Question CLO-1, PLO-1, LL-C3 Total Marks: 30
Apply your apprehension of construction engineering to answer the following questions with
regards to the site visit conducted on 8th March 2024, Friday.
a. (15 Marks)
i. What types of work are underway during your visit – for example concrete pouring,
excavation of soil, steel erection, wood framing etc. Follow-up question: What are the
names of the trades performing the work you observed (carpenters, scaffolders etc.), and
what work were they performing?
ii. What are the weather conditions during your visit (temperature, precipitation, humidity,
sky cover)? How is this affecting the work?
iii. What materials are being stored, delivered, or removed from the site (excavation soil
being trucked off-site, stockpiling of lumber, plywood, aggregate etc.)
iv. What kinds of temporary supports, construction, or protection can you see (excavation
shoring, erosion control, dewatering, temporary bracing, scaffolding, formwork, tree
protection, wind protection, temporary heating, power, safety devices, etc.)? Explain
their purpose.

b. (15 Marks)
How did you inspect the slab and beam work prior to concreting (steel, electrical works, and
formwork)? Give more importance to steel work in answering this question as this was the
primary inspection done by you. Should the slab be allowed for concreting with the current
QA/QC status?
