RIBA-approved CPD at T-T

Since 1959 T-T have been dedicated to making fundamental information surrounding pumps, valves, controls, pumping stations and environmental equipment accessible to all. Our RIBA-approved Pumping Stations CPD brings you comprehensive pump station knowledge, available from the comfort of your own office (or ours!). The CPD Seminar – approximately 45 minutes long and delivered by our expert technicians – is interactive and informative, focusing on a variety of pumping station topics such as:

  • The entire pumping station design process, from initial conception, to installation, to commissioning.
  • How to choose pump station components for optimal performance in different applications.
  • Pump station maintenance requirements and best practice for extending the life and reliability of your equipment.
  • Relevant legislation and guidance across England, Wales and Scotland.
  • The different components within a pump station; such as valves, pumps and other fittings.
  • The regulatory design requirements of an adoptable pumping station.
  • What to expect during the adoption processes of an adoptable pump station.
  • The regulatory design requirements of a private pumping station.

Topics covered

T-T's Continual Professional Development covers all areas needed for a comprehensive understanding of pumping stations, their functionality, design considerations and long-term maintenance. Browse the range of topics below:

PUMPING STATIONS

T-T has vast experience in providing pumping systems – from the smallest to the most complex schemes. Due to the environmental sensitivity of effluent handling and drainage, selecting the most suitable pumping station is vital. Simplifying and sharing our expertise will ensure you have the comprehensive knowledge needed to complete your project. Topics include:

  • What is Sewers for Adoption/Design and Construction Guidance?
  • UK Water Authorities – England, Scotland and Wales
  • Considerations for sustainable construction

PUMPS

With over 58 years of experience in the pump industry, T-T is fluent in all types of pump models and their uses. Attendees of the seminar will understand how to choose the most efficient and reliable pump to ensure long-term benefits for both the pumping station and the environment. Points to be discussed include:

  • What is a submersible pump and how do submersible pumps work?
  • Different types of pump impellers and their suitable applications
  • Mounting systems – what are guide rail systems and auto-coupling?

VALVES

Valves are a vital component of a pumping station, with their design and positioning having a major impact on the operating standards of your drainage and effluent handling processes. During the CPD, different kinds of relevant valves and their uses will be discussed, including:

CONTROLS

Our in-house team of knowledgeable sales staff, proficient design engineers, skilled wiremen and thorough test engineers have come together to discuss the important role of control panels within pumping stations. The CPD will include information on:

SERVICE

As an owner/operator of a sewage or drainage pumping station, you will want peace of mind that your station is efficient and environmentally friendly, avoiding unexpected breakdowns and costly legal repercussions. T-T’s seminar will ensure that you have the necessary information to choose appropriate servicing and maintenance to prolong the running life of your system. Areas covered include:

Why Choose T-T's CPD course?

Year-on-year more residential, commercial and industrial buildings are needed to match the UK’s growing communities and businesses. These buildings need facilities (such as bathrooms and kitchens), and these facilities need a suitable waste management system to remove wastewater/sewage generated by the building’s occupants.

As the demand for infrastructure increases, so does the demand for pumping stations and professionals who know their way around them – inside and out, from conception to commissioning. T-T’s Pumping Station CPD gives professionals the opportunity to update their existing knowledge so that it reflects the latest developments in legislation, regulations, and industry standards.

For attendees newer to the world of fluid control, our seminar will provide essential pumping station information (covering functionality, design, installation, operation and maintenance processes) needed to ensure optimal product selection and effective aftercare.

Gain expertise that are highly sought-after in the construction industry, all while developing your professional portfolio, with a CPD seminar approved by industry leaders the Royal Institute of British Architects.
