Contribute with your work as an expert engineer in sanitation networks and become an essential professional in this area"

Although the sanitation network is sometimes the most neglected phase of the integral water cycle, the large number of corrective interventions that this system has been requiring with the increased demands of users, has led to an intense technification of the elements of these networks. 

This Postgraduate certificate develops in depth and in a practical way the functionalities of the different elements that are part of a sewerage network. Thus, the student will be able to size and select the most appropriate equipment for the design or reform of a new network.

In order to maximize the useful life of a sanitation infrastructure, the correct execution of the work is of vital importance. Therefore, during the program, the most relevant aspects to be taken into account during the construction phase will be presented, showing a tool to prioritize the renewal of the network through asset management.

In the same way, the topics related to pumping stations (EBAR) are included, which will allow to know in depth these critical facilities in the system. Its content includes from the arrival works to the electrical and maneuvering equipment, describing the necessary aspects for their operation and maintenance. 

Due to the emerging need to protect population centers from heavy meteorological precipitation, the Postgraduate certificate will include information on rolling mills and storm tanks. This allows it to be at the forefront of this type of solutions increasingly demanded in the water infrastructure master plans of major cities around the world. 

On the other hand, the keys related to the monitoring, inspection and cleaning of the sewage network will be fully developed to provide the sewage network professional with the necessary knowledge to implement and manage an effective maintenance plan for the network. In addition, information on network design is included, from system layouts to the most commonly used materials and special parts, and finally, the most widely used calculation and modeling software in the sector is presented: SWMM. 

The Postgraduate certificate is completed with a subject on the computer tools necessary to support the management of the sanitation network. With these transversal tools and the detailed knowledge of the elements that compose it, the student will be able to carry out the tasks of the engineer in charge of the sanitation network.

The academic excellence that will accompany you throughout the program will help you get your career off the ground"
