


Course Date: 19 to 22 January 2009 

Description
The course will focus on the analysis of transients in pipe systems.
Transient pressure assessment is a crucial part of the pressure class
selection of pipes during the final design stage, preventing surge
pressures, which in numerous cases results in pipe failures. Foreseen
and unforeseen operational circumstances can result in undesirable
pressure conditions that should be analyzed for new pipelines,
assessment of the upgrading of existing systems and determining the
influence and risk associated with planned operational changes. Aspects
that will be discussed are the basics of transient flows, calculation
procedures, selection of surge protection devices and the use of the
SURGE2008 software (www.kypipe.com). Workshop sessions covering problems
for transient flow analysis and evaluation of surge protection options
using the software will be held. All participants will have to bring
along their notebooks on which the software will be installed. Persons
without notebooks can hire them through CE at UP. On Thursday, 22
January 2009, sites where surge alleviating equipment has been installed
will be visited. 

Who should attend?
Planners, designers and managers of pipelines and water infrastructure
will benefit from the course.

Course 2: Pumping Station Design 


Course Date: 26 - 28 January 2009

Description
The background theory and design practice of pumping station design will
be highlighted. Typical practical problems will be discussed and
delegates will be guided through the solution. Various hydraulic and
mechanical aspects of pump stations will be discussed related to the
planning and design phases. Pump selection and dimensioning of the
components and pump station layout including: sump design,
superstructure, lighting, ventilation and control. 

Who should attend?
Persons in the planning and design of pump stations should attend this
course.
