Course Description

Watercourse crossings in Alberta are mainly regulated by five pieces of legislation. This course presents the intent of these standards and their key features. As people learn what the requirements are for specific watercourse types, they will be better prepared to choose the correct crossings, install them competently and ultimately reduce your legal liability. The size of crossing structures is often underestimated - resulting in crossing failure during the first spring runoff. This causes both environmental damage and a direct economic loss. In order to design a crossing to handle peak flows, one must understand the characteristics of the watershed above the crossing. This course will provide the industrial user with an understanding of hydrological factors that affect the crossing design.

This course is delivered in partnership with Northern Lakes College and Woodland Operations Learning Foundation (WOLF https://www.w-o-l-f.ca/ )
