Delegates may include those needing to develop their understanding of sewer deterioration and the use of CCTV condition surveys in sewer rehabilitation planning to support their current role or future career. For example, wastewater engineers; strategy managers, sewer rehabilitation managers, local Government officers and early-career sewer CCTV operators.
