HISTORY OF KEBBI URBAN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (KUDA)

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

I have undergone my industrial attachment training program. At the Kebbi Urban Development Authority Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State. This training project started from 23 October, 2017.to 12 February, 2018. As a student of building technology department, that deals with constructions work. And I undergo my industrial training at town planning department in (KUDA). 

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PLACE WERE I ATTACHED TO

HISTORY OF KEBBI URBAN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (KUDA) 

            Kebbi Urban Development Authority popularly known as (KUDA) came to being shortly after the historic birth of Kebbi State a new political entity carved out of the former Sokoto state on 27^th August. 1991, to form one of the mine- additional new states created by the present military administration of general Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida.

            Consequent to the deployment of civil servants who were indigenes of Kebbi State, from the defunct Sokoto state, the pioneer administration in the new state headed by colonel Patrick Aziza sprung into action, leading to the establishment of various ministries, Parastatals and boards thereby enhancing the immediate take-off of the new administration.

Among the early governmental organizations that have emerged was Kebbi state Urban Development Authority, autonomous Parastatals under the ministry of works and housing.

            By designation, the authority is responsible for controlling and regulating the provision of utilities, facilities and services including infrastructural development control within the state capital Birnin Kebbi and three other Urban centers namely; Argungu, Yauri, and Zuru. In each of the centre, the Authority has operational jurisdiction extending to sixteen (16) kilometer radius.

            KUDA is headed by a general manager who is ably assisted by a secretary and heads of departments of the various units through which the Authority operates. Among these unit are, administration, town planning, electrical, health, finance, civil engineering and mechanical.

            This modern edition of focus on Kebbi Urban Development Authority is enlightenment. Publication design to portry the image of this vital organization and to publicize its various activities and the nature of its services generally, for the public to understand and appreciate. 

CHAPTER TWO

SETTING OUT

            This is the transfer of information on the building drawing to the ground with high degree of accuracy. When the site clearance is completed the setting out of the work may being. It is necessary to have a good knowledge of geometry in order to ensure accurate work. The first task in setting out a building is to establish a base line from which the whole of the building can be set out. The position of this line must be marks on site so that it can be re-established at any time.

EQUIPMENT SETTING OUT

Measuring Tape: - before setting out any work the tape would be carefully checked for

accuracy.

        

2. Profiles: When setting out a building, it is an advantage if the line can be secured so that they are well clear of the building line.

 3. Datum Peg:- Before starting the actual setting out of the building. It is essential to establish a level to the site to which reference pertaining in the level of elements of work may be made in the course of executing the work.

ITEMS REQUIRED IN SETTING OUT 

1-      Timber, 75mm by 50mm or any appropriate size

2-      Nylon threads (Manila rope).

3-      Ordinary nails inch and 2 inch.

4-      Round poles to act as pegs or steel for hard chalk or line

5-      White chalk or line

6-      Panga/machete

7-      Clear hose pipe for determining horizontal levels.

8-      Sledge hammer.

METHOD OF SETTING OUT

1. 3, 4, 5 methods                                                                              

2. The builder square

3. Theodolite method

THE 3, 4, 5 METHOD

1. Mark out the building line from the main road by measuring the require distance from the center of the road or by stretching a line along an existing building to the proposed site. The building line can be represented by a line know as the ranging clines, which also mark the wall of the building.

2. Mark out the overall length of the building by driving pegs at AB along the ranging line

3. Produce two steel tapes measured and mark out four equal distance on the ranging line starting from the corner peg at B (4m).

4. Pull a tape measure from the B to C and ask assistance to hold it ready with a chamber and peg.

5. Pull second tape from the mark at D on the raining line to point on first tape.

6. The distance 5m on the DE should coincide with point 3m to tape BEC to prove that the angle B is 90⁰ (from Pythagoras theorem).

7. Repeat the same procedure to obtain the right angle from BAF, and mark out the overall width of the building.

8. Establish corner pegs and erect profiles.

9. Mark the position or partition walls on the profile with either nails or saw cuts. Ranging lines are stretched through these nails and the corner peg to establish the ground to indicate the line of excavation for the foundation trenches.

EXCAVATION: Is the removal of contained material or hazardous waste from site using heavy construction equipment or manual tools 

2.2.1 factor to be considerate in site excavation

1. Nature of subsoil effect type of machine used the necessity of soil protection   

.

METHOD OF EXCAVATION

            This is done after the setting out and making out. Excavation can be using two methods.

1.      Manual method

2.      Mechanical method

TOOLS USED IN MANUAL EXCAVATION   

i.                    Pick-axis: used for dig up the soil

 

ii.                    Shovel: used to remove the dug up soil.

 

 

iii.                    Spades- to level the bottom of the excavation and to load into the wheel barrow. 

 

Wheel barrows and head pan to convey the excavation area.

EQUIPMENT USED IN MECHANICAL EXCAVATION

1-      Back acter

2-      Mechanical auger

3-      Dump truck

4-      Tipper truck

CONCRETE

Concrete:- A composite material which consist of element sand, water and aggregate which has been mixed together, placed, consolidated and allow to solidity and hardened.

FUNCTION OF CONCRETE

1-      Durability

2-      Strength

3-      Ability to resist load

4-      Bind two solid brick together

THE NOTICE THAT KUDA ARE USING TO STOP ILLEGAL STRUCTURE

1.      Stop notice form

2.      Quit and removal notice and

3.      Demolishing notice form

 CHAPTER THREE

PROBLEMS FACE DURING SIWES

Secondly we encounter the problems of much theory than practical In the training process which supposed to be more practical activities on site due to the insistence of our KUDA base supervisor to be coming to the ministry instead of going to the site.  

 
 CHAPTER FOUR

CONCLUSION

            Conclusion:- I will like to appreciate the student training work experience scheme (SIWES) for the opportunity given to me to put this theory in practical aspect or experience in the end of my study and I m not done any practical aspect in that KUDA.

RECOMMENDATION

            I hereby recommended that student that are ND One (1) don’t even try to go Kebbi Urban Development Authority to do our SIWES. Because they don’t tech you anything consigned building.
