Course abstract
The study course include overview about engineering drainage systems, and water control in the built-up area and new building zones, describe possibilities and alternatives to protect underground communications and structures. The course describes the new available materials and construction of the structures in land reclamation. The course includes questions about operation and maintenance of drain.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
• Knowledge and understanding of the groundwater-lowering capabilities, methods and structures built and perspective building sites, protection measures and techniques of underground communications or constructions.
• Skills to choose the engineering solutions and calculation-based measures of human life and the work environment, improvement of conditions for construction operations.
• Competence to critically evaluate the impact of land reclamation engineering measures on people's living environment, work or underground communications operating conditions, that could expand the final work and enhance its value..
