Course abstract

The aim of the course is to give students basic knowledge in industrial construction, production process classification, classification of buildings. Students get knowledge about enterprise spatial planning, including subsidiary structures and premises of enterprises, their area calcluations. Students are introduced with general plans of industrial territory and technical shemes of buildings
