Three-Phase Temporary Service Entrance


Three-Phase Temporary Service Entrance usually seen in construction sites that provides electrical supply for construction works. Usually serves electricity for engineering office, barracks, stock rooms, tower crane, welding machines, lightings and other construction equipments that needs supply of electricity. It is required and economical if the duration of the construction will take a long period of time and for large projects rather than using generators. Some electrical utility provider imposed some standards for a particular service entrance before they provide electricity.

Reinforcement Bar


Reinforcement Bar or also called "rebar" is a structural steel and basic construction material usually used for construction. Used in foundation and structural frame of a particular structure. Form and cut into different sizes and lengths to come up into desired design before concreting. Usually used for foundations, columns, beams and slab of building structure. Proper installation must be observed before concreting to achieve necessary strength of structure. Varies from different sizes and lengths depending on application and widely available in the market.

Sand-Bedding


This is a process called sand bedding usually applied during embedding pipes to secure slope and protection of pipe during back filling of earth fills. Also applies in laying reinforce concrete pipes for drainage system and pvc pipes for sewerage system

Particular Procedure of Saand-bedding

1. excavation and clearing of pipe line
2. securing right elevation and slope
3. applying sand bedding before pipe laying
4. laying of pipes
5. filling of sand to cover the pipes
6. back filling of soil to cover the whole pipe line

Back Hoe


Back Hoe was considered as one of the primary heavy equipment used in construction. This equipment usually mobilize first in construction for clearing debris, excavation of foundation, hauling and lifting some heavy materials. Sometimes called the "Big Arm" because it function as a helping arm in construction that makes some construction works much easier.Skilled operator was required to operate this equipment. Proper maintenance and use of this equipment will help to prolong the lifespan of the back hoe.From the time it was made until to date, many engineers and contractors use this equipment because for playing a vital role in construction.

Dump Truck


Dump trucks are widely used in construction to haul in and out debris, soil and other materials. It is very important to have dump trucks in a large project. It plays a great role in clearing a project and transporting large quantity of dumping materials such as sand, gravel, soil, etc. from one place to another which were needed in construction.

Construction


Construction is a process of building a particular structure that requires significant design, absolute preparation, manpower selection, equipment preparation and material requirements and standards. Before construction, architects and engineers design a structure that will ensure safety, stability and elegance of a building. Registered engineers and architects are selected to make a team that will build and ensures that the building were constructed as per design and specifications. Equipments were also used in construction making some work process faster and easier. These equipments provides very significant assistance in construction such as lifting, hauling, traveling, etc.. Another aspect of construction is the material requirements. We must also focus our attention in the materials we will use in construction by applying the right standards. Sub-standard materials may affect the credibility and stability of a particular structure. Construction therefore is a multi-tasking activity that requires skill, knowledge, time, money and people to execute it in a rightful way.
