Professional Certification Programs

Agentic Digital Twins for
Water Systems

Build a calibrated, cloud-running, agent-queryable model of your own system — then turn it into a decision engine. EPANET, SWMM, and HEC-RAS driven by AI agents, from automated model setup all the way to a defensible five-year capital plan.

Practitioner Tracks

Hands-on certification in agentic modeling, in two 2-day courses per track, taught live online. The same sixteen-module arc across water, sewer, and stormwater — only the engine and the use cases change. Choose the system you run.

Drinking Water Systems

Build an agent-driven EPANET model of your distribution network, then turn it into a decision engine for demand forecasting, pipe risk, and capital planning.

  • EPANET 2.2 and WNTR
  • Automated model build and calibration
  • Pipe break risk scoring
  • Risk-based 5-year capital plan
Live online 2 courses 16 modules $2,450+ per course

Wastewater Systems

Build an agent-driven SWMM model of your collection system, then turn it into a decision engine for wet weather response, condition risk, and capital planning.

  • EPA SWMM and PySWMM
  • Dry and wet weather calibration
  • Condition and overflow risk scoring
  • Risk-based 5-year capital plan

For Utility Leadership

Executive Program

A separate one-day course for the people who approve the budget and defend the capital plan. No modeling, no code, and no domain split — you oversee all three systems, so it covers all three.

1-Day Certification

AI & Digital Twins for Water Utility Leadership

Built for general managers, directors, CFOs, and boards. You learn to evaluate a digital twin investment, scope the procurement, interrogate a risk-based capital plan, and defend the funding decision to a room that has never funded software as infrastructure.

No technical prerequisites Capped at 24 participants In-person
You leave with
  • Digital Twin Readiness Scorecard
  • One-page 12-month roadmap
  • RFP scoping checklist
  • Vendor question bank

Our Approach

Beyond Dashboards & Pilots

Every module is one stage of the same build. You do not learn AI concepts and then wonder where to apply them — you assemble a working digital twin of your own system, stage by stage.

Instrumented Data

Sensor strategy, SCADA and GIS integration, and automated QA/QC that runs before any model does

Calibrated Twin

Automated model build from GIS, cloud simulation at scale, and agent-driven calibration you can defend

Agentic Analysis

An MCP server exposing your model to AI agents — forecasting, ML risk scoring, and automated design

Funded Capital Plan

Multi-objective optimized, risk-based 5-year CIP — written back to your CMMS and defended to your board

Built On Your Own System

You bring your GIS, your telemetry, and your asset records. The capstone is a working twin of your network, not a sample dataset.

Real Engines, Not Toy Examples

EPANET, EPA SWMM, and HEC-RAS — the solvers you already trust, driven by agents you build yourself.

Cloud Lab Included

A provisioned cloud workspace and compute credits ship with enrollment. Your training environment is the environment you keep.

Engineers and Leadership, Aligned

Your team builds the capital plan; your executives learn to interrogate and fund it. Both programs meet at the same CIP.

Programs & Pricing

Choose Your Path

One day in person for the people who fund the work. Two days per course, live online, for the people who build it. Practitioner pricing is per seat, per track.
