COURSE TITLE: An Introduction to Survey Methods and Techniques
COURSE NO: A03-009
An Introduction to Survey Methods and Techniques
Course Highlights

This online engineering course provides an overview of past and present instruments and methods used to perform topographic surveys of sites, facilities or infrastructure. Prior to the advent of total stations, GPS, LIDAR, and data collector systems, transit and plane table topographic surveying methods and instruments were once a standard.

 

Transit and plane table topographic surveying methods and instruments are rarely used today, other than perhaps for small surveys when a total station or RTK system is not available. However, the basic field considerations regarding detail and accuracy have not changed, and field observing methods with total stations or RTK are not significantly different from the older survey techniques briefly described in this course.

 

This 3 PDH online course is intended for civil engineers and professional land surveyors interested in learning about methods and techniques for land surveys.
Learning Objectives

This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Learning about transit tape topographic surveys
  • Understanding how to approach transit-stadia topographic surveys
  • Knowing when to employ transit/theodolite and electronic distance measurement (EDM) instruments
  • Understanding the history of plane table surveying and how it is used today
  • Learning about the development of total stations and how they are used
  • Understanding how real-time kinematic GPS systems are used today

COURSE TITLE: Basics of Site Work
COURSE NO: C03-046
COURSE PROVIDER: Mark Rossow, P.E.
Basics of Site Work
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course describes the basic operations required to prepare a construction site before foundations can be poured and walls erected.  Site surveys, including construction surveys and the use of appropriate surveying instruments, are discussed first.  Then earthwork operations such as pioneering, grubbing, stripping, and drainage are introduced.  Soils testing is discussed.  Finally the permitting process, including utility interruption requests, excavation requests, and road closure requests is described.

 

Site work involves the preparation of the construction site before pouring foundations or erecting walls. It begins with site surveys using specialized surveying equipment and methods. This is followed by obtaining building permits for various aspects of the project, working closely with local authorities. Once that work is underway, site and building layout begins. Leveling and grading are key components in building sound structures, taking into account the types of existing soils to determine whether soil stabilization is required before construction begins.

 

This 3 PDH online course is intended for civil and environmental engineers, land planners, and others whose seek a basic, introductory knowledge of the principles of site development.

Learning Objectives

This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Understanding the types of and needs for permits

COURSE TITLE: Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
COURSE NO: C04-057
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH offers steps for planning how to prevent and contain stormwater pollution. It offers a step by step guide on what should be included in the plan, as well as helpful tips for how the plan can be maintained, adhered to, and exceeded in order to ensure a high level of quality.

 

Stormwater runoff is water from rain or snowmelt that does not immediately infiltrate into the ground and flows over or through natural or man-made storage or conveyance systems. When undeveloped areas are converted to land uses with impervious surfaces such as buildings, parking lots, and roads, the natural hydrology of the land is altered and can result in increased surface runoff rates, volumes, and pollutant loads.

 

This course provides useful tips about maintaining a SWPPP, as well as examples of and foresight into what can go wrong with various different kinds of materials which are commonly found at industrial sites. This includes solids, liquids, and waste. It also provides useful information on how to effectively and efficiently handle stormwater discharge in the event that control measures fail, and information on monitoring pollutants in stormwater discharge.

 

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to industrial, civil, environmental, and sustainability engineers as well as others interested in gaining a basic understanding about developing a stormwater pollution prevention plan.
Learning Objectives

This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Understanding what causes stormwater pollution and its effects on the environment
  • Learning how to prevent and contain stormwater pollution
  • Learning how to develop a stormwater pollution prevention plan in order to be in compliance with a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit
  • Learning how to analyze the particular pollutants in your stormwater discharge

COURSE TITLE: Integrating Green Infrastructure into Local Hazard Mitigation Plans
COURSE NO: C02-082
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Integrating Green Infrastructure into Local Hazard Mitigation Plans
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides basic information on how communities can integrate green infrastructure into their Local Hazard Mitigation Plans.

 

Communities across the United States are facing a variety of challenges, from outdated infrastructure, to water quality protection, to the need to increase community resilience and mitigate the impacts of flooding and other hazards. These communities are looking for multi-purpose solutions to these challenges.

 

Green infrastructure is one approach to improve water quality and address flooding challenges. Green infrastructure yields many benefits, including improved water quality, reduced flooding, infrastructure cost savings, and healthier communities. While green infrastructure alone may not fully address these issues, however, it adds capacity, flexibility, and resilience to other infrastructure systems and provides multiple community benefits.
