Quality Control




Quality control, or for short, is a process in which all persons consider the quality factors involved in the production. This approach focuses on three aspects:

1. Elements such as management, job management, defined and well managed processes, performance and integrity criteria and identification of records.

2. Competence, such as knowledge, skills, experience and qualifications.

3. Soft items such as personnel, honesty, confidence, organizational culture, motivation, team spirit, and quality relationships.

Controls include product control, where every product is inspected visually, and often using a stereo microscope for small parts before the product is sold in a foreign market. Inspectors will be provided lists and descriptions of products of unacceptable defects such as cracks or surface defects .Quality of the activities is at risk if any of these three aspects is deficient in any quality matters .Control emphasizes testing of products to uncover defects, and reporting to management who decides whether to enable or disable the output, while trying to improve the quality assurance and production of stabilized (and related processes) to avoid or at least minimize the problems which led to the defect (s) first. For contract work, particularly work awarded by government agencies, quality control is one of the main reasons for not extending the contract.

What is Civil Engineering?


Civil engineering is a field of engineering sciences related to the design, construction and operation of buildings, dams, bridges, tunnels, highways and other structures through the use of physical laws, mathematical equations and the theory of mechanics. Civil engineers use the available resources (expertise, materials and labor) to complete the project in a certain period of time, keeping in mind, the costs, environmental concerns, and physical hazards of the project.

Also known as the mother of all engineering, it is the oldest, wide, the simplest and most useful of all engineering sciences. Being wider field of civil construction is divided into the following sub-categories or fields.



  •     Geo engineering
  •     Structural design
  •     Transportation engineering
  •     Water Resources Engineering
  •     Environmental Engineering
  •     Earthquake engineering
  •     Urbanplanning

 

 

What does a Civil Engineer do?

Civil engineer, responsible for the planning, design, construction and  maintenance of structures. Civil engineer can work in the private construction companies, governmental organizations, community service or a university as a researcher or a teacher. Civil engineer can be surveyor, technical writer of the report or even the project manager.
Civil engineer is able to do the following work: .....

Construction industry

Due to the increase in the area of ​​civil construction over time, it has now got diversified into many sectors of the study. Some of them include significant construction, engineering geology, transportation engineering, hydraulic engineering, environmental protection, and a few other important areas of research.

Electrical engineering

Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. This field first became an identifiable occupation in the latter half of the 19th century after commercialization of the electric telegraph, the telephone, and electric power distribution and use. It now covers a wide range of subfields including electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, RF engineering, and signal processing.

Electrical engineering may include electronic engineering. Where a distinction is made, usually outside of the United States, electrical engineering is considered to deal with the problems associated with systems such as electric power transmission and electrical machines, whereas electronic engineering deals with the study of electronic systems including computers, communication systems, integrated circuits, and radar.

From a different point-of-view, electrical engineers are usually concerned with using electricity to transmit electric power, while electronic engineers are concerned with using electricity to process information. The subdisciplines can overlap, for example, in the growth of power electronics, and the study of behavior of large electrical grids under the control of digital computers and electronics.

Site planning




Site plan for the architectural plan, a document of landscape architecture, engineering and detailed drawing of the proposed improvements to a given lot .Plan this area usually shows a building footprint, Travel ways, parking, drainage facilities, sanitary sewer lines, water lines, trails, lighting, landscaping and garden items. This site plan "a graphical representation of the location of buildings, parking, drives, landscaping and any other structure that is part of the project development."

 Site plan is a "set of construction drawings, the builder or contractor uses to make improvements to the property. Districts can use the site to plan to make sure that the development of codes are being met and as a historical resource. Site plans are often prepared by the design consultant who must be either a licensed engineer, architect, landscape architect or land surveying. "
