Update BE-21: New Material in Course and Modules on Trenchless Pipe Installation
Mar 26, 2024
Online training on the topic of pipeline installation in civil engineering: Trenchless technology for underground drainage construction can be a resource-efficient, environmentally friendly, time-saving, and cost-effective alternative to open cut methods. The UNITRACC e-learning course "Utility Tunnelling" has been enhanced with additional technical and visual elements related to sewer and pipeline construction, specifically in pipe jacking and microtunnelling.
New Learning Material Regarding Trenchless Technology
UNITRACC learning content is continuously updated and improved both in terms of didactics and content!
With our latest update, the E-learning course BE-21 Utility Tunneling has been completed with additional images and technical explanations.
This applies to the following modules, which are also part of the corporate training package:
- Pipe Jacking I and II
- Microtunnelling I and II
New content includes insights and visual material on design, excavation tools, defects, buoyancy force specifics, and aspects of microtunneling with hydraulic spoil removal, among others.
About the Online Course and Modules on Trenchless Pipe Installation
Given the many disadvantages associated with open cut / digging along with the growing environmental awareness of the population, it is imperative to take trenchless technologies into account in the planning and construction of pipelines and utility networks.
The course material comprises over 700 pages, featuring photographs, illustrations, animations, tables, and video material.
The estimated learning time is approximately 30 hours within four weeks.
