Diploma in Collection Construction with Official Exam : Level 4

Diploma in Collection Construction with Official Exam - Level 4

This course is Endorsed under Quality Licence Scheme (QLS)

The Diploma in Collection Construction at QLS Level 4 will focus on whitewater collection. Wastewater collection refers to the systematic collection of the used water from homes, businesses and industries in order to transport it to wastewater treatment points. This process or system is also called as the sanitary sewer. All houses or structures that have running water incorporated within have to be connected to a proper wastewater disposal system. The main aim of treating wastewater is to control water pollution and to remove toxins from wastewater before releasing it to surface waters.

The wastewater collection system is a very important concept for the society. Without a proper water disposal and treatment system, society will face many critical issues. However, the construction and maintenance of a wastewater disposal and treatment system is no easy task. It involves many rules, hazards and hard work.

The Diploma in Collection Construction at QLS Level 4 will provide learners with a thorough knowledge that will guide you with regards to collection construction. Learners will have insight into wastewater collection by learning about gravity sanitary sewers, flow monitoring, flow capacity, flow infiltration and inflow and dye testing. The course will also teach about low pressure system description and operation. Learners will understand hydraulic principles, general pumping fundamentals and pump categories. Additionally, learn about CMOM programme, its elements and audits and space entry programme, permit, its duties and responsibilities.
