Melioration and drainage of urbanized areas 1300-OMOTZP-GGG

The purpose of the practical course is to familiarize students with:
- hydrogeological conditions of performing drainage,
- classification and division of drainage of construction sites, needs and cases of their application,
- methods of foundation excavation drainage and calculation models,
- administrative procedures defining the necessity of preparing water law certificates,

- calculation scheme and design of wellpoint drainage on the example of calculating the inflow volume to a linear excavation divided into sections,
- calculation scheme and design of well drainage in options with and without excavation casing,
- possibilities of excavation protection with sheet pile walls or diaphragm walls and assessment of inflow volume to a construction excavation,
- types of sewage systems and methods of transport route drainage,
- designing infiltration wells and retention-infiltration devices.
