MCRT Infrastructure Project Training Modules

The MCRT Infrastructure Project is funded by the Government of Manitoba in partnership with Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba. The purpose of the project is to provide engineers, geoscientists and other professionals and decision-makers with advanced knowledge and skills in climate change adaptation and mitigation.

PIEVC Risk Assessment

Infrastructure Climate Risk Assessment – featuring the PIEVC Process

Understanding climate risks to infrastructure is a key first step in adapting to a changing climate. Infrastructure designers, managers, operators and decision makers must assess climate vulnerabilities and risks and identify actions and priorities to ensure our infrastructure is resilient. Using Manitoba-themed example projects and case studies, and focusing on the PIEVC risk assessment process, this course outlines the main steps on conducting a climate change risk/resilience assessment on infrastructure systems.

Natural Infrastructure Solutions

Natural Infrastructure Solutions to Enhance Climate Resilience

Natural infrastructure is becoming a mainstream option for enhancing the climate resilience of built infrastructure and communities. In Canada, a diverse range of natural infrastructure solutions have been used to address climate change hazards. This course provides a basic understanding using sustainable/natural infrastructure/innovative solutions to build resilience to climate change. A diverse range of nature-based solutions, implementation considerations, and their co-benefits are presented in this course.

Codes, Standards, and Regulations

Introduction to Climate Change Through Codes, Standards, and Regulations

Codes, standards, and regulations are changing in response to and in anticipation of climate change. Organizations across the world are updating existing standards or writing new ones to prepare society for extreme weather and changing climate conditions. The intention and purpose of this course is to have all participants understand the role that is played by Codes, Standards, and Regulations regarding climate change adaptation and mitigation for infrastructure, water and wastewater, and building construction.

Geothermal Engineering and Energy Modelling

Introduction to Geothermal Engineering and Energy Modelling

There is increasing demand on design professionals everywhere to understand Ground-Source Heat Pump (GSHP) technology and to know how to incorporate it in their projects. In conjunction with geothermal design, energy modelling plays an important part of the design process to ensure accurate understanding of the building operation and energy loads, and how this in turn affects geothermal system sizing. This course is both an introduction to geothermal engineering and to the importance of energy modelling in its proper design and implementation.
