Course Overview
This course is aimed at relevant personnel who require training to complete on site-surveys of gas mains in support of the Mains Risk Prioritisation System (MRPS).
The course will build on practical experience that the surveyor has gained from carrying out a minimum of 7 days on site training with an experienced MRPS surveyor (essential).
The course aims to give the surveyor the knowledge to choose the correct surveying technique in a variety of scenarios. This will mainly be done in the field using predetermined scenarios.
A good knowledge of mathematics and some basic map reading skills are essential for the course.
The CICES regards the Survey School and the TSA "Introduction to Surveying Course" as a fundamental source of core survey knowledge and understanding and it is of immense benefit to the profession and industry. We are proud of this close association and recognise this with full course accreditation, CICES student prizes and awards, and mutual support that dates back over a decade.
