The front lines of engineering are shifting and growing every day. Stay ahead of the curve on some the fastest-evolving technologies in North America with this set of workshops offered jointly by the UAlberta Faculty of Extension and the Consortium for Engineered Trenchless Technologies (CETT).
Combining hands-on applications with real-world situations, the Trenchless Technologies series helps students to build an understanding of trenchless construction and technology within applications geared for the oil and gas, telecommunications, and infrastructure industries.
Workshops also offer concepts to maximize material selection and procurement, streamline construction, and increase output while minimizing disruptions and risk. Geotechnical considerations and related construction innovations will also be covered.
This series includes completion of the Horizontal Directional Drilling (EXCPE 4781) three-day course with any combination of four additional Trenchless Technologies workshops, for a total of five courses. These additional workshops range from one to three days in duration. Each workshop is designed to stand alone in providing specific skills. Workshops can also be taken together to provide students with a comprehensive skill set in Trenchless Technology.
Once the five workshops have been completed, students can request an official Trenchless Technologies Series Record of Achievement. Letters confirming or recording attendance may be requested for individual workshops.
Our students come from a wide range of employment sectors, including private, governmental, and educational organizations. There are no prerequisites or entrance requirements to take the workshops in the series.
Offered jointly with the Consortium for Engineered Trenchless Technologies (CETT).
1- to 3-day workshops held in Edmonton.
No prerequisites.
