Student shell get a overview about the significance of technical equipment network in the contemporary society and fundamental information about system and components of particular networks. He shall get acquainted about connections and cohesion between particular networks, and some more detailed information about function, planning and operating of pipe networks similar to those water management ones – gas and heat piping. From the constructional point of view he shell make acquaintance with building materials and principal building processes of particular networks, especially in their underground placing. Having frecuented he should be able, after some brief amendments of knowledge, to find job in gas and heat supply branche.

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

The study of recommended websites of the manufacturers and suppliers of pipe materials, fittings and valves. Study of national and European standards.
