The CoP 6 modules provide a summary of the roles and responsibilities for the effective operation and maintenance of installed PFR measures to the designed level of resilience.
The training aims to ensure that the course attendees are clear on all roles and responsibilities for all stakeholders in the Operation and Maintenance processes. The attendees should understand what product information to capture and record throughout the life of the PFR products, be able to identify when product maintenance and/or replacement is required and/or the flood resilience has changed from the design. They should also understand where and why post-flood investigations may be applicable following a flood event, and how to successfully undertake these inspections, including inspection requirements for each individual PFR measure and the system as a whole.
Please note make sure you have completed the Foundation Training before booking CoP6.
