 Geophysical Investigations – involve
simple methods of study made on the
surface with the aim of ascertaining

measuring certain physical properties
and interpreting them mainly in terms
of subsurface geology.

the demolition of a structure done
with some equipment without the
use of any   explosive. 
 Site Survey - are inspections of an area
where work is proposed, to gather
information for a design or an estimate
to complete the initial tasks required for
an outdoor activity.
 Demolition - is the process of
dismantling or destroying of a structure
after its life of serviceability by pre-
planned and controlled methods.

 Stripping of Formwork - The removal of
concrete formwork also called as strike-
off or stripping of formwork should be
carried out only after the time when
concrete has gained sufficient strength,
at least twice the stress to which the
concrete may be subjected to when the
formworks are removed.
 Traditional timber formwork - is built
on site out of timber and plywood or
moisture-resistant particleboard.
 Engineered Formwork System - This
formwork is built out of prefabricated
modules with a metal frame (usually
steel or aluminium) and covered on the
application (concrete) side with material
having the wanted surface structure
(steel, aluminum, timber, etc.).

molds into which concrete or similar
materials are poured. In the context of
 concrete construction, the falsework
supports the shuttering molds.
