T03 Fundamentals for Management of Hydrotechnical Hazards

Fundamentals for the Management of Hydrotechnical Hazards Course

Building upon the Fundamentals for the Management of Geotechnical Hazards course, this course introduces the management of hydrotechnical hazards as they relate to the operating and maintenance stages of the pipeline lifecycle. With a review of the main hydrotechnical hazard types and the potential impact on pipelines, the course builds upon a four-phased approach to geohazard management along with key considerations for each phase that are specific to hydrotechnical hazards. The fundamental concepts introduced in this course provide a strong foundation for building skills to address hydrotechnical events on an operating pipeline. This online course includes straightforward scenarios and self-assessments to clarify and reinforce key concepts for learners while providing individuals the flexibility to review and reinforce the material at their own pace.
