Civil Technology focuses on concepts and principles in the built environment and on the technological process. It embraces practical skills and the application of scientific principles. Civil engineering technicians help civil engineers to plan, design, and build highways, bridges, utilities, and other infrastructure projects. They also help to plan, design, and build commercial, industrial, residential, and land development projects. Civil Technology Tools and Equipments
Tools/Equip Uses/Purpose Picture
ments 1. Trowel In masonry, a trowel is the flat tool that is used to apply and spread mortar or plaster. This type of trowel is different than a garden trowel, though. 2. Plumb A plumb bob is a Bob weighted object connected to a string that can be used to establish a vertical line. 3. Hoe A hoe is an ancient and versatile agricultural and horticultural hand tool used to shape soil, remove weeds, clear soil, and harvest root crops. Shaping the soil includes piling soil around the base of plants, digging narrow furrows and shallow trenches for planting seeds or bulbs. 4. Spade A spade is a tool primarily for digging comprising a blade – typically stunted and less curved than that of a shovel – and a long handle. Early spades were made of riven wood or of animal bones. After the art of metalworking was developed, spades were made with sharper tips of metal. 5. Digging A digging bar is a Bar long, straight metal bar used for various purposes, including as a post hole digger, to break up or loosen hard or compacted materials such as soil, rock, concrete and ice or as a lever to move objects. 6. Head Pan A round container, like a bowl, used in construction work. 7. Crow Bar The crowbar is a single metal bar with a single curved end and flattened points, often with a small fissure on one or both ends for removing nails or to force apart two objects. The iron lever is commonly used to open nailed wooden crates or pry apart boards. 8. Hammer A hammer is a tool, most often a hand tool, consisting of a weighted "head" fixed to a long handle that is swung to deliver an impact to a small area of an object. 9. Gloves Work gloves are ideal for protecting hands in the workplace and are an important safety consideration across a wide variety of industries and fields. 10. Rubber Designed to boots provide maximum support to the foot and ankle, the rubber boots are comfortable to wear and have a reinforced toecap to protect delicate toes from dropped objects and rough terrain. Safety They protect your Goggles eyes from a myriad of potential hazards at work, home and outdoors. Safety Belt A safety belt is a device that is worn around a person's waist to serve as a direct connection point to a lifeline or elevated structure. It is worn to arrest a fall and protect a worker from a sudden descent and associated hazards when working at an elevated height. Measureme A tape measure nt Tape or measuring tape is a flexible ruler used to measure size or distance. It consists of a ribbon of cloth, plastic, fibre glass, or metal strip with linear- measurement markings. It is a common measuring tool. Chisels A chisel is a tool that has a long metal blade with a sharp edge at the end. It is used for cutting and shaping wood and stone.
