224-0254 – Design of Underground Constructions (PPS)

Objective of the course in terms of learning outcomes and competences is to provide students with knowledge of designing underground works in all their complexity, starting with investor intent, feasibility studies, approval processes, solution of conflicts of interest, selection of contractors, valid legislation, design and realization phases of construction according to observation principles method, control activities, the final execution of the work, the operational circumstances of use and maintenance, the liquidation of the underground construction after the end of its use. The student acquires knowledge and overview of basic processes and contexts governing the construction and use of underground work that are the basis for applying BIM in the category of underground work construction.

The content of the subject is the knowledge of the main processes, which includes the construction cycle of the underground work, starting with the developer's intention to construct the work, feasibility studies, approval processes, solution of conflicts of interest, selection of contractors for environmental research, project elaboration for realization of the work, construction phase, connection of the construction site to the engineering networks and transport infrastructure, construction, inspection activities of the investor, designer, contractor and mining authority during construction, documentation of the actual execution of the work. Knowledge will support the preparation of the project in the BIM environment.
