Laterals Good Practices

Course Description

The Laterals Good Practices Seminar is a one- to two-day course* that addresses jurisdictional, design and installation issues, as well as available techniques for maintaining, rehabilitating and replacing sewer laterals and connections, using case studies, field data and surveys results in support of findings and recommendations for developing an effective laterals program.

The laterals course covers the following topics: an introductory overview of what sewer laterals are and why they present an important problem; methods of locating and inspecting of laterals, condition assessment and decision making regarding necessary repairs, options for trenchless rehabilitation or replacement of laterals; bid documents; legal and financial issues. Most attention is given to a detailed description of rehabilitation methods, review of relevant issues (before, during or after construction), and experience gained in case studies.
 
The laterals course content is based for the most part upon a two-year research study led by the TTC and sponsored by the Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF). However, new data and findings are continuously being incorporated into the course material as they become available.
