The Postgraduate certificate in Deep Foundations is academically designed to provide in-depth knowledge, based on advanced concepts already acquired in the world of civil engineering and from a practical application point of view, of the most important geotechnical aspects that can be found in different types of civil works. 

Any deep foundation has accessory elements that are important for the operation of the whole, such as the pile caps, whose dimensioning and construction is also the subject of this module.

The topics that make up this part of the Postgraduate certificate also address the limitations of this type of foundation by presenting cases of sizing and repair of Deep Foundations with faults.  

This Postgraduate certificate in Deep Foundations integrates the most complete and innovative educational program in the current market in terms of knowledge and latest available technologies, in addition to encompassing all the sectors or parties involved in this field. In addition, the Postgraduate certificate consists of exercises based on real cases of situations currently managed or previously faced by the teaching team.

All this, through a 100% online specialization that provides the student with the ease of being able to take it wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access, and you will be able to access a universe of knowledge that will be the main asset of the engineer when positioning themselves in a sector that is increasingly in demand by companies in various sectors.

This Postgraduate certificate in Deep Foundations is the most comprehensive and up-to-date educational program on the market. The most important features of the specialization are:
