NAME: GOH JENG JHIEH

STUDENT ID NO: 0315080

LECTURER: Ms Ang Fuey Lin

OBJECTIVE:

Understand the construction process.

Understand the construction techniques used on site and compare what

was taught in books.

To observe the importance of every role in construction site and how they

work together to finish project in time.

Learn the usage of construction equipment on site.

Identify the types of building materials and technology on site.

Create awareness of importance of safety on site and learn what action is

taken to prevent or overcome these safety issues.

Recognize the items measurable for sub-structure and reinforced concrete

frame works.

Purpose of the building

This building consists of commercial and residential areas. The project cost of

this building is about RM 100millions and 2 years of contract period.

Function of different levels:

Photos:

Welded wire mesh (BRC) is net-

like steel bars and used in

reinforced concrete.

Slump test, it is left aside for a

long period and observes the

quality of the mixed concrete.

Temporarily work: Toilet for

workers.

Crane is used in constructing higher floor

level.

Forklift truck to carry heavy loads on site.

Wood sheet for formwork purposes.

Pipes for raisers or piping system. Wire

cover to fix the position of wires.

Temporarily work: Provide small rooms

for workers.

Steel rods are meant to hold piping

system or air-conditioner ducts.

Bore pile is used to provide stable

foundation to support high rise building.

Scaffold to provide worker to fix or construct things at ceiling.

Formwork to reinforced concrete wall which is not removed yet.

Formwork to soffit and sides of slab, and

formwork to soffit and sides of attached

beam.

2 beams are connected to one column.

Reinforced bar to build kerb.

Starter bars for extension to connect 2

buildings together and construction for

higher level.

Workers are bending bars manually.

Formwork to soffit of staircase and

reinforced bars are put inside.

Scaffold to provide movement

for workers.

Conclusion:

After the site visit, I can roughly tell the basics of construction. In this building,

they choose to use bore pile because it is a high rise building, where the other

types of foundation cannot provide the same function. To save more cost and

time, they had to build some temporarily work such as toilet and rooms for

worker’s convenience. If not, the worker has to come from far away and more

cost spent on transportation. Another new thing I learnt from this site visit is that

the starter bars on sides of building are meant for extension purpose. To ensure

the quality of concrete, they had carried out the slump test. On site, I was able to

observe how the formwork is constructed for concrete pour and to sides of walls

& soffits. This is a great experience to be in a site to learn how things were

constructed.
