I am going to train our staff and Contractors on Installing Sanitation Systems in our project area. I am presently busy in preparing training module for the training which will be conducted this Thursday.
Sanitation is the means of collecting, treating and disposing of excreta and liquid wastes in a hygienic way so as not to endanger the health of the individuals and the community as a whole. Hygienic treatment and disposal (or recycling) of human wastes that does not endanger health or the local environment should be the underlying objectives of all sanitation programmes across the globe. On-site sanitation systems will remain a popular low-cost solution for the foreseeable future, as conventional off-site options are usually much more expensive.
As a consequence of poor on-site sanitation, local water sources are condemned in that they are polluted with faecal coliforms and are then unsafe for the purposes of cooking or drinking. It is fundamental to address these issues when implementing on-site sanitation systems, as well as the often neglected downstream effects of improper treatment or disposal.
Sanitation standards in pre-tsunami Aceh were poor in general. There is generally a fair understanding of the effects of poor sanitation in the community, although experience suggests there is a lack of awareness that practical sanitation alternatives do exist. This may be the reason why it ranks so low in peoples minds
We are building 1765 houses and repairing another 338 houses in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar Districts. My team is installing Septic Tank systems with Tertiary filtration facilities in all these houses. As of now, 4 Construction Firms were selected to construct 420 Complete Septic Tank Systems and another 726 Septic Tanks.
Since the technology is very new to the area, there is a requirement for contractors to get proper training and orientation regarding the septic tank system design. This Workshop is intended to facilitate the training for the Contractors as well as refresh the knowledge of the staff.
This will be a one day workshop followed by two days of demonstration. The tentative schedule will be:
Basic Concepts
Design
Construction
Demonstration on the site
Demonstration and Conclusion
