Newfoundland and Labrador Civil & Ethics/Regulatory 30 PDH Discount Package

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on the removal methods of deteriorated concrete structures as well as guidance on materials and methods to repair or rehabilitate the structure. Guidance is also included on maintenance of concrete. A basic understanding of underlying causes of concrete deficiencies is essential to perform meaningful successful repairs.

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to civil, geotechnical and structural engineers, as well as design and construction personnel working on construction projects involving evaluation and repair of concrete structures.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on details of concrete curing practice as they pertain to construction of Portland cement concrete pavements. It is organized around the major events in curing pavements: curing immediately after placement (initial curing), curing during the period after final finishing (final curing), and termination of curing and evaluation of effectiveness of curing.

Curing has long been recognized as an important process in constructing durable concrete pavements. Proper curing allows the concrete to develop its potential strength and durability. Inadequate curing can result in surface damage in the form of plastic shrinkage cracking, spalling, and erosion of paste. Since many variables influence the choice of curing materials and when and how to apply curing, the material presented places particular emphasis on attention to details with respect to moisture retention and concrete temperature control.

This 5 PDH  online  course is applicable to civil, structural and geotechnical engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the design and installation of concrete pavements.

This online engineering PDH course discusses the most common guidelines on the design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP).

Continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) was introduced in the United States almost 100 years ago when the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads (now the Federal Highway Administration) constructed a CRCP test section on Columbia Pike in Arlington, Virginia. Since then, CRCP has been constructed in many states in the U.S. and in a number of other countries. As experience with the design and construction of CRCP has grown, a variety of lessons learned through practical experience and research have contributed to the development of best practices for CRCP throughout its life cycle.

Today, CRCP is designed and constructed as a pavement of choice for long-life performance, recognizing that initial smoothness will be maintained for decades and that maintenance during that time will be minimal.

This online engineering PDH offers steps for planning how to prevent and contain stormwater pollution. It offers a step by step guide on what should be included in the plan, as well as helpful tips for how the plan can be maintained, adhered to, and exceeded in order to ensure a high level of quality.

Stormwater runoff is water from rain or snowmelt that does not immediately infiltrate into the ground and flows over or through natural or man-made storage or conveyance systems. When undeveloped areas are converted to land uses with impervious surfaces such as buildings, parking lots, and roads, the natural hydrology of the land is altered and can result in increased surface runoff rates, volumes, and pollutant loads.

This course provides useful tips about maintaining a SWPPP, as well as examples of and foresight into what can go wrong with various different kinds of materials which are commonly found at industrial sites. This includes solids, liquids, and waste. It also provides useful information on how to effectively and efficiently handle stormwater discharge in the event that control measures fail, and information on monitoring pollutants in stormwater discharge.

This online engineering PDH course provides basic information on how communities can integrate green infrastructure into their Local Hazard Mitigation Plans.

Communities across the United States are facing a variety of challenges, from outdated infrastructure, to water quality protection, to the need to increase community resilience and mitigate the impacts of flooding and other hazards. These communities are looking for multi-purpose solutions to these challenges.

Green infrastructure is one approach to improve water quality and address flooding challenges. Green infrastructure yields many benefits, including improved water quality, reduced flooding, infrastructure cost savings, and healthier communities. While green infrastructure alone may not fully address these issues, however, it adds capacity, flexibility, and resilience to other infrastructure systems and provides multiple community benefits.

This online engineering PDH ethics course presents the principles of engineering ethics and statutes for Newfoundland and Labrador Professional Engineers.

Engineering ethics is (1) the study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and (2) the study of related questions about moral conduct, character, ideals and relationships of peoples and organizations involved in technological development (Martin and Schinzinger, Ethics in Engineering).

This course will address the principles of engineering ethics that every engineer is expected to live by when practicing their profession. This course also provides an overview of PEGNL’s general statutes and regulatory laws. It will also present unique ethical studies randomly selected to demonstrate ethical challenges for professional engineers and alternatives to address these challenges.
