About the project

Challenge, approach and results.

His diploma thesis presents a comparison of PP and PVC-U drainage system construction based on a practical case study. The main objectives of the diploma thesis are: to determine the best method of drainage system implementation and to describe different methods of joining individual materials. Throughout the thesis, methods of excavation during drainage construction and the implementation procedure are also described.

Solution and Method

His diploma thesis presents a comparison of PP and PVC-U drainage system construction based on a practical case study. It discusses drainage systems, methods of water discharge, elements of the drainage network and their explanation. He briefly described different pipe materials, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages in relation to location and field of application.

Design procedures and the method of selecting the correct pipe based on wastewater are described. Consequently, methods and phases of wastewater treatment are also described.

Results

The main objectives of the diploma thesis are: to determine the best method of drainage system implementation and to describe different methods of joining individual materials. Throughout the thesis, methods of excavation during drainage construction and the implementation procedure are also described. He focuses primarily on the material used in drainage construction, namely ribbed PP pipes and smooth PVC-U pipes.

The purpose is to determine the suitability of the above-mentioned materials for use in drainage construction. Viewed primarily from the perspective of work complexity and material costs. Two construction projects are presented pictorially and descriptively, in which he participated throughout the entire construction phase and on the basis of which he obtained the starting points and necessary information for the preparation of this thesis.

These two projects are: Reconstruction of the Miklavž – Hajdina road through the Miklavž settlement and pavement arrangement, and construction of the drainage network in the Dravski Dvor settlement. He wished to present the execution of works in practice on the construction site. Therefore, procedures, techniques and tools for practical drainage implementation are described.

In the Ptujska cesta chapter, procedures for preparing the bedding to the appropriate height are described, taking into account the channel laser and elevation profiles. Problems they faced during construction and how they solved them are also presented. A major role in ensuring that projects run smoothly during the execution of works is the crucial contact between the contractor and the designer and the submission of proposals from both sides.

It is also explained what the practical procedures are for joining pipes and making gully connections. When implementing storm drainage for a road whose asphalt surface together with the pavement amounts to at least 12 metres, an appropriately selected and dimensioned infiltration method is important. Therefore, in a certain part he focuses on the selection of the infiltration method.

At the end of the thesis, he made a comparison of two drainage systems and combined all the obtained data on time and costs into a table.
