Utility Management and Construction Sites - ENGEES

General description Objectives (September to January - 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

Teaching units specific to the Utility management and construction sites semester
S9 EXPLOIT - Operation of Systems	Know the components of the operation of a drinking water or sanitation service. Management of drinking water supply and sanitation networks to ensure their sustainability Drinking water supply : - Current and specific works, technical management of the network, planned maintenance, malfunctions, intervention methods - Structure, description and operation of the network - Repairing, leaks management, planned maintenance - Rehabilitation, malfunctions - Public domain - private domain - metering - Connection of new works - disinfection - stopping the service - Interventions: modalities, dangers for the personnel Sanitation : - Management of the network, the main disorders, cleaning, danger for the operating personnel - Technical monitoring of the network, - Importance of planned maintenance, - Punctual operations, repairs, origin and consequences of the main disorders, deposits in networks: origin, management of cleaning, fate of residues, inventory of dangers for personnel.	4	32	32
S9 PILOT - Service Organisation and Expertise	To provide the knowledge and tools to understand and appropriate, through case studies, the multidisciplinarity necessary for the analysis of management performance and the requirements of the regulation of public water and sanitation services	3	26	26
S9 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.	3	30	30
S9 GESPAT - 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.	3	30	30
S9 REALTRAV - Contracts for the Public Sector	Be able to carry out a civil engineering project from the design phase to the execution phase	3	24	24
S9 GC3 - Civil Engineering - Project Construction / Network Implementation	Investigations and geotechnical studies specific to foundations: The objective of the course is to develop the theoretical approach necessary to secure a foundation. Construction of networks - A part devoted to the techniques of installation of networks (formwork, trenches, compaction...) - A part devoted to the calculation and implementation of the roadway (implementation, load transfer calculation, geosynthetic). Foundation calculations Investigations and geotechnical studies specific to foundations: The objective of the course is to develop the theoretical approach necessary to secure a foundation	3	28	28
S9DIAGOUV - Diagnostics and Rehabilitation of Water Storage Infrastructure	Carry out a diagnosis and rehabilitate water storage facilities and become aware of the management of already existing drinking water and wastewater storage facilities	3	24	24

Common core

Teaching Units	Details	ECTS	Number of teaching hours	Number of teaching hours (apprentices)
S9 ACV - Life cycle analysis	Advanced project management, Life cycle analysis	3	28	28
S9 PROJPRO3 - Career Exploration and Professional Development 3	Job preparation, Professional forums, Professional project support	0	30	30
S9 RHM3 - Personal and Professional Development 3	Management and Leadership level 3	3	18	X
S9 PROTUT - Tutored Projects	The tutored project is a group work (3 students per team) carried out by 3rd year student-engineers that responds to a professional problem of a company or community on a wide variety of 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. An agreement signed between the company/community and the school frames the scheme. Skills : - Implement and deepen your skills in a professional context in group work - Work on a project to understand and respond to a business need - Project management: identification of deliverables, tasks, blocking points, management of project progress - Become aware of innovation	4	34	34
