Course image
Learning unit summary:

This module provides the essential basic knowledge regarding materials, sealing systems, and functions of manholes as well as requirements and methods of connections to manholes. With regards to road catch basins, their function and types of construction are explained, as well as the possibility of using these systems for decentralized solids retention. The content concludes with stormwater basins and how they are differentiated in terms of function, type, drainage system and layout.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Functions of and requirements for manholes, as well as materials and sealants used;
  • Types of construction and main components of road catch basins, as well as the type of connection to the sewer or manhole;
  • Requirements for connections, as well as variants of connection to manholes;
  • Differentiation of stormwater basins in terms of their function, by type and drainage system, and by arrangement and tasks.
