Advantages of steel #sheetpiles include the fact that construction is significantly quicker than that for reinforced concrete walls. Learn more ⤵️

Shootcrete work An automated machine applying sprayed concrete for structural support in a tunnel construction project. Sprayed concrete, or shotcrete, is a crucial technique in tunnel construction, applied using an automatic machine for enhanced precision and efficiency. The process involves projecting a mix of cement, aggregate, and water onto tunnel surfaces at high velocity. This method provides immediate ground stabilization, crucial for the safety and speed of tunnel construction. The use of automated machines ensures consistent application, reduces labor costs, and enhances worker safety. The rapid setting properties of sprayed concrete minimize construction time while offering robust and durable support for tunnel walls, adaptable to complex shapes and profiles.

Selecting the right early-entry concrete blade means faster, cleaner cuts and less time swapping out blades that "don't work". Answer two questions to find the best early-entry concrete blade for your next project: https://lnkd.in/gybGPnC2 #concretecutting #construction #diamondblades #earlyentry

Did you know that one of the advantages of steel sheet piles, is that #construction is significantly quicker than that for reinforced concrete walls?

PCC( Blinding Concrete) or CONCRETE COVER. PCC(Plain Cement Concrete) has been widely accepted by the stakeholders as concrete casted directly on the face of excavated soil to provide levelled surfaces for the arrangement of reinforcement or block work, so it is regarded as not contributing to the structural strength of the structure. Most cases the mixing ratio is either 1:3:6 or 1:4:8 or less. WHILE the purpose of concrete cover is to protect the reinforcement from corrosion, fire and other potential damage while contributing to the structural strength of the structure. Most cases on site people tend to neglect the use of concrete cover at the bottom of structural components making the PCC to be the cover to rebars, having different strength based on the difference in their mixes. if this is what happen in construction, what do you think will be problem and what is the solution it? share in your comment. #civilengineering #civilengineer #construction #civilwork #engcivil #engineering #engineeringproblems #constructionsite

Types of Concrete Blocks Used in Construction

Health and safety on this job is just ridiculous. Cranes moving concrete girders while people stud on them, operatives walking over them with no edge protection, no PPE, cars passing under while the lift is in motion. The list goes on. We are in 2024, and no matter where this was being built, surely in 2024 a job of this size should be following simple life saving health and safety procedures. 🤯🤯🤯

What are the Common Methods of Concrete Demolition?

Seems familiar? This is anchorage , End anchorage refers to the method used to anchor the ends of concrete members, such as beams or girders, to adjacent structures or foundations. End anchorage is essential in concrete construction to ensure that the force is effectively transferred from the steel to the concrete and the surrounding structures.
