Surface Water and Integrated 1D-2D Modelling with EPA SWMM5 and PCSWMM Workshops

Johannesburg, South Africa 

October 17 - 19, 2017


OVERVIEW

We are pleased to announce 3-days of hands-on training workshops on EPA SWMM5 and PCSWMM.

Learn the theory, time-saving tools and practical hands-on applications of hydrologic and hydraulic modeling for stormwater, wastewater and watershed systems, with special emphasis on system design, system remediation, green infrastructure (LIDs), integrated 1D-2D and flood modeling. You can register for the full 3-day workshop, the 2-Day (Introduction and Intermediate) or just the 1-day advanced workshop on integrated 1D-2D modelling.

The workshops build on each other. Depending on your interest and level of experience, you can choose which days you would like to attend and earn up to 3 CPDs. 

All attendees will be provided with a full 60-day software license of PCSWMM Professional 2D, as well as the EPA SWMM5 software and access to an extensive collection of online learning materials and all digital course documentation.


 


COURSE CONTENT

Day 1: Beginner

Designed with the beginner in mind, Day 1 focuses on introducing the theory, concepts and tools available for EPA SWMM5 modeling. Lectures are interspersed with real-world hands-on exercises, with plenty of time for one-on-one interaction with the instructors.

Day 2: Intermediate/advanced 

Day 2 focuses on progressing your existing skills and diving deeper into the capabilities of EPA SWMM and PCSWMM. We explore green infrastructure (LIDs, SuDS) and water quality modeling, as well as stormwater reuse and natural system modeling.

Day 3: Advanced 1D-2D

Day 3 focuses on intermediate and advanced level topics with emphasis on integrated 1D-2D model development and results interpretation for urban flood analysis.


INSTRUCTOR

Chris Brooker BSc(Eng), MSc(Eng), PrEng has been a consulting engineer specializing in environmental water related subjects and hydraulic structures since 1982. In 2001 he opened a practice in South Africa offering specialist consulting services mainly to other consulting engineers. He is an external examiner and Honorary Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The University of the Witwatersrand, and occasional external examiner and visiting lecturer in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pretoria. Chris has authored numerous journal papers and conference presentations.

Onno Fortuin, B Eng, GDE, Pr Eng​ is a consulting engineer with over 20 years experience implementing mining projects throughout South Africa.  In 2008, Mr. Fortuin opened a practice providing consulting services with a focus on environmental and surface water engineering.  Since then he has had the opportunity to apply PCSWMM and EPA SWMM5 in a wide variety of advanced mine surface water modelling applications. Mr. Fortuin is a member of the Engineering Council of SA and the SA institution of Civil Engineering. 

Robert Fortuin, B Eng, EIT​ graduated with distinctions from the University of Stellenboch, Western Cape in 2013 and is currently employed with Onno Fortuin Consulting as a consultant specializing in mining and environmental engineering. Robert has been working with PCSWMM for the past three years and has assisted in a wide range of modeling applications including mining projects, waste water treatment design, integrated SWMP models, dam design and feasibility studies.
