On-site training
Plumbing, Fire-Extinguishing and Sanitation Installations
Description

This course is intended to present installations for transporting and distributing water inside buildings, covering such a wide field as the installations for plumbing, fire-extinguishing and sanitation. Hence, this covers both the foundations for calculating these installations and the dimensioning, equipment used, assembly and the legislation currently existing in this field. The idea is to envisage all these installations jointly, through their common nexus in Fluid Mechanics, though not forgetting the particularities proper to each of these.

Apart from this, this course has a modular structure, so that its content can be given jointly or separately, depending on the needs. For this reason, and as an example, the present version "a" indicates the full subject matter; version "b" indicate the subject matter corresponding to plumbing and fire-extinguishing installations and version "c" the subject matter dealing only with plumbing installations.
