Water and Sewer Reticulation Design and Construction for Townships

New housing and township developments live or die on reliable water and sewer networks below the ground. This course takes delegates through the design principles and construction of reticulation networks that connect stands to the bulk system. It is set firmly in the African context of rapid settlement growth, mixed ground conditions and the need for affordable, maintainable networks.
