SUMMARY:Variable Speed Drives for Water & Wastewater  Application
DESCRIPTION:October 20th @ 9:00 am – 11:00 pm\nVenue: 253 Pascoag Main Street\, Pascoag\, RI 02859 \nTCH(s): 2 (RI DOH)\nCost: Free      \nInstructor: Rob Lax \nCourse Description:   \nThis session provides operators with a practical and in-depth look at how Variable Speed Drives\n(VSDs) are used throughout water and wastewater systems to improve efficiency\, reliability\, and\noperational control. Participants will learn how VSDs regulate pump and motor performance\,\nreduce energy consumption\, stabilize pressure and flow\, and extend equipment life by\nminimizing mechanical wear. The session will also cover essential considerations such as proper\ndrive selection\, installation requirements\, environmental factors\, harmonics\, and common\ntroubleshooting techniques. Real world examples from small and rural systems will highlight how\nVSDs can solve every day operational challenges and support regulatory compliance. By the end\nof the session\, operators will have a stronger understanding of how VSD technology integrates\ninto treatment\, distribution\, and collection system processes—and how to apply best practices to\noptimize system performance. Please ask about hybrid training options.

SUMMARY:Infrastructure Repair – A Real Deep Dive into Water\, Wastewater\, and Stormwater Problems & Solutions
DESCRIPTION:November 17 @ 8:00 am – 3:00 pm\nVenue: 95 Cripe Street\, North Kingstown\, RI 02852 \nTCH(s): 6 (RI DOH)\nCost: Free      \nInstructor: Don LeBlanc (DLVEWS)\, Marc Miller (CCI Pipe)\, Jim Dartez\n(Reliant Water Technologies)\, Chris MacDonald (CPM/BulletLiner)\, Wade Esplin\n(AvTek)\, Lucas Robinson (Cretex Specialty Products) \nCourse Description:   \nThis full-day seminar is designed for professionals who want to deepen their technical\nunderstanding and practical skills through guided instruction\, real-world demonstrations\, and collaborative practice. Over the course of 6 hours\, participants will explore proven methods\, tools\, and materials that support effective workflows in the field. While some products are incorporated throughout the training\, they are used strictly as educational examples to illustrate best practices\, demonstrate technique\, and build confidence in application. We will highlight boatloads of recent New England based projects to provide real experiences. The seminar is structured such that it will blend discussion\, instructor-led demonstrations\, and supervised hands-on exercises. Participants will have the opportunity to work directly with the tools and materials referenced in each module\, gaining familiarity with their capabilities and understanding how they perform in practical scenarios. Emphasis is placed on technique\, decision-making\, problem-solving\, and adapting to real-world conditions. We will examine aging water and wastewater piping and manhole issues as well as discuss operational issues with pump stations\, lagoons\, and other collection system and treatment facility scenarios. Please ask about hybrid training options.
