Industrial Engineering
The main objective of organizations enrolling in short courses is to improve the efficiency of engineering processes and the quality of resulting products. Industrial engineers make use of work force, technologies, materials and financial resources to make sure production processes reach their set targets. They use their technical skills to understand how various engineering structures work and how to apply business knowledge to increase productivity.
At Avvy Group, we train, mentor and coach engineers working in your organization.
Our courses are;
The duration of training ranges from 2 - 10 days and depends on the course and country.

Civil and Structural Engineering
Civil Engineering is a branch of Engineering that deals with the design and construction of the artefacts of civil use: civil and industrial constructions, transportation infrastructure, bridges and tunnels, hidro-technical utilities such as dams, aqueducts and sewage systems, structures in seismical areas and others.
At Avvy Group we have successfully married Civil and Structural Engineering to Information Technology to come up with a program we call Civil Engineering Information Technology (CEIT).
Our CEIT programs and their functions are;
HDM-4
This is a World Bank approved software application for;
InfraWorks 360™
An application for Creating Data Rich Models for designing infrastructure eg;
TRANSYT™
A software application used for;
......everything from individual isolated junctions to large and complex Road networks
GIS for Roads and Highways
Helps you Map, Plan, Monitor and Manage strategic infrastructure more effectively

Our water engineering courses' key objective is to emphasize on the use of ICT in water resource management and overall to protect water quality. The courses are practical and been employed overtime in the UK and our objective as Avvy Group is to disseminate this knowledge to developing countries around the world.
Our main course in water resource management is the use of Quantum Geographical Information System (QGIS).
We have 'christened' this course as "Intelligent Water Resource Management (iQ.G.I.S)".
What is GIS?
A Geographic Information System or GIS is a computer system that allows you to map, model, query, and analyse large quantities of data within a single database according to their location. GIS gives you the power to:
GIS is a tool used by individuals and organizations, schools, governments, and businesses seeking innovative ways to solve their problems. GIS stores information about the world as a collection of layers that can be linked together by a common locational component such as latitude and longitude, a postal zip code, census tract name, or road name. These geographic references allow you to locate features on the earth's surface for analysis of patterns and trends. Dozens of map layers can be arrayed to display information about transportation networks, hydrography, population characteristics, economic activity, and political jurisdictions.
GIS in Water Resources Management
Geographic Information System technology, more commonly referred to as GIS, has been used for many years to develop solutions to water resource problems including;
What is Quantum GIS or (QGIS)?
Quantum GIS (QGIS) is an open source geographic information system (GIS). This robust software is a free alternative to proprietary GIS software like ESRI products which are oftentimes very expensive. What's nice about QGIS is that it incorporates very similar functions and features as its closed source counterparts by using a congruent graphical user interface (GUI).
The GUI allows users to display, manipulate and create spatial data. It supports a variety of spatial data file extensions (.shp, .tif, .csv, .img, etc.), and is compatible on Linux, Unix, Mac, and Windows operating systems.
How does Quantum GIS benefit Governments?
For years, data has correlated to a specific point in space. American pioneers, for example, used landmarks so they had a reference while traveling. As society progressed, more and more spatial records were turned into digital formats, making paper maps a thing of the past.
Spatial data collection is a fundamental part of many municipal, county, state and governments. To better coordinate sharing of those records, millions of dollars have been spent to create and maintain spatial data sets at all governing levels. These are things like delineations of river boundaries, land ownership parcels, and soil type polygons, to name a few.
Most of this data was created in order to visualize data and to better inform the decision making process. QGIS is a powerful tool that enables you to do just that. It uses spatial data to derive a simple solution.
For water operators it also serves a variety of core functions:
