Version
3.0
Offered by
Supply Engineering
ECTS
5
Prerequisites
Qualifying exam for the Climate and Supply Engineering study program.
Main purpose
The purpose of the course is to provide ÈÕº«¸£ÀûÍøÖ· the understanding of basic concepts within road constructions, including pipe design and dimensioning. Furthermore, the ÈÕº«¸£ÀûÍøÖ· will receive introduction to CAD programs used for geometrical design of roads and other infrastructure planning.
Knowledge
After completion of the course, the student must have the knowledge of:
• Road types and planning
• Traditional asphalt types and use of these in road constructions
• Dimensioning of pipes for drinking water
• Pump types
• Pump dimensioning
• Stormwater handling
Skills
After completion of the course, the student must have the skills to:
• Perform analyses and road planning in rural areas
• Determine design parameters for a road project
• Propose relevant design of a cross section
• Describe elements within a cross section, including drainage principles for roads in rural areas
• Describe where pipes and cables are placed in a cross section
• Dimension road pavement structures based on the catalogue method
• Use MicroStation for geometrical design of a roads cross section
• Setup and prepare road drawings for print
• Dimension drinking water pipes
• Select and dimension pumps
• Determine network structure
• Setup drawings (plans and longitudinal profiles) including pipes
Competences
After completion of this course, the student must have the competences to:
• Determine a roads lay-out in regards to Danish Roads Standards and place pipes and cables in a road
• Dimension utility pipes based on demand
• Select pump type
• Dimension the selected pump
• Design optimal pipe network structure
