BūvZ3146 [GBUV3147] Water Supply and Sewerage part II
Water supply & sewerage engineering networks are of primary importance for each building where people are living, remain for a longer time, or make economic activities. In the course students should get knowledge about the history and development of water supply and sewerage systems, the content of these modern systems, problems of sewage utilization and solving of them as well, constructions of devices and working principles of them, required project documentation for realization
Knowledge - familiar with theoretical issues related to water supply and sewerage systems. Skills - can make the selection of water supply and sewerage system elements. Competence - can calculate, and evaluate the consequences of possible incorrect operation of systems, can plan the sequence of system construction works, safety, and perform quality control. Assessment- test.
1 Elements of the sewerage system, and their functional significance. Lect. 2h .
2 Calculations of the amount of wastewater. Lect. 2h; pr. w. 2h
3 Hydraulic calculations of the sewerage network. Lect. 2h; pr. w. 2h
4 Pumping of wastewater. Lect. 2h.
5 Structures for mechanical wastewater treatment. Lect. 2h

8 Composition, volume, and approvals of project documentation. Lect. 1h; pr. w. 4h
Part-time extramural studies: All the topics intended for full-time studies are covered, yet the number of contact hours is ½ of the specified number of hours.
Students should acquire successful valuation in theoretical offsetting.
Students should acquire sufficient knowledge using presentations given in lectures and study of additional professional literature.
Course assessment will be:
10 (brilliant), if the trainer doesn’t show any unmet requirement in course work and the student answers offsetting questions correctly
9 (excellent), if there are minor errors and inaccuracies in course work and student answers offsetting questions correctly
7 good), if there are minor errors and inaccuracies in course work and student answers offsetting questions almost correctly
6 (almost good), if there should be made corrections in course work and student answers offsetting questions almost correctly
5 (mediocre), if there should be made important corrections in course work and student answers to one offsetting question correctly
4 (almost mediocre), if there should be made essential corrections in course work and student answers to one offsetting question almost correctly
3 and less (unsuccessful), in course work exists override of requirements of normative and significant errors and student’s answers don’t match the theme, what about offsetting questions are.
To get credit, the rating must be at least 6.
