 CHAPTER 1
1.1 THE PARLIAMENTARY BUILDING

Parliament House is located at Plot 16 – 18 Parliamentary Avenue and 13-15 Sir Apollo Kaggwa
road. The Building comprises 350 rooms. The foundation stone for the Parliament Building was
laid on December 18, 1956, by the then Governor of Uganda Sir Andrew Cohen.

Construction of the main building commenced in 1958. On October 5, 1962 the then Prime
Minister Apollo Milton Obote laid the foundation stone for the Independence Arch, at the
entrance to the Parliamentary Building.

The Building comprises three wings; the South, North and East Wings. The main entrance to
Parliament Building is through the South Wing end.

Figure 1.1: The Parliament building

1.2 BRIEF BACKGROUND OF THE ORGANIZATION

The parliament of the republic of Uganda was established in 1962, soon after the country’s
independence. The foundation stone of the parliament of the republic of Uganda was laid by
then, the Governor of the republic of Uganda, sir. Andrew Cohen.

1
The Parliament of Uganda derives its mandate and functions from the 1995 Constitution, the
Laws of Uganda and its own Rules of Procedure.
The Constitution contains articles which provide for the establishment, composition and
functions of the Parliament of Uganda and empowers Parliament "to make laws on any matter
for the peace, order, development and good governance of Uganda", and "to protect the
Constitution and promote democratic governance in Uganda".

1.3 SPECIAL FEATURES

The Chamber is the most important room in Parliament House. It occupies the ground floor.
This is where MPs meet to transact business during the plenary of Parliament.

The Independence Arch is the major feature at the main entrance to the Parliamentary Building
along the Parliamentary Avenue. It is a historical monument that was constructed to
commemorate the independence of Uganda in 1962.

The Coat of Arms, one of Uganda’s national symbols, is placed in the foyer to the left of the
entrance to the Parliament Chamber.

The Water Tower: at the top of the Water Tower is the tank that supplies water to the entire
Parliament Building. On top of it is a light, which when switched on, especially after dark,
signifies that the House is sitting.

The Parliamentary Corridor of Honor: located on the First Floor of the South Wing, the
Parliamentary Corridor of Honor has portraits of the Speakers and Deputy Speakers of
Parliament since independence. There are also pictures of MPs and other persons on important
Parliamentary and other occasions.

In the foyer of Parliament above the entrance to the Chamber is a wooden screen art-piece
showing Uganda’s rich flora and fauna. It was designed by John Mayo in the 1960s. It covers the
ground, first and second floors.

1.4 COMPOSITION OF THE 10TH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA

The 10th Parliament of Uganda comprises of: 290 Constituency Representatives, 112 District
Woman Representatives, 10 Uganda People's Defense Forces Representatives, 5 Representatives
of the Youth, 5 Representatives of Persons with Disabilities, 5 Representatives of Workers, 18
Ex-officio Members

1.5 MISSION

"To achieve improved accountability, rule of law and national development within a multi-party
democracy system in Uganda"

2
1.6 VISION

"To be a Vibrant, independent and people-centered Parliament"

1.7 FUNCTIONS OF THE PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA

1. To pass laws for the good governance of Uganda.

2. To provide, by giving legislative sanctions taxation and acquisition of loans, the means of
carrying out the work of Government.

3. To scrutinize Government policy and administration through the following:

 Pre-legislative scrutiny of bills referred to the Parliamentary committees by

Parliament.
 Scrutinizing of the various objects of expenditure and the sums to be spent on
each.
 Assuring transparency and accountability in the application of public funds.
 Monitoring the implementation of Government programs and projects.

4. To debate matters of topical interest usually highlighted in the President's State of the
Nation address.

5. To vet the appointment of persons nominated by the President under the Constitution or
any other enactment.

1.9 TASKS/ACTIVITIES

 Plumbing maintenance
 Regular inspection of the plumbing systems and appliances and initiating of plumbing
repair works
 Water proofing of the southern wing balconies and the area near the water tower
 Air condition maintenance
 Others included switching on of the Air Handling Units of the chambers and the
Conference Hall in case the rooms were in use.

1.10 MAINTENANCE

For managing, supervising and monitoring all repair and maintenance work. Before we get into
the nuts-and-bolts of building maintenance and repair, a long, hard look around the building and
asking a few key questions:

The answers to these questions helped to understand what needed to be done, and where to begin
from, in improving the maintenance and repair of the building. Most likely, the place to start was
the Maintenance & Repair Committee.

We looked at what shape the building is in, how it looks, inside and outside, and how it’s to be
lived in/used. And also find if there are any obvious, immediate repairs needed.

We did practice preventive maintenance, including energy conservation and weatherization, to

avoid future repair problems.

I joined the established maintenance and repair committee under which we got the way about to
solve the problems at hand as they arose.

The committee has clearly-defined written procedures for setting priorities and making needed
repairs.

We conduct regular surveys of the Parliamentary building and in the Development house and
gave in all repair request forms, so that the committee has up-to-date information.

 CHAPTER 2
2.1 WATER PROOFING THE SOUTH BALCONY

Waterproofing is the process of making an object or structure waterproof or water resistant, so

that it remains relatively unaffected by water or resisting the ingress of water under specified
conditions. Such items may be used in wet environments or under water to specified depths.

Waterproofing is used in reference to building structures (such as basements, decks or wet areas),
watercraft, canvas, clothing (raincoats waders), electronic devises and paper packaging (such as
milk and juice cartons)

In construction, a building or structure is waterproofed with use of membranes and coatings to

protect contents as well as protecting structural integrity.

In building construction waterproofing is a fundamental aspect of creating a building envelope,

which is a controlled environment. Many types of waterproof membrane systems are available,
including felt paper or tar paper with asphalt or tar to make built-up roof, other bituminous
waterproofing, EPDM rubber, hypalon, polyvinyl chloride, liquid roofing, and more.

2.2 IMPORTANCE OF WATERPROOFING

Water damage, water accumulation, and flooding are the most common reasons that cause
damage to the building and property. Some of the importance of waterproofing include the
following:

Water proofing adds life to the structure: Waterproofing measures help in reducing the moisture
content of the building, which helps in having a confortable stay since it avoids leakages.

Figure 2.1: Signs of ingress of water in the concrete slab

Waterproofing saves money: Waterproofing is a process that is completed for a better future. It
saves the owner of the building to incur expenses of repairs in the future.

5
It protects the interior: Waterproofing on structures protects the steel bars in concrete from
ingress of water which may lead to corrosion and thus preventing failure of a structure.

It also avoids the basements from flooding.

2.3 PREPARATION OF THE BALCONY FOR WATERPROOFING

Step 1: Dis-junctioning the paving slabs

The paving concrete slabs were disjunctioned carefully avoiding damaging and breaking then by
jackhammering at the joint using a chisel and a hammer. The paving slabs were carefully
removed and placed together in piles. These slabs were to be reused after the membrane was
applied.

Figure 2.2: Disjunctioning the paving slabs

Step 2: Demolition of the bedding sand

The bedding sand was then demolished by jackhammering. This took us some great time as the
bedding sand had tightly set over the years. A pick axle was also used to make the demolition
faster.

Figure 2.3: Demolition of the bedding sand

6
2.4 MAKING OF PRECAST CONCRETE PAVERING SLABS

The main objective as to why new slabs were made was to replace the broken and damaged slabs
which were affected during the chiseling in the process of removing them from the balcony.

Tools/equipment used

 Trowel  Mold  Spirit level

 Spade  Brush
 Timber stakes  Tape measure
Procedure

The dimensions of the precast concrete slabs that were removed from the balcony prior to the
application of the bitumode APP water proof membrane were taken and found to be
458mm×305mm ×30mm.

Pieces of wood were obtained and molds were made according to the dimensions of the old
precast slabs. The molds should be accurate in size to prevent discontinuity during the
installation of the paving slabs.

Figure 2.4: Aligning the slab mold

The materials needed for the manufacture of new precast concrete slabs to replace the broken
and damaged ones were obtained that is stone dust (3/8) and cement. The other ingredient needed
is clean water.

A special mix design to produce the high strengths required for pavers was developed. A mix
design of 1:1 was used for the production of the concrete pavers with high strength for durability.
A trowel was used cast the prepared fresh concrete in the wooden molds and left to dry.

7
 Figure 2.5: Casting the paving slabs in the molds

A finishing was applied on the slabs using a brush. They were brushed on the surface with little
water in order to make their surface rough and have a stone-like finish because slippery slabs
may lead to sliding and accidents. The paving slabs were left to dry and cured.

Figure 2.6: Drying the paving slabs

8
2.5 APPLICATION OF WATER PROOF MEMBRANE

The purpose of the application of waterproofing is to prevent the water to percolate or penetrate
into any underground concrete members. When the water penetrates into the sub-grade
foundation, the steel reinforcements that are embedded in the concrete would corrode due to
chemical reaction caused by the water and the structure would eventually fail.

The membrane used was a bitumode APP (atactic polypropylene) waterproof membrane (4mm
thickness)

The waterproof membrane was applied on the South wing balcony on the building because there
was a lot of leakage to the offices below in the basement. It was also applied near the water
tower area due to leakages in the store.

Tools used

 Brush  Wooden piece  Tape measure

 Gas torch  Cutting knife

Work procedure

Step 1: Work preparation

After the removal of the precast concrete pavers and the bedding sand, any undulations or
protrusions on the surface were removed in order to obtain a smooth surface. The surface was
thoroughly cleaned and made free of any dust or dirt loose materials.

Figure 2.7: Thoroughly cleaned dust free surface

Step 2: Application on a primer (Polycoat)

The blinding surface was primed with a primer prior to the placing of the membrane. The primer
used was polycoat emulsion. Polycoat acts as a moisture-vapor barrier on block works and
concrete surfaces. The polycoat was first prepared by mixing it with water to make it liquid.

9
The primer is left to dry for 24 hours and inspected thoroughly after its placement.

a) Application of primer using a brush b) Surface applied with primer

Figure 2.8: Application of polycoat

Step 3: Application of the membrane

The installation of the membrane was performed using fed propane gas torch, a wooden piece to
seal the seams of the membrane, bucket of water for Deeping in the wooden piece before using it
for sealing. This is because the membrane is very hot after it is burnt. A cutting knife was also
used for cutting the membrane and a tape measure for measuring the piece to be cut.

The membrane is then placed in the correct torching on position then re-rolled for about half of
its length without changing its orientation.

A gas burner is used to light the torch and then heat the thermo fusible film on the underside of
the membrane

Figure 2.9: Torch membrane application

10
The membrane is then un-rolled again and torched on pressing melted area against the polycoat
on the substrate concrete using the wooden piece.

This is repeated till the entire area is covered and the membrane is bonded firmly onto the
surface then the second membrane is laid in the same way with an overlap of 150mm at the end
and 100mm at the side

The installation is then inspected for any discontinuities and loose bonds especially at the edge
and curved edge like around the columns

Figure 2.10: Finished surface

Figure 2.11: Cross-section

11
2.6 RE-INSTALLING THE PRECAST CONCRETE PAVERS

The precast concrete pavers were prepared to be reinstalled including the newly made concrete
pavers that were to replace the damaged ones. The pavers were to be placed on the membrane.

Three concrete pavers were first placed at the edge of the project area to act as references. A
string was run from the first paver to the middle and to the last reference paver to indicate the
desired finished height. Setting out of datum points is necessary to assist in to achieving falls,
straight lines and curves.

For proper drainage, the string was at a certain slope set out according to datum points provided
by the engineer. The area needs to have gradient or slope, so water can run off the pavers to
prevent pooling or ponding that can damage the pavement over the long term.

Figure 2.12: Reference precast concrete pavers

Lake sand was thoroughly mixed with little amounts of cement and water to make a fairly wet
paste to be placed on the bitumode APP water proof membrane prior to the placement of the
pavers. In most cases only lake sand without cement is used, but it was decided that little
amounts of cement should be added for better grip.

Figure 2.13: Mixing of sand, cement and water

12
The concrete pavers were then carefully placed following the string height as the reference for
the finishing height of the pavers. The maximum recommended joint width is 3/8 in (10mm).
Pavers are placed with a slight twisting motion to help ensure adhesion of the mortar to the
bottom of the paver. Each paver is tapped with a rubber mallet to further bed each into the
mortar. An occasional paver should be lifted after this process to be sure there is full coverage of
the mortar against the bottom of the paver.

Figure 2.14: Finished placed pavers

For the placements on curved edges for example the columns, a grinder was used to shape the
pavers in order to fit on these edges.

The grinder was connected to power and a shaping blade fitted. It is advisable to wear safety
glasses when using a grinder to protect the eyes from sharp particles.

To place the concrete pavers around the circular columns, a tape measure and marking tool was
used to measure and mark off the undesired part on a whole rectangular concrete paver. The
undesired part was then cut off using a grinder then the paver is fitted around the column.

Figure 2.15: Cut pavers fitted around columns

13
After placing the pavers in position, a strong mortar mix was mixed in a ratio of 1:2:3 (water to
cement to sand) for jointing of the placed pavers. The pavers were then jointed carefully with the
mortar.

Figure 2.16: Jointed concrete paving slabs

 CHAPTER 3
3.1 WATER PROOFING NEAR THE WATER TOWER

3.1.1 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE

Survey

Prior to the demolishing of the concrete slab joint, a simple distress survey was carried. Typical
distress observed during the survey included deteriorated joints with spalling. This caused
ingress of water through the joint and the concrete thus leaking to the stores below. There was
need to address the leakage and it was decided that the joint should be removed and the area be
treated with a water proof membrane then cast concrete to replace the joint.

Figure 3.1: Deteriorated joint with spalling

Saw cutting the boundaries and removal

The candidate repair section was identified and marked with a marking tool with the help of a
string. A total width of 1400mm was demolished. A length of 700mm from the joint was marked
off of both sides to determine where the masonry saw is cut through. The limits of the area were
sawed in the transverse and longitudinal direction in small portions using a concrete saw and
jack hammering of the concrete.

Figure 3.2: Saw cutting the boundaries

15
Initial base preparation

At this point all concrete debris from the concrete removal operation was cleared. The surface
was thoroughly cleaned and made free of any dust or dirt loose materials. A primer and the
bitumode APP water proof membrane were applied.

a) Applied primer b) Membrane application

Figure 3.3: Base preparation

Little amounts of water and cement are sprinkled on the edges of the cut area prior to the casting
of the concrete (at the thickness) for proper binding of the freshly prepared concrete with the old
cast concrete at the edges.

Figure 3.4: Sprinkling cement at the edges

Preparing the concrete

Portland Type I cement, masonry/builders sand and gravel and water were gathered for mixing.
A ratio of 1:2:3 (cement to sand to gravel) was used.

Prepare the dry mix by mixing the cement mix and sand. Spread the cement sand mixture and
then add gravel on top of the mixture.

16
 Figure 3.5: Concrete preparation

Add water to the mixture slowly, mixing continuously until the concrete becomes plastic enough
and ready to be placed. Continue mixing the concrete until it has a uniform consistency.

Casting the concrete

The fresh concrete was then cast at the site tapping all the edges removing air pockets, and let it
settle evenly and firmly. A metallic float was used to level the concrete across the top to remove
any protrusions and a wooden rammer was used to thoroughly compact the cast concrete
removing any void spaces.

a) Compacting the concrete b) Leveling the concrete

Figure 3.6: Casting the concrete

Applying a finish

The cast concrete was left for some few hours for it to partially set and a rough finish by
brooming was applied to the concrete. The concrete was left to attain its maximum strength and
it was cured three times each day for a week.

17
 Figure 3.7: Rough finish by brooming

The work space was then cleaned and all the tools. All remaining debris were cleared as soon as
the casting was finished.

 CHAPTER 4
4.1 PLUMBING MAINTENANCE

Preventative care and maintenance of the parliamentary building plumbing

This covers the plumbing system that operates toilets, sinks, showers, and bathtubs in the
building, it also covers utility sinks, and drains that may be installed.

a) Look for signs of leaks in exposed pipes, where pipes run through the walls or the
foundation of the building. Signs of a leak include puddles of water and watermarks.

b) Look for signs of corrosion. Corrosion of pipes can cause leaks and bad pipe connections
if not corrected. A sign of corrosion is green stains around brass and copper fittings and
on shutoff valves, and yellow or orange stains on old steel pipe.

c) Test water pressure: Water pressure is with how much force the water comes out of sink
faucets and showerheads. Low water pressure can be a sign of sediment build up in the
faucet or shower head. It may also be a sign of a problem with the water line.

d) Check each sink, shower and tub drain for the speed of drainage. Slow drainage usually
indicates a clog in the drain or a blocked vent pipe. Make sure the drains have a full swirl
when draining. If bubbles appear when water is draining, this is usually a sign of a
problem. If there are gurgling sounds, there may be venting problems

e) Check the flushing handle and inside parts of the toilets. Flush each toilet to make sure
that it is flushing properly. Check the parts inside the tank of the toilet to see if any parts
are broken, rusted, or missing. Make sure the toilet water does not continue to run after
flushing and make sure there is no sign of water on the floor around the toilet.

f) Look for cracked tiles around sinks, or near water pipes in the building. Loose or hollow
tiles can be an indication that there is, or was, a leak that has caused rotting underneath or
behind the tile. Water that goes through the cracks will look like a plumbing leak on the
ceiling below.

g) See if tub, sink or toilet caulking (sealing) is coming off. Check for mildew/rot, which is
caused by standing water that may have dried up again. Push and pull gently on each
toilet to see if it rocks or moves.

h) Turn on all of the faucets in all wash rooms to see if there is any water coming out of the
handles and valves.

The inspection helped in addressing these problems on a regular basis and also helped us to
prevent the problems from becoming worse, which can save quite a bit of money on the long run.
Therefore, taking a few minutes to inspect the plumbing system is time well spent.

19
4.2 FLASH TOILETS

A flush toilet is a toilet that disposes of human liquid and solid waste, by using water to flush it
through a drainpipe to another location for disposal, thus maintaining a separation between
humans and their excreta.

Flushing mechanisms are found more often on sitting-style toilets, but many squat toilets also are
made for automated flushing. Modern toilets incorporate an "S", "U", "J", or "P" shaped bend
that causes the water in the toilet bowl to collect and act as a seal against sewer gases. Since
flush toilets are typically not designed to handle waste on site, their drain pipes must be
connected to waste conveyance and waste treatment systems.

Operation

A toilet works because of gravity. When a flush lever is pulled, a plug will open, allowing water
to flow to fill the basin. When the basin is full enough, gravity causes the liquid to flow through
a bend in the pipe, called an S trap.

A flush toilet disposes of our wastes products by using water to send through a drainage pipe to
another location. It is sometimes called a water closet, or WC.

The toilet bowl usually has a ring-shaped seat on top, which is covered by the lid when not in
use. The handle/button is pressed to the flush toilet. The water used for flushing is stored in the
tank (also called a cistern).

Figure 4.1: Main parts of a toilet

The cistern contains some important parts. The inlet valve controls the water supply coming into
the cistern. It lets water in when the cistern is empty, and stops water from coming in when the
tank is full.

20
The float rod attached to it presses against the inlet valve. When the cistern is full, the rod is
pressing against the inlet valve hard enough to turn the water off. This stops the cistern from
overflowing.

Figure 4.2: Parts of a typical cistern

When you press the handle, the lever inside the cistern pulls the piston up, forcing the water
through the siphon. This provides suction in the siphon, and the rest of the water follows,
emptying the tank.

Figure 4.3: A toilet cistern emptying

The tank empties quite quickly, and the float ball floats to the bottom. That means the float rod is
no longer pressing against the valve, so water begins to flow into the tank, filling it up again.

21
 Figure 4.4: A toilet cistern empty

The water which left the cistern through a short pipe to the toilet bowl, sloshes around the rim
down the sides of the bowl and out through the drain pipe thus cleaning the bowl and carrying
the waste with it.

Figure 4.5: The way water flows from the cistern through the toilet bowl and out

Some of the clean water coming behind remains at the bottom of the bowl. That’s because
modern toilets have an ‘S’ bend which remains filled with water between escaping from the
drain pipe. During flushing the ‘S’ bend also provides siphon action which helps speed up the
flushing process.

4.3 REPLACEMENTS OF TOILETS

The northern wing water tank that supplies the northern wing water appliances is located at the
6th floor of the building. Therefore there is no elevation of the tank above the point where the 6th
floor water appliances are located and in effect there is low pressure in the taps and the filling
rate of the toilet cisterns is low as compared to the lower flows. Pressure increases with increase
in depths.

In the case of this tank, the force is due to the weight of the water above the point where the
pressure is being determined. The pressure exerted by a column of water is directly proportional
to the height of the column and the density of the water and is independent of the cross-sectional
area of the column.

22
The installed toilets on the Northern wing were of a small capacity cistern (about 5 liters) and
could take quite many hours to fill. There was need to install toilets of greater flushing power
with power in mind and could work properly even when there was low pressure. To solve the
problem, toilet of a larger cistern capacity (about 9 liters) and 1.6 gallons per flush type were
improvised to be installed.

4.4 REMOVING THE OLD WC PAN (P-TRAP)

The right equipment required were gathered (adjustable wrench, screw driver, bolts, knife, old
towels to set the toilet on after it has been removed to avoid cracking or damaging the ceramic
tile floor.

The water supply was shut off. After the water supply is disconnected, flush the toilet several
times repeatedly removing the water from inside the cistern and most of the water from the bowl.
The remaining water in the bowl is removed with a container to scoop it out.

Remove the lid from the cistern and unscrew the nuts that attach it to the wall and to the water
supply line. Then remove the tank from the bowl.

Remove the caps that cover the bolts on the base of the toilet and unscrew the nuts located under
the caps from the floor using an adjustable wrench.

A utility knife was then used to loosen the silicon sealant between the bowl and the floor and
then the toilet was freed by rocking it from side to side. Lift the toilet away onto and old towel.

4.5 INSTALLATION OF A P-TRAP TOILET

Figure 4.6: Working Drawings

23
Step 1

Remove the existing toilet: Turn off the water supply and flush the toilet, then sponge out all
remaining water from the cistern. Disconnect the supply shut-off valve, and remove the old pan
and cistern.

Step 2

Define the position of connector: Place the connector onto the pan, position between outlet and
waste pipe. With the pan and the cistern correctly positioned mark off the points for drilling both
on the floor and the wall.

Step 3

Drill 5/16” (8mm) mounting hole at the marked locations. Insert anchors into the holes. Place the
pan and align anchoring holes position. Tighten screws using an adjustable wrench and attach the
bolt caps on the pan screws. Ensure that the pan is to level using a spirit level

Figure 4.7: Drilling the WC pan mounting holes

Step 4

Cistern Mounting Hole: Using a 6 bit, drill the cistern mounting holes at the marked locations
and insert the anchors. Position the cistern, tighten the screws and attach the caps. Assemble the
flush valve.

24
 Figure 4.8: Drilling the cistern mounting holes

Step 5

Position the cistern on the pan by centering the gasket on the pan inlet. Assemble the retaining
washing and sealing washer to the screw. Securely tighten the screw so the cistern is leveled.

Figure 4.9: Positioning the cistern

Step 6

Connect the supply shut-off valve to the supply hose and connect supply hose to the supply
shank. Then Seal the base of the toilet with sealant. Tub and bath silicon sealant is appropriate

25
4.6 REMOVING THE OLD TOILET (S-TRAP)

Step 1

Turn off the water supply for the toilet. There is a supply valve located below the left side of the
tank and a supply line that extends from the base of the wall or floor.

Step 2

Flush the toilet several times repeatedly and remove any remaining water from the tank and bowl
using a container to scoop it out and a sponge. Disconnect the supply line from the bowl

Step 3

Remove the tank top and set it flat on an old rug on the floor. Don't prop this fragile top against a
wall close to where you're working. If it falls, or if you bump into it while trying to maneuver the
heavy toilet pieces, it will probably break.

Step 4

Remove the tank from the bowl. It is attached by a pair of bolts near the center of the bowl where
it meets the tank. These bolts pass from inside the tank through the mounting flange at the back
of the bowl. Simply remove the nuts and lift the bowl off the gasket. For the bolts that are rusty
and the nuts are difficult to remove, use WD-40 liquid spray to make then loose.

Step 5

Remove the bolt caps from the base of the toilet and take out the closet bolts. Some toilets will
have four closet bolts mounting them to the floor. Most will have only two

Step 6

Rock the bowl to free it from its wax gasket. The gasket is a sticky, dirty mess, and the wax from
common bowl gaskets is difficult to clean off any surface. Plug the drain hole to keep the gases
from escaping into the room.

Step 7

Use a putty knife to scrape the wax or putty from the base of the bowl and the mounting flange
on the floor. Clean and level the mounting surface before installing the new toilet.

26
4.7 INSTALLATION OF AN S-TRAP TOILET

Step 1

Set the bowl: First, insert closet bolts that slide into the flange, and place them in a line parallel
to the wall behind the toilet (these screw into the floor), install the new bolts in place of the old
ones.

Figure 4.10: Closet bolts

Step 2

Turn the bowl over on the floor. Put something under it (a rug or blanket) to prevent damage.
Install the wax ring on the waste horn with the tapered end facing the toilet. The waste horn is
the protrusion on the base of the toilet that extends into the flange. A warm wax ring is softer and
easier to work with.

Figure 4.11: Wax ring installed

Step 3

Unplug the waste drain hole and position the toilet on the flange. Loosely install the retainer
washers and nuts. Make sure the tapered washers are installed with the appropriate side up.

27
 Figure 4.12: Positioning the toilet on the flange

Step 4

Position the toilet and gently press down against the wax ring and flange with a rocking motion.
With the bowl in place, tighten the nuts on the closet bolts by alternating from side to side so
you'll more evenly distribute the pressure.

Figure 4.13: Tightening the nuts

Step 5

Install the bolt caps on the closet bolts. After the installation is complete and you've checked to
be sure there are no leaks, you can seal the base of the toilet with sealant. Tub and bath silicon
sealant is appropriate. It can be applied from a tube and smoothed with a wet finger.

Step 6

Install the tank: First install the large rubber gasket over the outlet on the bottom of the tank.
Insert the tank mounting bolts and rubber washers from inside the tank, through the mounting
area of the bowl.

28
Step 7

Place the tank in position and alternately tighten the nuts until the tank is securely fastened to the
bowl. Then install the toilet seat.

Step 8

Install the water supply line. A new flexible supply line was used which made this step easy. The
line shouldn’t be crimped to prevent obstruction of the flow of water and weakening the line,
possibly causing it to leak.

4.8 OTHER PLUMBING MAINTENANCE WORKS AND REPAIRS

4.8.1 Fixing of leaking faucets

Faucet leaks were checked regularly to catch them early. A small leak in a faucet or shower
could get worse over time. The amount of water that is leaking may seem insignificant, but even
a little water can cause water damage which can be quite costly to repair.

Figure 4.14: Fixing of leaking faucets

29
4.8.2 Clearing slow drains
Debris that had collected in sink, wash hand basins and urinal drains caused the water to drain
slower and slower over time. It only took us a few minutes to clear the debris out of the drain of
a particular plumbing appliance and get it flowing again. For the urinals the bottle traps were
removed and cleaned of any debris.

Figure 4.15: Slow draining urinal

4.8.3 Installation of new bottle traps

New bottle traps were installed on urinals, and wash hand basins and kitchen sinks in case their
bottle traps were worn out and leaking. A simple survey was carried out to determine the bottle
traps that needed to be replaced. The materials needed for the installation of the bottle traps were
gathered and new bottle traps were installed.

a) Replacing urinal bottle traps b) Replacing of kitchen bottle traps

Figure 4.16: Installation of new bottle traps

30
4.8.4 Replacement of the pan to pipe connectors

The new pan is placed in position and it’s alignment to the soil pipe checked. This will give you
a good idea of which pan-to-soil-pipe connector you will need.

There are a variety of connectors to account for most situations. When choosing the right one the
following dimensions should be noted:

 The external diameter of the pan outlet pipe.

 The distance between the outlet and the pipe when the pan is in position.
 The internal diameter of the soil pipe.
 Make sure you check the connection between the soil pipe and the pan before
permanently fixing the pan to the floor.

Depending on the type of pan you are planning to fit, it may be necessary to trim the soil pipe
using a chain-link soil pipe cutter.

Once the sitting of the new pan is proper and the connection with the soil pipe, then:

 Push the plastic connector onto the pan outlet.

 Check for obstructions inside the opening to the soil pipe.
 Slide the pan into place whilst simultaneously pushing the connector firmly into the soil
pipe.

Figure 4.17: Applying silicon drops

With the soil pipe connected to the pan, the pan is now installed to the floor.

31
4.8.5 Maintenance work done on WC pans

There are many defects on connectors in number but the most common of all was the cuts that
were on the connecters. These cuts mostly developed at the top of these connecters and thus act
as escape routes of ordure (foul air), soil water, etc.

This shows that the connectors have stayed in place for a long time or some chemicals used to
clean the pan is collusive to them.

Figure 4.18: Cuts on the connector

4.8.6 Replacement/installation of new toilet seat covers

Measurements of the old seat or toilet bowl and seat fastening bolt mounting centers were made
to be sure the replacement will be a good fit. The size and spacing of mounting holes for most
modern toilets are standard, as is the width of the seat (with small variations).

32
 Figure 4.19: The dimension of the pan and seat cover

The appropriate toilet seat cover is then picked out. The toilet seats come in a variety of
materials. The most common materials include cushioned vinyl, plastic, polypropylene, real
wood and molded wood. The material that we used was cushioned vinyl. The seat in then
assembled carefully.

Figure 4.20: Assembling the seat cover

The old seat is then removed. Pry off the plastic cover pieces covering the mounting holes; then
unscrew the bolts holding the seat in place. Once it is free, simply lift the seat up and off

Put the new toilet seat: Place the new seat on top of the bowl and secure it in place with bolts.
Replace the plastic covers once the seat is in place to finish the work.

4.8.7 Sewerage over flow problems

The over flow was a common problem before the changing of the piping of the 4 inch horizontal
WC pipe that received from the 4 inch vertical WC pipe then to the sewer at the available T joint
to the 6 inch in diameter.

5.2 AIR CONDITIONING

Air conditioning is the process of altering the properties of air (primary temperature and
humidity) to more comfortable conditions, typically with the aim of disturbing the conditioned
air to an occupied space such as a building or a vehicle to improve thermal comfort and indoor
air quality.

In common use, an air conditioner is a device that removes heat from the air inside a building or
vehicle, thus lowering the air temperature. The cooling is typically achieved through a
refrigeration cycle, but sometimes evaporation or free cooling is used.

a) AC indoor unit b) AC outdoor unit

Figure 5.1: AC units

5.3 AC PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Some of the maintenance practices done on ACs include the following:

Cleaning of the AC filters – Keeping the dust out is critical to the AC system’s ability to work
efficiently. A clean filter promotes a cleaner living environment by improving on the room’s air
quality.

Cleaning of evaporator and condenser air conditioning coils – Dirty coils reduce the system’s
ability to cool the room and cause the system to run longer, increasing energy costs and reducing
the life of the equipment.

Recharging of ACs with gas – The ACs were recharged with gas depending of the prescriptions
by the manufacturer. The recharging gas that we used mostly was R22 (Chlorodifluoromethane
gas)

Replacement of the water chiller mortar – The old water chiller mortar that wasn’t functioning
was unscrewed from the chiller using Allen Keys and WD-40 was applied on the blade that was

40
connected to the mortar in order to loosen the connection. The blade was then screwed carefully
on the new mortar and then it was put in position on the chiller and screwed tightly

a) Attaching the chiller blade on the new mortar b) New mortar fixed in place

Unblocking of condensate drain – The blocked condensate drains were unblocked by pumping
air in the drains to water damage to the rooms.

 CHAPTER 6
6.1 CONCLUSION

After complete my industrial training, I had been exposed to an Engineering and plumbing
working life. Throughout my internship, I could understand more about the definition of an
Engineer and plumber and prepare myself to become a responsible and innovative Engineer in
future.

Along my training period, I realize that observation is a main element to find out the root cause
of a problem. Not only for my project but daily activities too.

During my training, I cooperated with my colleagues and operators to determine the problems.
My communication skills were strengthened as well when communicating with others.

During my training period, I have received criticism and advice from engineers and technician
when mistakes were made. However, those advices were useful guidance for me to change
myself and avoid myself making the same mistakes again.

In sum, the activities that I had learned during industrial training really are useful for me in
future to face challenges in a working environment. Throughout the industrial training, I found
that several things are important:

 Critical and Analytical Thinking

To organize our tasks and assignment, we need to analyze our problems and assignment, and to
formulate a good solution to the problem. We would have to set contingency plan for the
solution, so that we are well prepared for the unforeseeable situations.

 Time Management

As overall Engineers are always racing against tight timeline and packed schedule, a proper time
management will minimize facing overdue deadlines. An effective time management allows us
to do our assignment efficiently and meet our schedules. Scheduling avoids time wastage and
allows us to plan ahead and gaining more as a result.

 Goal Management

Opposing to a Herculean goal seemed to be reachable at first sight, it is better to sub-divide the
goals to a few achievable tasks, so that we will be gaining more confidence by accomplishing
those tasks.

42
  Colleague Interactions

In working environment, teamwork is vital in contributing to a strong organization. Teamwork is

also essential in reaching the goals of the organization as an entity. Thus, communicating and
sharing is much needed in the working environment. Therefore, we should be respecting each
other in work, and working together as a team, instead of working alone. This is because
working together as a team is easier in reaching our targets, rather than operating individually.

I would like to once again appreciate everyone who has made my industrial training a superb
experience
