CONTENT / TECHNICAL OBSEVATIONS

In order to visit the site we were split in to 2 sessions, the first session was at

8:45 am to 9:45 am and the second session starts at 9;45 am to 10;45 am.On the 21of June 2013 we gathered at the entrance of the site. The site was located in Subang

Jaya close to Subang Parade. The address in : LOT PT12590,Senahagian Rezab

Talian Rintasan Elektrik Subang Jaya, Mukim Damansara,Daerah Petaling, Selangot

Darul Ehsan. The architect in charged is Soonchai Architect. The Civil and Structure

mechanical and electrical engineer are J & A Association SDN BHD. The conteactor

in charged is KP Synergies berhad -Trangrid venture SDH BHD consortium.Startingdate of construction is18 October 2010 the estimated time for this project to be

completed is 3 years from the starting date.

We were shown around the site by Mr. Peter. First we had a look at the bar

bending area. All the reinforcement bars are placed there while the bar benders

bend the bar bending machine. Secondly we visited the carpentry area, this is where

wood used for formwork are placed and cut in to their specific sizes. Later on, we

saw construction workers make the concrete spacer. Concrete are mixed then

poured in a mould then in cut in to the specific sizes and left t dry. Certain concrete

spaces are inserted with wires and some not. We learned that concrete spacers with

wire attached to it are made for the sides of the reinforcement bars and the ones

without the wire are for the bottom.

After that, we observed how the construction workers work one site. The

construction workers that are working at a high level would secure them self by

attaching them self to the scaffolding. This is to prevent the worker from falling down

from a high level. We were told that only the pile caps are precast and the rest of the

concrete work on site where insitu casting and the industrialised building system

(IBS) is not used trough out this construction. The columns are all sitting on the pile

caps because if the column where to sit on the beam it would not be strong enough.

The maximum high of a column is 11 meters. Because this is a substation platforms

are specially made according to the size and able to with stand the weight of the

transformers.

Objective of site visit

To understand the basic of the construction process

To understand the practical aspect of construction techniques on site and the

comparison of theories from books.

To be exposed to actual working environment on site including uncertainty

circumstances

To learn the ability of communicating with the construction team members on

site and to learn the importance of teamwork in the building team.

To witness the usage of construction equipment on site that includes

mechanical plants.

To explore and identify various types of building materials and technology on

site.

To be aware of the importance of safety on site and understanding of safety

problems and site conditions.

To recognize the items measurable for sub-structure and reinforced concrete

frame works.

To adopt a systematic approach to take-off quantities from drawings for the

preparation of Bills of Quantities for substructures and reinforced concrete

frame works.

To demonstrate a systematic and orderly mind and be able to visualize the

drawings and details given for substructure and reinforced concrete frame

works.

Learning outcomes and Conculution

From this site visit I managed to understand the basic of the construction

process and the practical aspect of construction techniques on site and the

comparison of theories from books. I also was exposed to actual working

environment on site including uncertainty circumstances. I learn the ability of

communicating with the construction team members on site and to learn the

importance of teamwork in the building team. Besides that I managed to witness

the usage of construction equipment on site that includes mechanical plants.

Through this site visit I am able to explore and identify various types of building

materials and technology on site. I am now aware of the importance of safety on

site and understanding of safety problems and site conditions. In addition I learn

recognize the items measurable for sub-structure and reinforced concrete frame

works and adopt a systematic approach to take-off quantities from drawings for

the preparation of Bills of Quantities for substructures and reinforced concrete

frame works. I am able to demonstrate a systematic and orderly mind and be

able to visualize the drawings and details given for substructure and reinforced

concrete frame works.

In conclusion I managed to learn a lot of things that were not in texts books

and now I am able to visualise what I am learning because I had first-hand

experience of visiting a site.
