Description
This workshop is intended for those who require better understanding of water distribution systems design. You will be expected to complete a water distribution system design under instructor guidance by using first principle methods and/or design aids. A workshop on Water Cad software will be conducted under instructor's supervision, you will also receive a limited edition version of Cad design software package.
Target Audience
Municipal engineers; public works directors; city engineers; superintendents of operations; water distribution system managers; safety inspectors and procurement officers from municipalities; consulting engineers; technicians and technologists; construction contractors and other individuals who need a basic understanding of water distribution system design .
Special Features
- You will receive comprehensive course notes with all design charts, graphs and data that will serve for future use; and a fundamental reference book on Hydraulic Engineering.
- You will also receive training on one of the top commercial software available in the market for the design of water distribution systems.
- You will receive a limited edition (academic version) of WaterCAD, SewrCad and StormCad package

Instructor
 Dr. Gamal Abdelaziz, P.Eng, MSc. has a Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada.
Currently he is a senior civil engineer with SAGA Engineering, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Former adjunct professor at Ryerson university, Toronto, Ontario. He has over 30 years of experience in geotechnical and structural engineering, foundation design, teaching, research and consulting in Canada and overseas.
His current duties review and finalize the design of water systems, pump stations, water supply, sanitary and storm sewer systems. He is teaching water resources courses for last 15 years. He designed and delivered more than 50 courses on water resources, and they are very well received by practicing engineers in Canada and globally.
Dr. Abdelaziz is a former adjunct professor at University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada, visiting professor at Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada and part time professor at Seneca College, Toronto, Canada.
Dr. Abdelaziz is specialized in numerical modeling for solving sophisticated geotechnical engineering problems with respect to pile foundation and the linear and nonlinear analysis of soil-structure interaction. He designed charts to predict pressures acting on tunnels, and developed analytical model for pile bearing capacity prediction.
Dr. Abdelaziz authored a number of technical papers and delivered numerous internal and external workshops on various geotechnical and Municipal engineering topics. Dr. Abdelaziz has been involved in a number of projects in Canada and overseas, such as tunneling, silos, buildings, retaining structures, siphons, irrigation networks and many other civil engineering projects in terms of design and construction.
Dr. Abdelaziz is a member in different professional societies such as APEGGA, PEO, CGS, CDA, TAC and ABPA. He is also a reviewer for the Canadian Geotechnical Journal.
