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, framework etc. Otherwise there will be no work for you to do or you should have to stop the work on the site which will be a huge loss to the company. So don't panic because of less cement bags in the site, do some other shortage of work where you can regenerate it. Because it will take more than 3 to 4 days for bringing other bags of cement in the site. 

Let me clarify you with a simple example. See in my case, the site where I am working at has only 18 bags of cement left on it, but the required no bags need for casting is 22bags for two footing. But if I think of using all those 18 bags for two RCC footings then there will be no cement bags left over for next day to work in the site. So with all those tensions and difficulties, there are only six foundations left for PCC shuttering and concreting, and we went through with that work because less number of cement bags are required for those kind of works. Therefore , continuously for three days we made all those foundations cleared with PCC and the remaining RCC work will be done till the next cement bags appears on the site. So like that you will have to utilise your brain and keep the work continuous to go on so that not a single day you should remain unwork. 

But wait, the topic is soon not yet over. What you will do with the old cement when new cement appears on the site after few days. The step is just simple. Just bring the old cement bags at side apart and enter the new cement bags inside it. Because keeping the new cement bags with the one's will damage and will be of no use. It's like keeping the rotten apple with the good one's. So as a Site Engineer or Site Supervisor be careful with all those things.
