Generally, concrete slabs are used for industrial constructions. They can be used below a layer of flooring material or are exposed; slabs on grade provide the foundation for all building foundations. Also generally super-flat industrial floors are installed with laser-guided screeds and power trowels. Quality material combined with good design and expert workmanship only yield …
Shotcrete is an excellent technology for stabilization and support of structures in a very quick time and for concrete application without using formwork. Shotcrete is also the interacting combination of human, equipment and materials. Shotcrete is a high-performance material which functions only as well as these “three components of success”. Man, personified in the work …
A column is a very important component in a structure. It is like the legs on which a structure stands. It is designed to resist axial and lateral forces and transfer them safely to the footings in the ground. Columns support floors in a structure. Slabs and beams transfer the stresses to the columns. So, it is important …
Bridge and Flyover can be differentiated depending upon their function, purpose of usage and the location where it is built. Bridge Bridges are built to connect two points separated by a naturally occurring region like valley, river, sea or any other water bodies, etc. They are usually lengthy depending upon the width of the valley …
A scaffold is a temporary frame usually together to provide a means of access to high-level working areas as well as providing a safe platform which to work. The system is raised gradually as the structure is raised level-by-level. The two basic forms of scaffolding, namely the putlog scaffold with its single row of uprights …
A gabion is a wire mesh cage or basket filled with stones. Gabions are useful in construction works, for example to protect earth embankments, to line channels, to manage or divert river or stream flow and to protect river banks or coastlines. A gabion is a cage, cylinder, or box filled with rocks, concrete, or sometimes …
