I´m one of the author of the wastewater curricular in 2002.
A group of 6 people from the social partners (Union and employer group) worked on that paper. I was in the employer group.It took us 1,5 years to finish the work.

The curricular from 1984 was updated. At that time it took 12 years to get all the different interest group under one umbrella.

What was new in 2002?
More electrical work, more monitoring and control of the processes, more sewer system topics like CCTV inspection, less metal work.
