DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CIVIL SITE ENGINEER AND SITE SUPERVISOR

-
Image
SITE SUPERVISOR:  1. Oversee operations on a day-to-day basis. 2. Study the drawings and execute the work by managing the labour, material, and machinery as per daily planning. 2. Ensure that work is done safely, on time and within budget and to the right quality standards. 3. The responsibility of supervising the whole site. 4. Before work starts, a site manager gets things ready by taking on staff, and preparing the site, carefully planning the work to be done and installing temporary offices for site staff. 5. Monitor progress, oversee the delivery of materials and carry out safety checks and sort out any problems which could hold up work as they arise. 6. Supervising the labours at every stage of the construction. 7. Monitoring the work and providing the current status of work to concerned Site Engineer. 8. Keep in close contact with members of their site team at all times, and liaise with architects, engineers, surveyors, and planners. SITE ENG...

Following are few general points to remember for civil site engineers to make the construction work easier while maintaining quality of construction. o     Lapping is not allowed for the bars having diameters more than 36 mm. o     Chair spacing maximum spacing is 1.00 m (or) 1 No per 1m 2 . o     For dowels rod minimum of 12 mm diameter should be used. o     Chairs minimum of 12 mm diameter bars to be used. o     Longitudinal reinforcement not less than 0.8% and more than 6% of gross C/S. o     Minimum bars for square column is 4 No’s and 6 No’s for circular column. o     Main bars in the slabs shall not be less than 8 mm (HYSD) or 10 mm (Plain bars) and the distributors not less than 8 mm and not more than 1/8 of slab thickness. o     Minimum thickness of slab is 125 mm. o     Dimension tolerance for cubes + 2 mm. o   ...

How To Calculate Quantity Of Soil/Sand For Filling Plots

Soil filling is one of the essential features required for every construction projects. So that the site gets developed and prepared for construction. In this article, We will discuss how to calculate the quantity of soil/sand and no. of trally/tucks required for filling plot. Let, Length of the plot = 50 feet. Width of the plot = 40 feet. Area of the plot = Length x Width = 50 x 40 =2000 sft. Suppose we need to fill the plot by 3’5” = 3.41 feet. ∴ Depth of the plot = 3.41 feet. Volume of plot to be filled = 2000 x 3.41 = 6820 cft. This volume is for loose state. For full compacted state, required quantity of soil/sand for filling the plot = 6820 x 1.30 = 8866 cft (1.30 is factor) Now we will calculate required no of trally/ trucks. Suppose a trally can carry 70 cft soil. ∴ No. of trally rerquired = 8866/70 = 126.65 = 127 no. of trally. Suppose a truck can carry 500 cft. ∴ No. of trucks required = 8866/500 = 17.73 = 18 no. of trucks. ...
