Online shopping coupons Websites in India

,
Did you ever realize that buying a bottle of coke will cost you Rs 20 for 300 ml, but actual manufacturing cost of the bottle is approximate 5 rupees. Surprised ? don’t be. Actually, there are lots of overhead which is paid by the customer including company profit, government taxes, dealer profit and retailer benefits.
It means you pay almost 300 percent more than its manufacturing cost. This is the way any business run and little trick and intelligence may help you save big. Therefore, I prefer online shopping websites because most of the online shopping websites buy directly from the company and it will cut down your cost around 20 percent which will be paid to dealers and retailers.

Trends & Manufacturers: Brick making machine

,
Brick is a cheapest, easily available, man made construction material which replaced stone and rock slabs long back around 200 years ago. It has a long history and now it has become an essential construction element because it is cheap, light weight, requires less manpower skill and handling is easy than any other construction material. As I mentioned above, Brick making was completely a handmade process since arrival of brick making machines. Initially Brick making machine or clay brick making machine did not get the proper response due to cheaper labour cost in India.

The brick making machine received highest queries in last decade due to enormous growth  in construction industry dramatically raising the demand of bricks. Therefore Brick making machines came into existence to fulfil the high Brick demand to emerging construction market in India.

In this booming period, labour cost was gone up and brick manufacturers adopted the machine technology to produce bricks. The huge demand of brick manufacturing machines opened the door for numerous manufacturing companies to produce brick making machines to cater the largest unskilled manpower industry.

Listed below are some of the facts to understand advantage of brick making machine as compared to manual brick manufacturing.
  • Machine bricks are proper in shape, uniform texture and sharp corners.
  • Clay brick making machine produces homogeneous mix which cannot be achieved cent percent in manual mixing.
  • Shape and size of manual brick will not be identical due to continuous use of wooden mould as compared to machine brick, where iron moulds are being used.
The block, clay brick and fly ash brick making machine can be manually or hydraulic operated and varying outputs from 10000 to 12000 bricks per hour in large machine, whereas small machines  produce 600 to 1000 bricks per hour.
Advantage of Buying Brick making machines.
  • Big construction companies can produce bricks on site and cut down construction material cost.
  • Machine bricks available on site can produce brick as per work requirement and in-house manufacturing will give more control to ensure quality.
  • Shape and size of brick can be obtained as per the construction requirement.
  • Different types of bricks manufacturing can be done as per the work requirement such as Fly ash bricks, red bricks.

Uses and importance of Scaffolding in Construction

,
Civil Engineers, construction professionals and technicians are well aware about the term “Scaffolding”. It is a temporary support or frame structure provided for construction, maintenance and repair work on which person can work and take material load. It can be made of pipe, wood, metal, wire or stone which is used to provide comfortable working platform for performing the construction activities.

Scaffolding materials


Common Material used for Scaffolding
  • Scaffolding Tubes – Steel tube used for scaffolding as per Indian Standard code (IS) 4014 should be 40 mm nominal bore heavy class and grade Yst 22.
  • Steel Fittings – Steel fitting should be in accordance with the IS code 2750.
  • Timber – Timber used for scaffolding should be of good quality, not painted and treated properly without any defects.
Scaffolding consists of three basic components which are standard, ledger and transom. It is a temporary structure but for safety of human life it has become essential part of industry. The following things to be taken care of while using scaffolding;
  • Scaffolding material shall be easy to erect and dismantle, and every part / joints shall be visible.
  • Scaffolding shall not be placed close to high tension wire and moving equipments.
  • Necessary falling protection to be provided if working above 10 feet height. Also, provide safety net for any mishaps.
  • Scaffolding base shall be properly grounded on level surface and if necessary provide base plates.
  • Make sure locking arrangement, coupler and fitting are properly tied and secure. Guardrails should be provided at working platform if it is above 10 feet height.
  • Scaffolding pipes, joints, fittings should not be stored in contact with lime and cement. Moreover ensure proper cleaning of coupler, fitting and pipes regularly with the help of wire brush after work.
  • Locking arrangement and rails should be provided for wheel operated scaffolding.
  • Person should be well competent to work on the scaffolding and use proper PPE (Personal protective equipments ) during work such as head guard, shoes, safety belts, gloves and fall protections.
  • Scaffolding work should be thoroughly inspected by the competent authority / safety officer prior to start construction work.
Modern scaffolding system has completely been changed and expendable scaffolding are available to do complex job such as tower construction and mega structures. Although these kind of scaffolding is not popular in India because of higher cost and maintenance issue, but some of the special construction activities are require these types of scaffoldings for construction, repair and maintenance works.

Below is the list of Scaffolding manufacturers in India
1. Reliance Scaffolding, New delhi
2. Vijay Tools, Jalandhar, Punjab
3. Wheel Scaffolding India Ltd, Mohali, Punjab
4. Rishi Industries, Jalandhar, India

Estimating and costing in civil engineering

,
Estimation and costing is a technique of calculating the quantity and expenditure to be incurred at the time of Project.
Following requirement are necessary for preparing an estimate in civil engineering.

+ Plan, elevation and complete set of drawing.
+ Detail information about workmen/staff compensation
+ BSR – Basic schedule rates
In modern era project estimates are prepared based on many factors considering Government taxes, safety, security and contingencies.

Units of Measurements

The units of measurements are mainly sub-divided for their nature, shape and size for making payments to parties/contractors. The following principle unit of measurements generally consists;
  1. Running meter – It is taken into account when width specified – handrail, cornice, fencing, handrail,
  2. Numbers – Single units like doors, windows, truss if specified are expressed in numbers
  3. Square meter / Square feetsurface measurement, plastering, painting, partition wall ( when thickness specified)
  4. Cubic meter / Cubic feet – Earth work, concrete, masonry etc specified in cubic meters.

Estimation and costing

Techniques of Estimating and costing in civil engineering



    • Long and short wall technique
    • Center line technique
    • Combination of both techniques

    Long and short wall technique


    In this particular method the length of room is assumed to be long and perpendicular to long wall considered to be short wall. In this method, first mark the center line of both the walls and long wall calculation to be done first taking full length into account. For short wall each half breadth of long wall shall be deducted from both ends.

    Also Read : Basic Engineering of Hume pipe

    Center line technique


    It is suitable where cross section area is similar. Total center line length is multiplied by breadth and depth to determine the quantity. This method helps us to estimate quick and accurate  calculations.


    Combination of both techniques


    It is combination of the both above mentioned techniques. It is adopted when outer wall and the inner walls are having different thickness. In that case, a center line technique is applied to outer walls and long –short wall techniques for internal walls.
    This is one of the practical methods as most of the estimation and costing in civil engineering can be done using this technique.


    How to prepare an estimate


    Preliminary estimate is required for budgetary approval from higher authorities and many other aspects. Now days, estimation are also made to understand the Investment return of the project. The estimate is prepared from the practical knowledge and cost of the similar project works in nearby area. However up to 10% additional quantity should be taken in to account for contingencies. Following are the methods used for preparation of estimates,
    1. Plinth area
    2. Cubical content
    3. Unit base

    Plinth area


    The cost of construction is calculated by multiplying plinth area with plinth area rate. Generally plinth area rate are considered in respect of quality, labour & materials, height of building, type of roofs and number of storey.

    Cubical contents method


    Cubical contents method is used for high rise buildings. It is rather accurate and practical method to determine building cost. The cost of structure is calculated approximately as the volume of buildings multiplied by cubic rate (local).

    Unit Base method


    In this method the cost of building is calculated by multiplying the total number of units with unit rate of each separate item. In case of hotel ‘guest room’ is considered to be as one unit and dividing by total expenditure incurred of similar building in the nearby area.
    But you cannot get accurate rate due to fluctuation in material price with respect to current rate. Therefore better to compare material rate of latest completed projects.
