Linear Works Improve People's Connectivity. Bet on this field of engineering and take a step forward in your profession"

This Postgraduate certificate in Linear Works includes all the information necessary for the construction of roads and railways. It will detail the latest generation construction methods for viaducts or tunnels and will review the latest advances in machinery and new technologies applied in the sector.

In this way, students will be able to learn about the most relevant works that can be presented under the heading of Linear Works, in order to continue with the development of the different works that must be carried out for the successful completion of each project.

The earthmoving work necessary for the execution of a linear work will be described, with special mention of the type of machinery to be used depending on the terrain to be encountered, planning and management of earthmoving equipment, control of the work carried out using topographic methods and drone technology, and the quality control necessary for the performance of these tasks.

Within this type of Linear Works, the importance of the drainage of this type of infrastructure will also be explained, providing a series of guidelines that will be very useful for the optimization of the result of the work.

In addition, for the analysis of the foundations defined in each project and in order to determine their suitability, a study of the structure of the geotechnical studies found in each project will be carried out in order to analyze it and optimize the solutions that have been determined.

Depending on the type of linear works, the most characteristic elements of each one of them will also be studied, with topics such as the signaling of each infrastructure and the railway track devices, following the latest advances that are being applied in this sector.

In short, TECH takes the student through theoretical and practical knowledge to a higher level of teaching, and shows him another way of studying and learning, more organic, simpler and more efficient. TECH will work to keep you motivated and to instill in you a passion for learning. And it will push you to think and develop critical thinking. 

This program is designed to give you access to the specific knowledge of this discipline in an intensive and practical way. A great value for any professional.
