Investigation is the first of four fundamental measures within the scope of integral sewerage and drainage management. It should cover all performance aspects of the drainage system to an appropriate extent in order to establish the foundation for assessing the performance of the drainage system. The obtained results serve as evidence of compliance with due diligence and, in particular, as a basis for planning all activities related to operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation. The focus is on the structural investigation of drainage systems and addresses various options for condition assessment.

The course consists of 7 modules:

1. Investigation to Determine the Structural and Operational Condition of Drain and Sewer Systems
2. Geotechnical Investigations
3.  Geophysical Site Investigation
4. Inspection from the Inside for Qualitative Condition Assessment
5. Inspection from the Inside for Quantitative Condition Assessment
6. Application of Coding Systems Using the Example of EN 13508-
7.  Coding of damages (findings), their causes, and consequences

This module provides an introduction to the first of the four basic activities within the framework of integral urban drainage management according to EN 752, the INVESTIGATION. It is intended to cover all performance aspects of the drain and sewer system to the appropriate extent in order to provide the basis for the subsequent assessment of their performance. Therefore, this module provides an overview of the required investigation steps, collection and review of relevant information, and procedures for investigating the structural and operational condition of drain and sewer systems.

This module teaches the basics of geotechnical investigations for civil engineering purposes. The described subsoil investigation by indirect (e.g., drilling methods) and direct exploration methods (e.g., dynamic sounding) form the basis for an understanding of a civil engineering description and evaluation of soil and rock.

This module teaches the basics of geophysical soil investigation and is to be understood as a supplement to the module "Geotechnical Investigation". Geophysical measurement methods belong to the indirect exploration methods and allow statements regarding local inhomogeneities in the pipeline zone (e.g. bedding defects, cavities, disruptions, concrete encasements) or, in the case of investigations of existing sewers and pipelines, statements regarding the condition and load-bearing capacity of the embedment. In addition to ground or georadar (EMR - electromagnetic reflection), which is well-known in pipeline construction and rehabilitation, the measurement methods seismic, seismic tomography, air gun seismic, magnetics, electromagnetics and geoelectrics are also introduced.

This module provides a comprehensive overview of direct and indirect optical inspection methods like CCTV for qualitative condition assessment of pipelines and sewers as well as manholes. In terms of content, the module thus belongs to the topic block "INVESTIGATION", the first of the four basic activities within the framework of integral urban drainage management according to EN 752. The optical inspection procedures presented here provide an essential basis for assessing the performance of the drain and sewer system or for developing the rehabilitation plan.

This module gives an overview of methods of inspection from the inside for quantitative condition assessment. It is to be understood as a supplement to the module "Optical inspection from the inside for qualitative condition recording" and thus belongs in terms of content to the topic block "INVESTIGATION", the first of the four basic activities within the framework of the integral urban drainage management according to EN 752. The procedures presented here provide an essential basis for the assessment of the performance of the drain and sewer system or for developing the rehabilitation plan.

This lesson builds on the module "Application of coding systems using the example of EN 13508-2" and introduces the coding of damage (findings) for sewers and drains. In more detail, the causes and consequences of damage are explained for the damage and, in some cases, the damage mechanisms are presented as well.
