This course is suitable for assisting companies in meeting their competence requirements under the CSA Z662. The content is also suitable preparation for those individuals intending to obtain a Level 4 Trenchless Technology Inspector credential.

Learning Objectives

This 4-hour course provides participants practical understanding for the design, planning, execution and inspection of pipeline construction utilizing trenchless technologies identified in sections 4 and 6 of the CSA Z662.

Upon completion participants will:

  • Gain a solid understanding of the content and practical mandatory design elements in section 4.
  • Understand the critical differences between the types of trenchless technologies used for various crossings.
  • Understand the proper establishment and approval for HDD plans.
  • Learn the project execution requirements mandated in Section 6.
  • Understand the minimum documentation, verification and record keeping requirements for trenchless installations.

Participants will receive a Certificate and/or CEU/PDH credits as applicable.

Agenda

This on-demand training contains 4 modules.

The course will address the following:

  • Scope and terminology
  • Types of trenchless technology
  • Section 4 Design and Planning requirements
  • Additional considerations for HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling)
