Course image" BE-02 Installation of Water Pipes, Drains and Wewers Using the Open Cut Method
Course image
Learning unit summary:

This course includes tutorial services and a final examination.

The installation of water pipes, in particular, drains and sewers is worldwide in large part performed using the open cut method. This at first glance "simple" construction method is actually highly complex when used in urban areas and at large depths. The numerous boundary conditions, shoring-, and installation systems require extensive technical knowledge in order to ensure a high quality workmanship.

The course consists of 5 modules on the following topics:

  1. Geotechnical and hydrogeological Principles
  2. Utility Trench Construction
  3. Embedment of Piping
  4. Installation of Pipes
  5. Occupational Health and Safety around Excavations

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Identify and apply the main rules and regulations;
• Differentiate between soil types, to identify the effects of particle shape and particle size distribution on the soil properties, to assess the ground state with respect to its bulk density and soil consistency;
• Identify the different manifestations of water in the subsurface, understand the effect of free moving underground water as a form of water permeability of the soil, and determine the water permeability of soil;
• Determine the requirements for planning, tendering and construction of the utility trench along with the required shoring components and materials;
• Identify various ways of constructing unlined trenches safely and within regulation;
• Identify the various shoring/lining systems along with their limits;
• Describe the open cut method of pipe installation;
• Identify and assess construction errors;
• Implement occupational health and safety measures for the open cut method.

Learning unit summary:

Lining methods for the renovation of sewers and pipes represent the largest group of renovation methods. In the case of the lining processes self-supporting full linings of sewers are produced on the basis of prefabricated pipes, locally manufactured pipes and locally manufactured and hardening pipes. The subject of this course is "Lining with Cured-In-Place Pipes (CIPP)" and " Lining with Spirally-Wound Pipes".

In addition to the description of the procedure and process, the course deals in particular with the areas and limits of application, advantages and disadvantages as well as possible remediation errors and quality assurance options.

The course contains didactically prepared expert knowlege in 5 modules:

  1. Lining with Cured-In-Place Pipes (CIPP) - basics

  3. Lining with Cured-In-Place Pipes (CIPP) - Details on the Installation of UV Cured-In-Place Pipes
  4. Lining with Cured-In-Place Pipes (CIPP) - final work, acceptance, renovation defects
  5. Lining with Spirally-Wound Pipes with Stationary Winding Machine without Reinforcement made of Metal or Plastic

LEARNING OUTCOMES

                

After successfully completing this course, you will be able to

  • Name and apply the most important rules and regulations
  • Name lining methods, their areas of application and limitations as well as their advantages and disadvantages
  • Select suitable lining methods depending on damage and boundary conditions
  • Coordinate sampling and material testing
  • Identify the causes of refurbishment errors and describe quality assurance options
