Official Course Description
Civil engineering projects, especially those concerning infrastructure, are a complex web of interactions on a legal, financial, economic, and technical level. Because of this, projects contain a number of interdisciplinary interfaces that project engineers must be aware of.
This is true for all stages of the infrastructure lifecycle, be it planning, construction, operation, refurbishment or dismantling. Further, the engineer requires tools to assess the book value of the infrastructure involved as well as its technical condition to decide which degree and what kind of maintenance is suitable and what techniques should be employed. The lecture aims to tackle these issues and provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate such complex and multidimensional projects.
