VIDEO CHOICE – PETRONAS TOWERS

Assignment

1. Discuss the specifications of concrete used in the superstructure of Petronas Towers.

Concrete played a major role in the construction; Concrete was made to withstand 20,000
pounds per inch in compressive strength testing by Universal Testing Machine and then
Admixture of silica was added to the concrete mix to achieve the required strength.

2. Explain the process of execution of raft foundation work for Petronas Towers.
Arrangement of huge Piles were utilized around the profundity of 120 meter down through
the hard soil layers underneath. Since, no legitimate review was accomplished for the
establishment and it was discovered later that the dirt had rotted limestone on one side and
opposite side was on the edge of the precipice milder weak stone which would disintegrate
under enormous load of the pinnacle.
Immense solid pontoon was developed with heaps on the base which took 52 hours of
cementing with no break. To handle awful climate condition, for example, downpour the
establishment chunk was covered by bazaar tents (56).

3. Explain the process of fabrication of the pinnacle of the Petronas Towers.

60-meter steel sections were utilized which were tenderly tapping to the drag on a top. The zenith
for the Petronas tower were produced off site. One came from Japan for tower 1 and another came
from Korea for tower 2.

4. Discuss the foundation strata details for Petronas Tower Construction.

The establishment had no bed rock and had shaky dregs. it was discovered later that the dirt had
rotted limestone on one side and opposite side was on the edge of the precipice milder weak stone.

5. Discuss the significance of the connecting bridge between the two towers.
It was an emblematic door to the new Malaysia. Yet, the significant explanation was for
crisis administrations (fire wellbeing for instance). Thus, in crisis individuals can move
between various towers without any problem. Indeed, even air stream testing was
accomplished for the scaffold to permit extension to move openly.

6. Describe the lifting operations of the connecting bridge of Petronas Towers.

The Bridge was assembled on ground and then was lifted by using 16 hydraulic jacks.
Which were needed to be tightened and reset after lifting bridge at a particular height.
7. List different construction equipment’s used in the entire project (entire video clip).
The rundown of the hardware's are as following:

1.Bulldozer

2.Loader

3.Excavato

4.Tower crane

5.Paver

6.Stevens

7.Grader

8.Batching plant

8. Discuss how the time-cost-quality pyramid of Project Management is achieved in this

project.
Time-cost-quality was accomplished by recruiting various organizations for the two
pinnacles.
Thus, the two organizations will have a solid rivalry for finishing the pinnacle in the assessed
time. This was first time in Malaysia that two organization were employed for a similar task
for superstructure development. This choice assisted them with finishing the venture in
given time i.e., 6 years and real undertaking time was 8 years. Which lead the undertaking
to be more cost full of feeling and have great quality control. The work was accomplished
for 24 hours 7 days every week to accomplish the objective.
