Course abstract

Study course gives knowledge about planning and technological documentation of construction site processes. Calculation of labor input of construction process. The main principles construction site production processes – arrangement of construction site, logistic processes, production of excavation works, drilling works and pile works. Planning of construction site production.

Requirements for awarding credit points

At the end of the study course, the student must pass a test with a mark. Test - independent individual work in the classroom, where the student develops a technological map for the types of construction work considered in the program, calculates the workload, compiles a calendar time schedule, including the load schedule of construction workers and construction machines.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Independently gets acquainted with the construction legislation applicable in Latvia, as well as with the application of State standards regarding the quality of construction works, studies the latest books, periodicals and Internet resources.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The student is able to prove the acquired knowledge and skills about the issues discussed in the course program (by answering control questions). Distribution of course evaluation: tests 60%; practical work 20%; homework 20%.
