Concrete Batching plant

This is equipment that combines various ingredients to form concrete. These are some of the
ingredients we most inputs at our site which includes water, cement, sand and coarse aggregates. With
concrete performance so dependent on accurate water measurement, systems often use digital scales
for cementitious materials and aggregates, and moisture probes to measure aggregate water content as
it enters the aggregate batcher to automatically compensate for the mix design water/cement ratio
target. After batching the ingredients it is then mixed by a rotating auger as it pours concrete in the
concrete pump for pumping it to where concrete to be cast. Concrete batching plant is fixed in one
position and after using it we make sure that it has to be cleaned properly.

Concrete pump

This is a machine used at site for transferring liquid concrete by pumping, which is already mixed by a
concrete batching plant. It is a remote controlled machine by a technical personal, it is used by
connecting concrete pipes up to where concrete going to be cast. It is capable of pumping concrete at
very high volume.

Concrete pipes

These are pipes made of different length and bending angles used during transportation of already
mixed concrete.

Curing
Tower crane

This is a lifting device designed to raise materials by means of rope operation and moves the load
horizontally. It has a well reinforced foundation base. For easy communication we use radio calls to
direct crane operator.

It consists of several parts like;

1. Access ladder: this is a ladder housed within a tower crane which helps the crane operator
access to the cap control.
2. Cap control: this helps the crane operator to have a clear view of most of the lifting operations
with a help of a second person (banksman) to give clear signals to the crane operator and to
load the crane by use of radio calls.
3. Counter weight: this is consisting of precast concrete blocks which help the crane to balance
while lifting materials.
4. Hoist block. This consists of a hook where the rope is fixed for lifting materials at site.

Other parts include: trolley, motor, jip, base frame, bracing, slewing ring

Some of work performed by this tower crane at site,

Lifting of reinforcement bars

Lifting of machines like bar bending machine, threading machine, bar cutting machine etc

Lifting murram for backfilling.

During offloading of scaffold pipes

During offloading of plywood and timber.

Bar bending machine

This is a machine used to bend bars; it designed to reduce the role of manpower

This bar bending machine consists of three buttons i.e. one button for switch it on, one for switch it off
and another one to show whether power is on or off. It is an electric machine used to bend bars of
different diameter.

Advantages of bar bending machine

It reduces man power.

It increases the productivity of steel.

It saves time.

Columns rebar

All our columns are square

The bar used are Y16, Y20 and Y25 with grade 500.

All columns reinforcement bars are connected by splicing using couplers.

Links used are Y10 and Y8

Hooks (clips) are bent on both side with one side at 90 degrees and another side more bent.

How to carry out columns rebar.

Cutting, threading and bending of starter bars and other columns main bars using a bar cutting machine,
a bar threading machine and a bar bending machine respectively. The bars are cut shorter and
longer with a difference of 700mm to avoid joints to be at same position.

Setting out for the columns length from our grid point.

tie the starter bars (one long and next one short) on bottom mesh of a raft foundation.

insertion of all the required columns links in the starter bars before connecting columns main bars and
we make sure of interchanging the link hooks in the four corners of the columns. Connecting of columns
main bars on starter bars by splicing using couplers with a help of two bar spanners i.e. one to be fixed
on starter bars and another one to be used to rotate the main bars to enter in the couplers.

Marking for links spacing in such a way that the first 9links and last 9links with a spacing of 100mm and
the middle one 150mm, for the 4.0m columns height we put 27links and the 5.1 columns height we put
36 links.

Arrange and tie the links at its proper location from up to downer ones, after finishing tie the
hooks(clips) on both axes of each link.

Columns formwork

We use plywood of thickness 15mm

Timber used are 4by 2

Setting out for concrete cover by using a dumpy level the we drill and fix a small piece of bar to protect
the side boards.
Measure and cut two equal column side board with the same height and same length to that of the
column and fix them on a column opposite to each other. Then measure and cut two other equal boards
with different height to the first two boards to avoid joints to be at same height and with a length of
more two times the thickness of the board and nail them in the first two opposite side boards to flush
with them. Join another board on each side up to the beam and slab soffits

Nail the studs (4by 2) on each board at the corner and in middle way by spacing them.

Drill holes for big columns to fix tie rods, then first fix plastic tubes in the drilled holes for fixing tie rods
for easy removal after casting. Fix the tie rods in the plastic tubes, then add two scaffolding pipes on
each tie rod (one up and another one down) then two workers start to tie one each side.

Staircase walls formwork

Drill and fix a small piece of bar on concrete cover line to work as a spacers and also cut another bar
pieces (same to the wall thickness) then we tie them on staircase reinforcement bars for spacing.

Measuring plywood boards and transfer them using a tower crane and fix them in its proper positions,
then they are plumbed using a plumb bob and join them by nailing. The inside boards at staircase ways
around the flight are to be first measured and cut for treads and steps. After nailing we add a tie rod for
more support.

Staircase wall concrete

Staircase walls are casted with concrete C30 compressive strength. Pouring concrete while poke

Staircase wall formwork removal

After stair concrete has set we start removing formwork for about after one week, removing formwork
using clubbers and hammers.

Lift walls

Lift walls are of thickness 200mm with length 2600mm and width 2400mm which are well reinforced.

Lift walls rebar

The bars used are Y10, Y12 and Y16 with both splicing and lapping.

For vertical bar from basement floor to basement floor 01 we use Y16 by splicing and those from
basement floor 01 to lower ground floor are joined by lapping with a lapping of 700mm. arrange vertical
bars by one short and next one long with a difference of 500mm to avoid joints to be at same height
with bar spacing of 150mm. at the opening up the vertical bars are bent on both side and they run from
top of the opening up to the slab.

The horizontal bars are bent on both side for anchor and they are Y10 with a bar spacing of 200mm
