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 13508-2 7. Coding of damages (findings), their causes, and consequences The course is successfully completed after 30 hours of intensive learning units within 4 weeks. Before each topic area, you will find an introductory page that provides an overview of the learning objectives, lesson duration, and content covered. We warmly welcome you to this module and wish you success in your studies!
