You will learn how to perform effective maintenance of installations based on a combination of corrective and preventive maintenance, with emphasis on predictive maintenance"

Highways are an indispensable part of the transportation network, both for people and goods. These transportation routes have been indispensable since the origins of civilization, since they encourage the progress of peoples.

This program covers fundamental concepts, including the different treatment of opencast installations compared to tunnel installations, due to the peculiarities of this type of infrastructure. Finishing this initial topic with an approach to predictive maintenance that, in spite of having been discussed at a theoretical level for some years now, has not yet been implemented on the roads with the same intensity as it has in other sectors. This type of maintenance has obvious advantages both in terms of sustainability, mainly because if it is correctly designed it will require fewer resources and the useful life of the equipment will be increased, and in terms of availability and reliability of the installations.

The student will then have to master the different types of installation, basically divided into three large blocks:
Electrical installation block. It includes the lighting, the power supply installation itself, as well as the power supply support systems.
Mechanical installations block. Also with a strong electrical component, it includes ventilation, pumping stations and fire protection systems.
Block for other installations: with special mention to the particle and gas filtering stations due to their relevance to environmental protection.

As main tools, the topics that make up the module have updated technical information, real case studies and of great interest. Always without losing sight of the digital transformation that everyone is going through and in which the road world is no exception.

In addition, as it is a 100% online course, it provides the student with the ease of being able to take it comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality in accordance with the current times with all the guarantees to position the professional in a highly demanded area such as road construction.
