Managing noise in a soil and waste project

Introduction

This short CPD course looks at the issue of noise generated from soil and waste installations, looking at its causes, its effects and how it can be controlled and reduced through considered design and the correct product specification.

Chapters

Chapter 1

Chapter one introduces the topic of noise and its impacts.

Chapter 2

Chapter two covers the causes and accepted levels of noise, and the difference between airborne and structure borne sound.

Chapter 3

Chapter three deals with the common design challenges faced by designers and specifiers.

Chapter 4

And finally, chapter four explains why Wavin’s acoustic soil and waste systems have become, worldwide, the most installed low noise plastic system. 

At the end of the course, you’ll find a short questionnaire to check your learning and complete your certificate.

Design and Construction Guidance for foul and surface water sewers

Introduction

Complete our new e-learning module to get up to date with key changes in the latest mandatory Design and Construction Guidance (DCG) for adoptable foul and surface water sewers that came into effect in April 2020. This guidance is for use by developers when planning, designing and constructing foul and surface water drainage systems intended for adoption under a section 104 agreement.

This training module will get you up to date with key changes in the latest mandatory Design and Construction Guidance (DCG) for adoptable foul and surface water sewers that came into effect in April 2020. This guidance is for use by developers when planning, designing and constructing foul and surface water drainage systems intended for adoption under a section 104 agreement.

Chapters:

Chapter 1 - pipes

This chapter will cover how the new Design and Construction Guidance applies to pipes and their use as part of foul and surface water drainage systems intended for adoption under a section 104 agreement.

Chapter 2 – Inspection chambers

There are also some changes affecting inspection chambers which are highlighted in this chapter. These changes regarding specification are small but important.

Chapter 3 – surface water

The changes to surface water are some of the most significant changes in the new code. Chapter 3 explains what these changes are and their implications for adoption of surface water components by WASCs.

Chapter 4 – Geo cellular tanks

As part of the new code geo-cellular tanks are now included as adoptable assets. This chapter discusses the key requirements and the six criteria that a developer will need to comply with in order for it to be adopted by the water company.

Chapter 5 – links

In this chapter you will find some useful links to find further information on the new code.

Q-Bic Plus in adoptable applications

Introduction

This informative e-learning module will introduce Wavin’s Q-Bic Plus attenuation tank and outline its benefits for use in adoptable applications. It will also explain how it is compliant with Ofwat's Design and Construction Guidance and offers class-leading access for inspection and maintenance.

Chapters

Chapter 1

We will start by giving you an introduction to Q-Bic Plus and some broad guidance notes to tick off when designing geocellular tanks.

Chapter 2

Next we will go into more details about  Q-Bic Plus and specifically the benefits delivered by its modular design

Chapter 3

Seeing is believing, so we’ve created a short video demonstration which shows a side-by-side comparison of how fast Q-Bic Plus is to install versus standard Geocellular crates. Specifically, take note of the built-in hand grips, the non-handed design, ensuring each unit is always correctly orientated

Chapter 4

We will then look at inspectability of a geocellular tank, and with the most open tank design on the market, Q-Bic Plus enables simple and effective maintenance, ensuring optimal tank capacity and performance throughout its lifetime

Chapter 5

In this chapter we will look at accessibility and how the access points of a Q-Bic Plus tank are fully configurable. Wavin is the only supplier able to offer brand leading options in both clay and plastic adoptable drainage pipe systems, so designers can select the optimum solution for the ground conditions of each project.

Once you have completed this course there will be a short questionnaire to test your understanding. Upon completion of this you will be able to download a certificate for your own records.
