General description Objectives (September to December - level Master 2)

The aim of this thematic semester is to expose engineering students to the problems of operation, daily management and project management of services and systems such as a sewerage network, treatment or flow management.

The semester consists of 9 teaching units that can be divided into three groups:

  • Four teaching units are devoted to the management of services and systems. Beyond the reactive or programmed technical management of drinking water and sanitation systems, students are made aware of the analysis of governance and performance of services. The application of risk analysis methodologies (HACCP, FMEA, etc.) completes these system analysis tools. Finally, the presentation and application of infrastructure asset management methodologies will complete the training in operations.
  • Three teaching units dedicated to works. These deal with the phasing of operations (from design to completion of the work), the regulatory context, dimensioning or diagnosis (foundation calculation, load transfer, etc.) and specific work (sinking, micro-tunneling, etc.). There is a strong development in the diagnosis of storage structures (tanks, reservoirs, basins, etc.). 
  • All the lessons are complemented by the completion of a real technical project entrusted by a company, enabling students to develop a response to the needs of a client. In addition, the thematic semester includes basic training in standardisation processes and labour law. 

Coordinator: Jean-Bernard Bardiaux

      NORMAL - Standardisation and Risk Evaluation

      The objective is to open up the field of competence of engineering students beyond the technical field. Thus, the proposed courses refer to management in the broadest sense, more precisely to organisation (water service/sanitation/decentralised services) and more particularly to the definition of management systems addressed by the various standards. Two aspects seem relevant:

      1) knowledge of the normative environment and sectoral standards more specifically 

      2) the implementation of these standards by explaining the role of the engineer in this type of project, support, accompaniment and participation. 

      The other aspect related to management concerns the field of risk and the highlighting of existing risk management approaches which contain a managerial dimension but also a strong technical dimension.

      GESTPAT - Management of Potable Water Stewardship and Sanitation

      Students will acquire the general principles of infrastructure asset management and its application to water networks on the one hand, and to sewerage networks on the other, and will be led to construct a global reflection in terms of technical, economic and social sustainability, starting from the network approaches towards a more integrated approach to urban water management. The “mini-project” will allow a first approach taking into account all the dimensions of asset management.

      PROTUT - Technological Project/ Company Project

      The tutored project is a group work (3 students per team) which responds to a professional problematic of a company or community on very varied subjects. A teacher-researcher supervises the students' work to guarantee the scientific validity of the project. The project is monitored jointly by the company and the school.
