Introduction to Civil Engineering for Process Designers

The overall challenge of each generation that takes over responsibility for a drain and sewer system is to construct new wastewater collection systems or to expand already existing ones, and to inspect, repair, renovate and replace, or rather adapt, them to the strengthened groundwater and water protection standards. The primary objective of all measures has to be the creation of a fully operational and long lasting drain and sewer system. This is created to transport the wastewater safely and efficiently between the producers of wastewater and the wastewater treatment plant. Furthermore, rehabilitation and maintenance work should be easy to carry out. Thus, sound expertise is required in planning, construction, operation and maintenance. This module teaches the most elementary basics needed for a comprehensive design of an integral drain and sewage framework.
