The article deals with the effective reduction of drinking water loss in its distribution in the territory of the model municipality in the Czech Republic. Loss reduction is a long-term process that is one of the cornerstones of the strategy of each operator or owner of the water supply system. Losses of water in water network characterize not only the construction-technical condition of the distribution system in a given agglomeration, but also one of the business cards of the operator or owner of the distributio...

The paper deals with fluctuations in water pressure and its influence on water losses in the network, depending on the time and height of the building. Water losses, depleted infrastructure life, and rising energy costs are just some of the issues that affect grid pressure. Excessive pressure increases the risk of piping rupture and water leakage in the distribution network and increases the cost of energy that needs to be spent on pumping and producing additional drinking water. Reducing the water pressure in the...

Sustainable development of the state or the city as a whole is conditioned mainly by the sustainable development of its individual parts which also include water management infrastructure containing the sewer system. The article deals with the evaluation of the technical condition of the sewer network in the municipality Zaben in the Czech Republic. The first part of the paper describes the basic information about the sewer network in the municipality, its location, condition, age, etc. This part is followed by th...

The article deals with solutions for the management and maintenance of sewer networks and prevention of failures and accidents that arise on these large systems. In connection with ensuring the reliable operation of drainage systems for the urbanized area, the most recent issue of the renewal of these large-scale systems has become more and more frequent. Many of the sewer networks and their accessories today are not only at the limit of their theoretical life, but some sewer networks have already exceeded this li...

In connection with the production and distribution of drinking water it is necessary to take into consideration the possibility of an emergency, which in this concept means undesirable effects of forces and phenomena endangering human health, property, goods, and, last but not least, also the environment. These are natural hazards and anthropogenic hazards or their combination. It is therefore necessary to eliminate at least partially these hazards and minimize their adverse effects. To eliminate hazards, a risk a...

In recent years, methods of building evaluation from the point of view of their energy management, environmental footprint, etc. have often been applied in practice and also have been involved to not only Czech legislation. This is why the owners, operators and designers of buildings are motivated to design and operate energy-saving technical solutions, other drinking water consumption. This article discusses the possibilities of using wastewater at school facilities to reduce the cost of drinking water. The paper...

The article defines the subject of facility management and its possible application in the operation of water supply networks. The operation of structures for water supply is not a simple matter, and it is tied down with the responsibility to guarantee trouble-free and safe operation with limited financial means. Reliability, Facility Management and water supply networks are supported by Czech technical standards. We are going to include some of them, as well as some important concepts, terms, and links of Facilit...

Industrial history of many places still interacts with the present time. Ostrava (Czech Republic) as former industrial city is a typical example of problems and barriers which can be found in process of regeneration, revitalization or redevelopment of areas used formerly for heavy industry. The article is focused on retrospective description of development of areas which can be known as backfields or mega sites. The article will be focused on five areas for which there are expectations and likely huge potential fo...

The paper focuses on investigation and evaluation of the existing situation of various types of brownfield in the field of their technical installations. These brownfields are investigated typologically and divided according to their types, sizes, and functional utilization. This is the base on which their technical attendance is evaluated, namely the designs of public utilities and traffic infrastructure, not only inside the premises, but also the assurance of their connectivity from the point of view of deeper r...

The paper deals with possibilities of recovery methods of technical installations in brownfields. The paper refers to basic problems of regeneration of technical installations in brownfields, namely the identification of individual networks, their often diametrically opposed structurally-engineering states, possibly the effectiveness of approach to reconstruction. The paper offers possibilities how to access to the structures that often exceed their moral life and last but not least, the paper offers new progressi...

The main theme of this article is a problem of storing underground utilities in different types of country. Supply services must meet dissimilar requirements for placing in rural or in the urban zone and respect all limits, which are binding in the known area. Technical security of urban settlement is a significant part of today's modern society, as is the flawless and reliable operation of water, energy and telecommunications networks. They all are a commonplace in each urbanized land and have an important impact...

The article deals with the types of facility management approaches to the management and maintenance of utilities. It addresses the basic kinds of management and maintenance of these buildings in relation to the valid legal regulations of the Czech Republic, and it also discusses the need to solve these problems mainly because of the wear of buildings due to time, mechanical damage and weather conditions. Neglect of timely maintenance and repairs reduces the utility value of the building, which is contrary to the ...

For the purposes of proposing a new use of brownfields and development areas, it is necessary to evaluate the current status of the selected areas including the development of clearly arranged records of individual areas. Each processor of the database usually tries to process it as clearly as possible with the easiest editing. Many processors can manage with commonly available computer resources and do not use the possibilities of innovative software tools designed especially for recording in the field called Fac...

This article deals with the currently often discussed issue of the regeneration of brownfields. Brownfields sites can be found in every city or municipality, whether it is a small or large municipality or a big city. The introductory part of this article will summarize the key findings about these areas, including a presentation of the most appropriate ways of addressing their reuse. The issue of technical infrastructure will not be disregarded in this introductory part, since quality restoration cannot do without...
