This document contains information about an exam for a Level 2 Civil Engineering course on the Process of Realization. The exam contains 3 sections and will last 2 hours. Section I focuses on preliminary works like defining setting out and site clearance. It asks students to explain the 3:4:5 method of setting out a building and list site investigation steps. Section II covers excavation, retaining structures, defining terms like trenching and underpinning, and explaining ground water lowering methods. Section III addresses factors affecting foundation choice and construction steps for isolated footings. It asks students to discuss when raft and pile foundations are needed. The exam tests students' understanding of key preliminary work, excavation, and foundation concepts and processes for civil engineering
