CHAPTER ONE

1.0    INTRODUCTION

The student industrial working experience sheme is body of industrial training (IFT). The industrial training fund was established in 1971 under no 47  of the federal government, student industrial work experience sheme (SIWES) was in other hand established by the industrial fund in the year 1974 in order enhance or improve practical and technological performance of student. 

1.1 History of Kebbi Urban Development  Authority (KUDA)

            The kebbi Urban development authority (KUDA) has vowed to section defaulters of environmental law in the state. Lost in the past a result of flooding which was attributed to indiscriminate dumping of refuse in drains and waterways” Muhammad said. The general manager added that the authority had been sensitizing residents to avoid habits that would lead to flood and endanger people’s lives. According to him, the authority is evacuating refuse and clearing drainage in flood prone areas in the Birnin Kebbi metropolis and other major town in the state, as part of measures to reduce the risk of flooding in the state. He however lamented that some residents have continue to eract structures along waterways. Thereby exposing people to danger. “people should consult the authority concerned before embarking of any structure to avoid destruction of household and property as recorded in the past. “he said, Muhammad stressed that the authority would continue to collaborate with the media to enlighten the public on the importance of environmental protection. The general commended the efforts of traditional rules in encouraging their subjects to clean their environment. He called on the general public to report to the authority, any un-cleared drains refuse dump in the state, for prompt evacuation.

CHAPTER TWO

2.1 EXCAVATION:

To hollow out in building terms to remove earth to form a cavity in the ground.

2.2.1 FACTOR TO BE CONSIDERED IN SITE EXCAVATION

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

2. Size of excavation affect type of machine used and method to excavate.

3. Scale of work large volume of excavation many involve complicated phasing arrangement and work planning.

4. Ground water condition (watertight sheet piling or dewatering may be require).

2.2.2 METHOD OF EXCAVATION

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

1.      Manual method

2.      Mechanical method

Tools used in manual of excavation  

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

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

iii.                Wheelbarrows to convey the excavated soil away from the excavation areas.

2.2 FOUNDATION  

Foundation may simply be used as the process by which load is transmitted finally to the ground.

TYPES OF FOUNDATION

1.      Strip foundation

2.      Pad foundation

3.      Raft foundation

4.      Piled foundation

-          Strip foundation

STRIP FOUNDATION

This is the transfer of information on the building drawing to the ground with high degree of accuracy. When site clearance is completed the setting out of the work may begin. It is necessary to have a good knowledge of geometry in order to ensure accurate work.

2.3.1 EQUIPMENT USE FOR SETTING OUT

1. 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 the level of elements of work may be made in the course of executing the work.

2.3.2 METHOD OF SETTING OUT

1. 3, 4, 5 Method

2. The Builder Square

3. Theodolite Method

                                                                                  Pm

                                                                                   P2

                                                                                                

                                                                                                        P1         

                                                                                       P1                          Building Line

                                                                                               Line at Right Arrow to Hine Building

                                                                                                                    

                                                                                                      

2.3.3 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. Obtained tap measures. Mark four equidistance on the ranging line from the corner peg at B.

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 fourth mark at D on the raining line to point on first tape.

CHAPTER THREE

3.0 PROBLEMS/ CHALLENGES

3.1 The problem I face was lack of money, because some time I wake up in the morning I do not have anything to eat because I do not have money.

CHAPTER FOUR

4.0 SUMMARY

During the period of this training I had the opportunity of visit more than one building construction work in view, I carried out practical and was able to identify position of Administration, labour and resource through proper planning and management.  

4.1 CONCLUSION

Conclusively, I will like to appreciate the students training work experience sheme (SIWES) for the opportunity given to me, put this theory in practical experience in the field of my study (BUILDING TECHNOLOGY).

And I hope the government nation board for technical education (NBTE) and institution of higher learning should put more effort in supporting the industrial training program at every angle. So that the student who are willing and able to come to this stage will be exposed into practical work in the field of their profession

            In fact am grateful to the Ministry of Works and Transport B/Kebbi, especially town planning/building unit department and Mal. Muhammad Shekare, because he exposed me to different part on the practical work, and other staff offices in the department.

            The (SIWES) enable me to understand the relationship and working inter dependence in various section of organization.

4.2 RECOMMENDATION

            I hereby recommend that the industrial liaison unit of the school should do all the necessary things to see that there is an there will be enough time for the student to give in the exercise.
