 Introduction.

 Safety in site and form work types.

 Slaps and core.

 Stairs and basement.

 Column.

 Quality control and cost control.

Introduction:
Engineering training is the main and the most important course in civil
engineering department. It closes the gap between scientific study and
implementation on the site our training was organized by the college in
partnership with one of the largest constructing companies (Orascom). We saw
the construction work in zed towers project under supervision engineer who is
responsible for (Y3) tower.

Safety in site:

safety is the most important thing in site.

Everyone must follow the instructions to
be safe. safety instructions is to wear
safety shoes and helmet and safety vest to
avoid heavy machines. Must be aware
when use machines or electric hazards.
Use safety belts when standing on high
places.

Some safety precautions:

Use Tools and Machines Properly.

Use Mechanical Aids.

Wear Protective Equipment.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings.

Correct Posture Protects Your Back.

Be Alert and Awake.

Take Regular Breaks.

Form works:
steel form work consists of 5
parts called:

• Ties.
• Hangers.
• Anchors.
• Props
• Spacer from Side.

ties: A form-work tie is a tensile unit used to connect opposite

sides of the formwork.

Hanger: Form-work hanger is a device used to hang formwork

load from structural steel, precast concrete, or other

components.

Anchor: The form anchor is a device used to fix the form to the

pre-placed concrete with sufficient strength.

Props: Vertical supports under the formwork it carries a load of shuttering and other

loads.

Spacer: maintains the required distance between the vertical shuttering and the steel

bars.

Slaps:

Flat slap:
Use flat slap due to Flexibility in room layout and Partition walls can be placed
anywhere. Offers a variety of room layouts. Reinforcement placement is easier than
other types of slaps and also the reinforcement detailing of the flat slab is simple.
The Framework installation is easier. the Foundation loads will decrease due to
thickness. And it is Less construction time

Stages of construction:
first stage installation of form works after that put the reinforcement then electrical
pipes after that pouring concrete mix with precisions.

Core:

“shell and core” This

includes the core and
exterior elements along
with other construction
activities, Shell and core
buildings are commonly
used for offices, and they
are usually occupied by
multiple tenants.

Stairs:
The first stage of installing the precast stairs is to prepare the land and connect it in
the core, after that the steps of the stairs are placed by crane from the top to the
bottom if the ladder steps are higher than the height of the access hole if excavation
is done That difference from the height in the land to equal the difference, and if it is
the opposite, a plastic piece resembling is added below and between the steps of the
ladder.

Column:
A reinforced concrete column is a structural member designed to carry compressive
loads, composed of concrete with an embedded steel frame to provide reinforcement.
For design purposes, the columns are separated into two categories: short columns and
slender columns.
Constructing RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) Column involves following four
stages of works -

1. Column layout work.

2. Column reinforcement work.
3. Column formwork.
4. Pouring concrete into column.

Steel bridge:

Connecting between two buildings and contains 4 villas.

Retaining wall:

Retaining wall is structure used to maintain ground surface at different elevations on

either side of it. Retaining wall provides lateral support to vertical slopes of soil. They

retain soil which will otherwise collapse in to more natural shapes .

conclusion:

In conclusion that training with a large company like Orascom is such a great

experience for any engineer. In this training we know more about slaps, column,

foundations, cores and precast stairs. Know about construction steps for every part.

Also know the load distribution in these Highrise building.
