Overview

This online course covers the requirements of the National Standard, CAN/CSA S500 for design and construction of a thermosyphon foundation system when identified as a design objective and prepares participants to design and construct a new structure built on permafrost with a thermosyphon stabilized foundation.

Course participants will develop an understanding of thermosyphon technology, including its main strengths and limitations when used in foundations in permafrost environments, the main steps in the thermosyphon foundation design and construction and commissioning process; key activities involved in the maintenance of thermosyphon foundations, including how to spot and what to do in the case of potential performance issues.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to identify and respond to potential challenges involved with thermosyphons and explain the limitations of thermosyphon foundations based on site conditions and intended service life of the structure.
