FINISHING WORKS OF HOUSE

 We all know that finishing work of house includes painting, tiles fitting and plumbing works as well as electrical works. All these works are done after completing the plastering works of the house. So in order to make proper and dominant work you should have to spend some time with the workers so they don't waste the required materials uselessly. There are also other works such as false ceiling work, wallpaper work, spraying and design aesthetic appearance etc. are also some works that are done at the end. Fitting up of furniture's, glass and woodworks will be discussed later. But here we will discuss about painting, flooring and plumbing works which can be done in a week.  For painting works the required materials are brush, shoe-brush, thinner, primer and color paint. Because after completing the plastering work and giving it to dry for one month the main work done is painting. After that the wall gives a shiny and colorful appearance which looks aesthetically beauti...

WATER RESOUCE ENGINEERING

 Basically what do you understand by Water Resource Engineering? Normally every people thinks that the study of rivers, dams, embankments and the works which are done on rivers and seas falls in the category of Water Resource Engineering. Well that is correct but water resource engineering is a vast field and its the most upcoming technology in future world. Now only you can see that many pipeline connections, fiber optic connection, dams, bridges etc. are all made on rivers and seas. But in the upcoming technology there will be many natural and artificial construction will be made based on water resource technology.  Just forget about all these. And think on Dubai. How was it before 30-40 years ago and how is it now! But before getting a deep knowledge of it just think about the technologies that are used now a days in all over the world. Technologies and artificial intelligence are increasing day by day. All works are done by machineries now a days. So there is a vast increa...

PROJECT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT

 To build any city, infrastructure, road-planning and development of industrial areas project is planned and after that the work is started. Without planning no project can be done and no plan can be issued . So before doing any work in any company planning is made first and after that the project is made. Always remember that every work has some instance and forbidden. But never be happy for instance work and never be sad for forbidden work. Now, the most important thing is what you will do before doing any project or before planning any project? Do not panic. As the senior advice you just follow the steps and you will definitely able to create a wonderful project. Because the planning is done in AutoCAD but before planning the soil is tested and the area is surveyed as to find the right and actual position of the project. Step-by-step every work is done and in survey every point is taken.  In today's world every system is build on planning and technology. Without technology...

HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL CIVIL ENGINEER

 First of all you forget about Civil Engineer. You just forget that you have passed out Civil Engineer. And just think of that people who are working under engineers. And obviously you will see many people who have not studied anything about engineering, only just by working and working they have gained knowledge everything about construction. And you can see that many contractors, workers, manager, sales man, safety officer, supervisor etc. all those have various knowledge about construction than that of engineers.  So you can see that only gaining knowledge is not so important but also working, practicing and practical knowledge is important. When taking recruitment in any companies they neither see about percentage nor marks. Only just they see about your skills and how to do work with low cost and less wastage. So they heir for an engineer who has experience in their relative field and can give the best profitable income according to the company requirement.  Well tha...

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

 First of all I would like to ask you what is management? Because before discussing about construction management first of all you should have to be careful with the term management. Obviously management means planning, decision making, leadership process, co-operating with the works of others etc. and etc. And most importantly he should be careful about the company to handle the problems of his work.  Construction management is also same thing that involves in . The manager should be careful about the materials, equipment's and machineries that are required in the construction site. He should also have the power to handle every labor problems and the working area of the site. He should have to think 360° view of the work in the construction site, where the obstructions will occur, how to control the execution of work and how to make the work efficient and easy. But this construction management cannot be achieved within a short period of time, because you should have the exper...

INTERIOR WORKS

 Of course, everybody understands what is interior works and what interior work is basically about. But can you find all the interior work items in one shop while going to the market? Definitely not. Because all shops have different items for housework's.  There are many interior works in the household items that you have to work for. Just think of electrical works. The items you needed for electrical works can be found in electric shop not in plumbing shop. Same as the case with plumbing items that cannot be found in electrical shop. Also the items needed for woodworks or glassworks can be found in furniture shops . The items needed for bathroom or kitchen work can be found in tiles shop. And various kinds of items needed can be found in different shops. Also for painting works can be found in hardware shops.  Okk, that's a sort of problem to work about. But what are the interior rooms, or what are the interior materials basically needed?  Well moreover every...

ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION

 This topic is very important for the new passed-out civil engineers or for the freshers. As a fresher and without any experience if you go in the construction work for the first time you will feel nothing wrong. But as the days passed and weeks by weeks you work, you will see that there are many faulty and illegal works done by the workers as well as the mistry. Well I will not say that all the mistries are like that, but there are some mistries who has rough ideas and do faulty works, without any proper understanding and knowledge at the site. They only just do the work for the show off, without any accuracy and proper position.  You might be thinking about how is this possible or why will they do so? The answer is quite simple, just to save the contractor's money they do such kind of work. Because the contractor advise them to do something in less than that of required quantity. In building works you will see that the depth of footing which is required to be 2 meter they wi...

REQUIRED MATERIALS FOR STRUCTURAL WORK

 The structural materials here I am going to discuss is all about concrete works. Actually the work which is done before plastering and painting or before modifying. All structural works consists of two IS Codes i.e., IS 456:2000 & IS 800:2007. Because in their the structural works of each and every element is given in details.  IS 456:2000 IS 800:2007 So you have deeply understood about the structural work that I am going to discuss about. Well for building the structural materials are footing, column, beam, slab, staircase, chajja etc. For bridge pile, pile cap, pier, pier cap, wing wall, abutment, girder, deck etc. and etc. For road we have sub-grade, sub-base course, base course, surface course etc. As well as for tunnel also, canal, dam, embankment and airport and railways also. But not us let talk much because the codes which I have given above are mostly used for building works and bridge works.  So let us discuss about the materials required for making these s...

NEVER GIVE UP

 Life is a war. You should always have to stand against it. It dosen't matters how difficult situation you have faced or how difficult your life is. The only thing that matters is your achievement and success. Nobody is going to asked you what are the strategies you have failed or how much you worked hard. Only just going to asked you what are the strategies you have applied and your challenges.  There are always some persons who are going to give you negative points about the work or journey you want to start. While there are some people who are going to advise you to upbringing your life from zero level to hero level. But mind it, beware of fake people. Obviously, the knowledge you learnt, you are going to start your life with that career.  When you passed your HSLC examination or HS examination, you noticed that nobody has seen your hard work only they asked about the results. But you know how much you have worked hard or how much you acknowledge yourself day and night...

DEWATERING

 What is dewatering and why dewatering is important? You never know that. But if you are an experience enough you are cleared with this term. But if you are studying in college and not visited any site then you may never know this. But by the way if you are a farmer's son then you might have used this machine.  Dewatering is necessary if the foundation pit is full of water and no PCC or sand filling can be provided. If the water is present it will lead to the accommodation of water. No work will be done properly and there will be lot of tension. So to empty the water mechanical water pump is used for dewatering. So that the excavation pit remains empty with water and the work can be done easily.  As the water is poured inside the pump it opens up through the valve. But be careful no air should remain inside or trapped into the machine. Otherwise the machine will give problem. After pouring all the water in the pump, the mouth is kept hold for few seconds of the machine so...

WHAT IS PEDESTAL IN FOOTING ?

 During foundation you should always be careful that there is no water present in the excavation pit and the depth should be accurate. So for that you need manwork and labourers to maintain it's accuracy. So before going further for any work just be careful that the depth of foundation is accurate and no error should be made. Because the structure of a building is fully depend upon foundation. And this is general sense that the all the building loads are carried to the foundation i.e., footing.  Before doing any foundation work first of all brick soiling is to be done or sand filling. The building where high rise structures are made, sand filling is done; but the house with ground floor, brick soiling is sufficient. But from where you will get the bricks. Obviously you will have to order or bring it from bricks factory where bricks are made. And after bringing the bricks where you will placed them?  (Actually all these practical knowledge are not taught in the college so ...

PROBLEMS FACED AT CONSTRUCTION SITE

 When you join as fresher in any construction company you will be able to face various kinds of problems. But how you will get rid out of this? How you will fix the issue? There are many worries and many hindrance activities that happens in the site. The laborers doesn't listen any thing and the Mistry thinks himself to be the best. The contractor also try to solve out the issues in different ways which is exactly not feasible. Many problems and damages happens at construction site and the contractor and Mistry never try to solve it out in a scientific way , but as a site engineer you have scientific as well as technical knowledge. So you should have to be careful about it and solve it as the best possible manner you can.  Someday it might happen that there are less bags of cement, or may be the vibrator is not working properly, or may be less quantities of fine aggregates, coarse aggregates etc. and etc. But as a site engineer it's your responsibility that you shou...

CEMENT BAG

 Well every Civil Engineer must know about the quality of cement used on the site. There are some laboratory test and as well as there are some field test also. But how you will check the cement on the site without any apparatus😨? Well that's really sort kind of thing. First of all, after opening the cement bag see that there are not any lumps occurring in the cement bag. Take some little amount of cement on your hand and see that no mould like shape appears on it. It should be smooth and free falling .  Now let us come to the main point. In some cases there may be a problem you can face on the site that less cement bags are available according to the need of yours. So what you will do on that day. You cannot stop the work otherwise there will be no salary for you as a fresher. You should have to come each and every day to up-grow your career as a Civil Engineer. So look for other sort of works where less cement bags are needed or do woodwork such as shuttering work, fr...

CERAMIC TILES INSTALLATION GUIDE

 You might have wondered that after growing up and making lots and lots of money you will build up a house of your own with nice outfits, tiles covering and many more. But do you know how much does ceramic tiles cost? Do you know how much time does it take to fit one ceramic tile? Well there are lots of question arise and even what are the facilities you should have to provide to the mistry for fitting up the tiles.  Let us first discuss about the facilities that you should have to provide to the tile fixing mistry for fitting up the tiles i.e., water, cement and electricity. Because without these nothing is going to work out. At some points of time you should also have to provide light if the room is dark or sunlight dosen;t enters. But water is must because before fixing the tile on the wall first it is soaked in water for making it wet. After that it is taken out of water and placed it at a dry place so that it remains moist and unwanted water drops down. Oh wait, you shoul...
