The pipe lies securely embedded on both sides in front of you. Time for the final check before it completely disappears into the ground. You place the spirit level and check the gradient one last time with your measuring stick. Still flawless. You have done good work; the trench can be closed.

Contents of the training

Whether a small residential building or a huge paper factory, almost all construction projects have one thing in common: they require a functional drainage system. And that’s where you come in. As a Sewer System Builder, you are an expert in rainwater, fresh water, and wastewater, and you install various channels and pipelines on our construction sites.
Piece by piece, you construct a complex, multi-layered labyrinth of pipes underground. Depending on the area of application, pipes made of reinforced concrete, stoneware, plastic, or cast iron are used. It is crucial that you work very precisely and adhere strictly to plans and specifications, ensuring that everything flows properly through the pipelines. A few millimeters of gradient in one direction or another can make a decisive difference here. Modern surveying equipment helps you determine everything precisely. Checking for leaks also falls within your area of responsibility, as, for example, no wastewater must seep into the groundwater.
You operate a variety of machines for installing channels and pipes. This includes everything from angle grinders and vibratory plates to large excavators and wheel loaders. After installing the pipeline and pipe systems, it is also your job to close the road again. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about exclusively working in the trench: the work is quite varied and offers a lot in both practice and theory.
