About This Course
This 4-CEH/PDH course examines wastewater collection-system performance and resilience in coastal Florida conditions, including inflow and infiltration, high groundwater, sea-level and tidal boundary effects, lift-station continuity, force-main constraints, and rehabilitation prioritization.
Learners use monitored flow, rainfall, groundwater, tide, station data, inspections, and an integrated fictional case to distinguish plausible pathways, design investigations, compare interventions, and build a phased capital program with explicit uncertainty and verification.
The course is intended for Florida professional engineers working in civil, environmental, wastewater, and coastal infrastructure practice. It concludes with a 10-question multiple-choice final examination. A score of 70% is required to pass; retakes are permitted until passed.
