Construction of the Fala – Grad Water Reservoir

The diploma thesis presents the construction of the Fala-grad water reservoir, which is only part of the entire inter-municipal project (between the municipalities of Ruše and Lovrenc na Pohorju). The water reservoir is also only part of the entire water supply network that provides people with clean drinking water. The theoretical and practical parts are presented. These phases are: preliminary works, earthworks, concrete works, carpentry works, façade works and finishing works. Every construction project needs to be thoroughly planned.

Problem

The diploma thesis presents the construction of the Fala-grad water reservoir, which is only part of the entire inter-municipal project (between the municipalities of Ruše and Lovrenc na Pohorju). The water reservoir is also only part of the entire water supply network that provides people with clean drinking water. This is essential and required by law.

The diploma thesis covers all phases of construction.

Solution and Method

The theoretical and practical parts are presented. In the theoretical part, the investors, general information about drinking water supply, the history of water supply networks, materials used in construction are described… The practical part covers the actual construction, which was presented with photographs and explanations.

The construction was monitored through all phases.

Results

These phases are: preliminary works, earthworks, concrete works, carpentry works, façade works and finishing works. Every construction project needs to be thoroughly planned. This means planning in terms of time or schedule, finances, and how many and which workers and machines are needed for construction.

A work schedule and an estimated financial plan were also prepared, although the latter is not precise because it was prepared for the entire inter-municipal project.
