* You’ll get to grips with core theory and principles of identifying non-visible underground leaks, turning detective by using different tools, techniques, and technologies to track down and pinpoint leaks.
* Working outside in all weathers on the highway, you’ll learn how to arrange for the safe repair of the leaks by considering the risks and requirements of the repair and maintenance crews that need to excavate and repair them.
