General information about Division


The Division of Municipal Engineering is part of the Institute of Civil Engineering at Wrocław University of Technology. It was set up towards the end of the 1960s by the late lamented Prof. Jędrzej Kuczyński. Ever since, the group has been involved in teaching and research on problems in the field of the construction of communal and subterranean infrastructure in urban areas.


The scope of theoretical and pratical research covers:

- modern methods of constructing and maintaining infrastructure networks (sewage, water supply and gas) - in particular methods not involving excavation;

- computer aided design of infrastructure networks;

- methods of surveying, describing and assessing the state of sewage pipes, strategies for their exploitation and technical repair, data bases on networks;

- constructions used in communal infrastructure, both under construction and already existing (e.g.: containers, sewage treatment and water processing plants, drains and subterranian pipes, constructions within networks, multi-conduit tunnels);

- subterranean urban constructions, both under construction and already existing (underground car parks and garages, pedestrian underpasses, passages, communication tunnels, metro);

- the repair and conservation of existing subterranean constructions – including their construction and insulation.

 

The group carries out research and other commissions on behalf of industry and various national organisations. It also cooperates with firms offering services in the field of urban civil engineering, as well as offering technical advice, expert inspections, studies and design. The group includes certified construction engineers and building experts. When required, experts from other fields join the research team according to the needs of a specific problem.

At present, the group is headed by Prof. Cezary Madryas, a nationally certified building expert (in the field of general constructions and subterranian urban infrastructure constructions, listed in position 108/97 of the National Register of Building Experts and position 2/97/RZ of the Regional Register in Wrocław, Region of Lower Silesia).

The promotion and implementation of modern technology and technical solutions in civil engineering, together with enabling the flow of information between academics and engineers in the construction industry, are among the most important tasks and goals of the group. The organisation of an annual one day meeting and a larger two day conference, which occurs every three years, is aimed at achieving these goals. These meetings take place each November at Wrocław University of Technology under the title of „Subterranean Urban Infrastructure".

 

 

The members of the group have published many scientific articles and academic textbooks, among which the following should be mentioned
