TRAINING SUMMARY

The 50 days long summer training at Happy Elegance


comprised of extensive site visits covering all the formwork
of Block a , b and c and Foundation Work of The Club House.
My primary objective of the internship in building
construction and formwork was to gain practical experience,
understand industry standards, and develop essential
technical and professional skills . I focused on learning about
various formwork systems such as traditional timber,
engineered, and modular forms. I came to know the safe and
efficient installation and removal of formwork, ensuring that
it meets both structural and design specifications while
maintaining high-quality standards.

An essential part of the internship was understanding the


overall construction process which included project
management, interior design and safety protocols. Safety
was most important priority during processes related to
Formworks. The interior design was made using a software
called “3Dx Max “. During the construction of Sample Flat a
manager was appointed who co-ordinated the civil ,
architects , electrical and plumbing teams. This experience
allowed me to get well-rounded understanding of both the
theoretical and practical aspects of building construction and
formwork .

Planning and Monitoring
Construction projects can be difficult to manage. There are
several stakeholders, phases, responsibilities, and tasks
involved. It’s challenging to make sure everything runs
smoothly.

3.1 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

A construction contract is a legally binding agreement


between two parties, typically a property owner and a
contractor .This document is crucial as it defines the scope of
work, allocates risks, and outlines the responsibilities and
legal rights of both the contractor and the owner. The main
parties involved in a construction project include:

1. Client:
The client, also known as the owner or employer,
holds the authority to determine the type of contract
to be utilized for a specific construction project. The
client is responsible for establishing the legally
binding terms and conditions within the contractual
agreement.
2. Contractor:
The contractor is an individual or a firm that
undertakes the execution of construction projects
under a contractual arrangement. Contractors are
hired directly by the client or by third-party entities to
deliver independent professional services.

11
Example: In this project, the client has their own
construction company.
3. Authority Engineer:
The Authority Engineer is responsible for reviewing
and approving the contractor's quality assurance plan.
This role includes verifying the sources and quality of
materials used in the construction process.

3.2 MODES OF CONTRACTS

To ensure the smooth execution of plans, the owner of an


infrastructure project may engage other private entities
through contractual agreements. These models are
structured to promote the rapid and cost-effective
completion of the projects.

1. Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC)


Contracts
EPC contracts represent an agreement between the project
owner and a contractor, where the contractor is responsible
for delivering various services such as design, construction,
logistics, and transport, among others, to the project
financier. The owner bears all costs incurred from the
project's inception and is also responsible for securing
necessary clearances, permits, and addressing any issues that
may arise during the project's lifecycle. This arrangement
allows the private party to concentrate on planning,
designing, procuring raw materials, and executing the

12
construction work, thereby significantly reducing the time
required to complete the project. This model is based on the
Design & Build (DB) approach.
2. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Contracts
In a PPP contract, the private entity undertakes the
construction of the project and then transfers ownership
back to the client upon completion. The private party is
responsible for raising the necessary funds for the project.
The client begins making payments to the developer once the
project becomes operational and generates revenue. Since
the private entity finances the project, it is granted the right
to collect revenue, typically through toll collection, as a
means to recoup its investment. The client’s involvement in
this model is primarily limited to sharing revenue from the
toll collected by the private entity. This model operates on
the Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer (DBFOT)
framework.
3. Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM)
The Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) is a combination of
elements from both the EPC and PPP models. In this model,
the government or client is responsible for covering 40% of
the construction costs through five annual instalments
(annuity) during the construction phase, while the developer
must secure the remaining funds. The balance of the
payment is made after the project's completion, based on the
value generated and the assets created. This payment can be
made in the form of variable instalments over time. Unlike
the PPP model, the private entity does not have the right to
collect tolls under this arrangement.

13
3.3 Phases of Construction Planning
Construction planning is a crucial and complex task in
the management and execution of construction
projects. It involves selecting the appropriate
technology, defining work tasks, estimating the
resources and time required for each task, and
identifying the interdependencies among various tasks.
1. Tendering Stage When the client decides to
initiate a project, a preliminary survey is
conducted by an agency to obtain rough estimates
of key parameters. Subsequently, tenders are
invited, typically consisting of the following
components:
a. Technical Bidding A technical bid in construction is a
proposal submitted to secure a contract with a
potential client, focusing on meeting all technical
specifications related to products, construction design,
and materials, or their functionally equivalent
alternatives. This bid is based on the detailed technical
documentation, including scaled drawings and
elevation plans, which must be approved and certified
by local planning and building authorities.
b. Financial Bidding A financial bid in construction is a
proposal to fulfill all the technical requirements at the
lowest possible cost. It includes the cost of labor,
construction design, and material availability, ensuring
that the project can be completed within the agreed

14
contract timelines and delivered to the client by the
specified deadline.
2. Scheduling Stage
A. Surveying and Land Acquisition
After securing the bid, the company conducts a land
survey. Construction surveying, also known as
"staking," "stake-out," "layout," or "setting-out,"
involves placing reference points and markers that
guide the construction of new structures like roads.
These markers are usually positioned according to a
coordinate system selected specifically for the project.
Advancements in modern technology have significantly
improved the accuracy and efficiency of surveying.
Historically, surveyors used chains and posts to
measure distances, but this method could not account
for elevation. Today's technology, such as the Global
Positioning System (GPS), can measure not only the
distance between two points but also the differences
in elevation.
B. Logistics Setup
Physical distribution in engineering construction is a
multidisciplinary process involving the procurement,
transportation, warehousing, loading, unloading,
packing, and allocation of materials, equipment, and
other commodities.
Throughout this process, and during both pre-
construction and active construction phases, the
organization must ensure that the right resources are
15
available at the right time, in the correct location, at a
reasonable cost, and with high quality. Therefore, an
optimal site is chosen as the central hub for
construction activities.
C. Financial Breakdown
In developing a construction plan, the primary focus is
often either on cost control or schedule control. Some
projects are divided into expense categories with
associated costs. For more complex projects, both cost
and scheduling over time must be considered,
requiring integrated planning, monitoring, and record-
keeping that address both aspects. In such cases,
combining schedule and budget information is a major
concern.
3. Execution and Monitoring Phase
With the plan and schedule in place, the execution
phase begins. During this phase, the project is
continuously and meticulously monitored by the
planning and monitoring department.
a. Daily Progress Report (DPR)
A construction daily report, or daily log, is a document
that details the events and activities of a single day on
a construction project.
The purpose of these daily reports is to provide a
comprehensive overview of the ongoing construction
project. They include information that stakeholders,
investors, project owners, and contractors need to stay
informed about the project's status. These reports help
16
ensure that all parties are aware of any potential
delays and receive regular updates on progress toward
project completion.
b. Software
In today's fast-paced environment, companies need to
manage multiple projects simultaneously. To do this
effectively, managers seek out software that best suits
their specific project management needs. Primavera
and MS Project are two well-known project
management tools widely used for planning,
scheduling, and organizing project details.

Construction Equipments
17
Machines are a vital resource to the accomplishment
of a construction project. One of the most obvious
problems in construction is how to transport heavy
building materials. Machines provide the solution to
that problem. And there are also many problems like
for excavation we need JCB, for preparing the concrete
we need batching plant etc. The proof of how well the
planner understands the work that must be
accomplished and selects appropriate machines for
that purpose. And the selection of machines also
decides that company made a profit or sustains loss.
The list of construction project equipment is given
below:
1. Backhoe & Excavators
Backhoe is another widely used equipment which
suitable for multiple purposes. The name itself
indicating that the hoe arrangement is provided on the
back side of vehicle while loading bucket is provided in
the front. This is well useful for excavating trenches
below the machine level and using front bucket
loading, unloading and lifting of materials can be done.
Bulldozers are another type of soil excavating
equipment which are used to remove the topsoil layer
up to particular depth. The removal of soil is done by
the sharp-edged widemetal plate provided at its front.
This plate can be lowered and raised using hydraulic
18
pistons. These are widely used for the removal of weak
soil or rock strata, lifting of soil,etc.
Fig. 5.2: Bulldozers
3. Steel Bar Bender
It is a machine that is used to bend bars made of steel
and other heavy metals. These machines enable you to
bend heavy steel bars at accurate angles. This is used
as it saves time, can bend bars with accuracy, and
provides a uniform bending due to which bars don’t
develop cracks.
It is capable of bending steel bars from 0 to
180degrees.

Compactors or Rollers are used to compact the


material or earth surface. Different types of
compactors are available for different compacting
purposes. Smooth wheel rollers are used for
compacting shallow layers of soil or asphalt etc. sheep-
foot rollers are used for deep compaction purposes.
Pneumatic-tyred rollers are used for compacting fine
grain soils, asphalt layers etc.

19
Fig. 5.4: Compactor
5. Transit Mixture
It is used to transport concrete mortar from aconcrete
batching plant.
As per code agitation speed should be 2-3 RPM &
mixing speed in range of 10-20 RPM. CAPACITY: 7
Cubic Meter

Fig. 5.5: Transit Mixer

Vibrators work by allowing air to float up and out of


the concrete, so the tip should not be withdrawn faster
than the air can move upward, about 3 inches per
second. If the wall is poured in multiplelifts, the
vibrator tip should go deep enough to penetrate 3 to 6
inches in the previous layer.
Fig. 5.6: Concrete Vibrator
7. Cranes
Cranes are generally found on vehicles, but cranes
used for construction work are adapted to move on the
tractor, and several cranes may be attached to barges
when usedfor construction work on waterway bridges.

20
The lifting arm is usually articulated to allow lifting and
reduction as required. Generally, this is achieved
through a system of cables or hydraulic mechanisms,
and the whole structure may be coupled to a support
to provide more stability during its operation.

8. Concrete Pumper
Pumping the concrete through vertical pumps is
limited to a certain uplift capacity of pump only. After
that, concrete cannot be placed around. So, the
vertical pump is connected with the static pump. When
the concrete is pushed, it travels throughout the
boom placer and at the top there is a 360O rotation
wherein one can displace the concrete all around.
Capacity: 100 to 500 Tones Per Hour.

Foundation

The foundation of any building structure is its base level. It


keeps the moisture and groundwater away from the
structure and evenly distributes the structure’s weight to the
ground. Foundations can be of various types with each type
suitable for different construction projects. If the foundation
21
is not built right, the final structure will not be sturdy, which
in turn, can be dangerous to the occupants.

Types of Foundations in Construction


We are here to delve into the deep and diverse
underworld of building foundations and provide
construction tips to help you plan and execute your
projects flawlessly. Foundations can be shallow or
deep.
Shallow Foundations
Shallow foundations are placed closer to the ground
surface and are suitable for light to medium-weight
structures. They include isolated spread footings, wall
footings, combined footings, cantilever or strap
footings and raft or mat foundations. These house
foundation types can be further classified as follows:
Isolated Spread or Individual Footing
This type of foundation is economical and used
widely. It is ideal for ordinary buildings, typically up to
five storeys high. Each column in a structure has its
own isolated footing that directly transfers the load to
the underlying soil.
Wall Footings or Strip Footing
These foundations are longer and narrower compared
to isolated spread footings. They are commonly used
to support load-bearing walls in buildings with narrow
column spacing.

22
Combined Footings
When two or more columns are closely situated,
combined footings are employed. These foundations
create a continuous support system. They spread the
load between the columns and reduce the risk of
differential settlement.
Cantilever or Strap Footings
In situations where one part of the building is
adjacent to another structure or footing, these types
of footings are used. They provide support to the
load-bearing walls while avoiding interference from
nearby elements.
Raft or Mat Foundations
These foundations are utilised when the soil has poor
bearing capacity or when the superstructure load is
distributed extensively throughout the entire
footprint area. Raft or mat foundations are designed
to reduce uneven settlements and ensure stability.
Deep Foundations
Unlike shallow foundations, which are placed closer
to the surface, deep foundations are used when the
depth from the ground surface to the underside of
the foundation exceeds five times the width of the
foundation. They are suitable for heavy structures or
when the soil near the surface is not strong enough.
Pile foundations, pier foundations and caisson
foundations are the primary types of deep
foundations.
23
Pile Foundations
These foundations are made up of long, slender
structural elements called piles. Piles are driven deep
into the ground to transfer the load of the structure
to stronger, more stable soil or rock layers.
Pier Foundations
Similar to pile foundations, pier foundations consist of
cylindrical or rectangular columns that are drilled or
driven deep into the ground to bear the load of the
structure.
Caisson Foundations
Caisson foundations are used when the load of the
structure needs to be transferred to lower layers of
soil or rock. They are constructed by excavating a
shaft, placing a reinforcement cage, and filling it with
concrete to form a watertight structure.

What is a raft foundation?

A raft foundation, also known as a mat foundation, is a type


of shallow foundation that spreads the load from a structure
over a large area of soil. It is characterized by its slab-like
shape that extends over the entire footprint of the building,
effectively distributing the structural load over a broad area.
This distribution helps prevent differential settlement, which
can cause structural damage.

24
Raft foundations are normally used in places without strong
soil, like soft clay or sand - they float on the soil and can be
good to use where other foundation types wouldn’t work.

A raft foundation is made of a thick, strong piece of concrete


held up by a grid of steel bars. This helps stop it from being
bent or broken by heavy weights and sinking into the ground.
How thick and deep it is depends on how heavy the building
is and what the ground is like.

1. Components of Raft Foundation

1. Concrete Slab: The primary component of a raft


foundation is a reinforced concrete slab that rests
directly on the soil. This slab is typically thick and heavily
reinforced to withstand the loads imposed by the
structure above.
2. Reinforcement Bars: Steel reinforcement bars,
commonly known as rebars, are embedded within the
concrete slab to enhance its strength and durability.
These rebars are strategically placed according to
engineering design to resist tension and prevent
cracking.
3. Column Pads: In structures with columns, column pads
are provided within the raft foundation to support the
columns. These pads are thicker sections of concrete
that distribute the load from the columns to the
surrounding soil.

25
Construction Process of Raft Foundation

1. Site Preparation: The construction process begins with


site excavation and preparation, including clearing the
area of debris and ensuring a level surface.
2. Soil Investigation: Before constructing a raft foundation,
soil investigation is conducted to assess the soil’s
bearing capacity and determine its suitability for
supporting the structure.
3. Reinforcement Placement: Once the site is prepared,
steel reinforcement bars are placed according to the
design specifications within the excavated area.
4. Formwork Installation: Formwork, or molds, are
installed around the perimeter of the foundation area to
contain the concrete during pouring.
5. Concrete Pouring: High-quality concrete is poured into
the formwork, covering the entire area designated for
the raft foundation.
6. Curing: After pouring, the concrete slab is allowed to
cure properly to attain its full strength.
7. Finishing Touches: Once the concrete has cured,
finishing touches such as waterproofing and insulation
may be applied depending on the project requirements.

Advantages of Raft Foundation

1. Uniform Load Distribution: Raft foundations distribute


the structural load evenly over a wide area, reducing the
risk of differential settlement and ensuring stability.
2. Suitable for Poor Soil Conditions: Raft foundations are
ideal for sites with poor soil conditions, including
expansive clay or weak, compressible soils.

26
3. Cost-Effective: In many cases, raft foundations can be
more cost-effective compared to deep foundations such
as piles, especially for large structures.
4. Time-Efficient Construction: The construction process for
raft foundations is typically faster compared to deep
foundations, resulting in time savings during project
execution.

Applications of Raft Foundation

1. High-Rise Buildings: Raft foundations are commonly


used in high-rise buildings where the loads imposed by
the structure are substantial.
2. Industrial Structures: Industrial facilities such as factories
and warehouses often require robust foundation
systems like raft foundations to support heavy
machinery and equipment.
3. Residential Construction: Raft foundations are also
employed in residential construction, particularly in
areas with challenging soil conditions or where cost-
effectiveness is a priority.

Conclusion

In the realm of construction engineering, the raft foundation


stands as a testament to innovation and engineering
excellence. Its ability to distribute loads efficiently, adapt to
various soil conditions, and offer cost-effective solutions has
made it a cornerstone in modern construction practices. By
understanding the principles and applications of raft
foundations, engineers and architects can continue to build
structures that stand the test of time, ensuring safety,
stability, and longevity.
27
Formwork

Formwork is a temporary structure used


in concrete construction to strengthen, support and shape
the concrete until it hardens. It is an essential part of the
construction process, ensuring the desired shape, quality,
durability and dimensions of the concrete structure.

Depending on the project requirements, formwork can be


made from various materials such as timber, steel, or
aluminium. It is designed to withstand the pressure exerted

28
by the wet concrete and provide stability during the curing
process. Furthermore, properly designed and installed
formwork also reduces the risk of cracks and other defects in
the concrete.

Key components of formwork construction


Various components are used in formwork to ensure
stability and durability. Here are the key features:
 Ties: It is a tensile unit that connects opposite

sides of the formwork and serves to withstand


the effective pressure of wet concrete.
 Braces: Braces keep the formwork straight by

preventing its deflection from lateral pressure.


 Sheathing: These panels help the concrete hold

its shape and remain in position till it hardens


and sets.
 Studs: It supports sheathing panels and makes

them stay in their position.


 Wales: Wales are basically horizontal propping

parts placed against the sheathing panels to offer


direct resistance to sheathing pressure.
 Battens: Battens are vertical parts used to keep

the wales in an upright position.


 Footing: As the name suggests, footing is the

lowest part of the formwork that supports the


entire structure.

29
Advantages of formwork construction
The varied advantages of formwork construction
make it a necessity when it comes to building
concrete structures. Here are the top seven
advantages of using formwork in concrete
construction:
 Ensures accurate shape and dimensions of the

concrete structure.
 Provides support and stability during the curing

process.
 Reduces the risk of cracks and defects in the

concrete.
 Allows for efficient construction and faster

completion of projects.
 Offers flexibility in design and customisation.

 Delivers structural safety by withstanding overlay

loads.
 Helps to produce a smoother finished surface of

concrete.

1.under floor wiring

31
In houses, under-floor electric wiring is typically
installed during the construction phase, before the
floor is laid. The process generally involves the
following steps:

Electrical conduits or raceways are run between the


electrical panel and the locations where outlets,
switches, and other electrical devices will be placed.
These conduits are installed beneath the subfloor,
either in trenches dug into the ground or secured to
the underside of the subfloor.
Individual wires are then pulled through the conduits
to each desired location. This allows the wiring to be
concealed beneath the finished flooring.
Electrical boxes are installed at the planned locations
for outlets, switches, and other devices. These boxes
are mounted to the subfloor or secured to the floor
joists.
The wires are then connected to the electrical boxes,
providing power to the devices that will be installed
later.
Once the wiring is complete, the subfloor is installed
over top, concealing the electrical conduits and
wiring. This provides a clean, finished look without
visible wiring.

32
2. Water Proofing

Potential risks of skipping bathroom


waterproofing
Given below are the 4 problems that you might
face if you don't opt for bathroom waterproofing
solutions -

Leakage and seepage - Without proper


waterproofing, water can seep through cracks
and gaps, leading to leaks that damage walls,
floors, and ceilings. Any leaks from broken or
faulty pipes can also easily affect the bathroom.

Mould and mildew - Moisture accumulation in


unprotected areas creates a breeding ground for
mould and mildew, posing health risks for the
residents.

33
Increased maintenance costs - Repairing water-
related damages can be expensive, time
consuming, and a hassle.

Decreased property value - Untreated water


damage can detract from the aesthetics and
functionality of your bathroom, reducing the
overall value of your property.

3. Flooring

34
Safety

Construction safety management is a method which is


used to control safety activities in order to ensure a
safe working environment in the construction site.
“Safety first”, every construction work is done with
this line keeping in mind. Safety of people should be
the first priority of any construction work. Some of
the safety equipment are as follows:
35
1. Safety helmet
2. Safety jacket
3. Safety Shoes
4. Safety gloves

9.1 SAFETY HELMET


Safety helmet act as the first line of defense against
head injury, but they only work when they are worn
correctly. Thus, it’s safe to say safety Helmet save
lives and reduce the risk of brain injury.

9.2 SAFETY JACKET


A safety jacket is an essential accessory for anyone
taking part in industrial activities. This clothing makes
workers visible in low light and dark conditions.
Safety jackets are worn by people that work at
construction sites who have to follow a particular
dress code. These safety clothes serve as the first line
of defense for the workers who work at construction
sites.

9.3 SAFETY SHOES


Fig. 9.3: Safety jacket
A pair of safety shoes (also known as safety boots) is
personal protective equipment (PPE) for foot
protection at workplaces. It prevents from getting
foot injuries due to slippery surface, heavy falling or
36
rolling objects, sharp piercing edges, pinch points,
rotary machinery, hot objects, loops of ropes under
tension, splinters, electricity, chemicals or even bad
weather etc.

9.4 SAFETY GLOVES


Construction work gloves protect the fingers and
hands from a wide range of on-site injuries, from cuts
and abrasions to chemical exposure and electrical
shock. Some of their common uses include factory
and maintenance work, heavy-duty operation and
outdoor construction. They are usually cut-resistant
and have high breathability features. The work gloves
possess high gripping power even in wet or oily
conditions. Thus, it is suggested to wear these gloves
when on-site and while handling or lifting the
equipment or tools.
