Chapter 1: Introduction

Industry report is an important subject in civil engineering. From this report, the student may

apply their experience which gained from the actual site practice but if compared with the

theory which we have learnt from the book, it may looks slightly difference. Industry training

gives a chance to the student to face and solve the problems which may happened in the

actual site training. During the training period, student may gained and learnt some

experience and knowledge from the superior like project engineer and project manager.

However, the part time student is given a chance to have exempted to this subject upon to the

certain term and conditions apply. As a part time student, i have learnt 9 years experiences

and knowledge in the construction industry from different scope of works in developer, main

contractor and sub contractor. From these working experiences, I have learning different

communication and leadership skill.

In the report, I will sharing and discuss all my past and current scope of work, working

experiences and my current handling project .

I hope this report will bring me to your attention for the application to the industry training

exempted.

3.0 PROJECT INFORMATION

SITE LOCATION PLAN

Helipad, Genting 2 is a project of Genting Malaysia Berhad, which is located at

Genting Highland. It is a minimum load bearing area designed for touchdown of a

helicopter.The area calculated to be one half the overall length of the helicopter multiplied by

three times the width of the widest portion of the fuselage. This project is around 70 km away

from city central Kuala Lumpur. Its take about one hour driving from Kuala Lumpur to the

site Genting Highland. The purpose of the project is to prepare a landing place to a helicopter,

Activities 07 May 2012 to 15 May 2012

i. Defect Work and Touch up Work

I do the checking with the architect and client to the structure and architectural work. I will make sure all the defects work. The defects list will prepare to sub contractor, I will make sure the sub contractors to touch up the defect. The defects are giving time about 5 day to complete it and hand over to client.

6.0 Problems Happened During Planning & Construct of Project

Normally every project must have facing some problems either in stage planning or construct until finishing of the project. However any problems either serious or non serious, it should have way to overcome, especially when we doing early stage of planning,

However, i also facing some problems when i doing Helipad with guard house and operation office project during the planning and construct stage. The problems facing during the construct & planning the project are as below:

i. There are some discrepancies between specification of helipad consultant and architect. In the drawing of architectural, the fencing is too near to the helipad landing. It is 3 meters away from landing of the helipad. The helipad consultant claimed that it is not follow the safety specification of the helipad rules which is giving dangerous to the pilot during landing the helicopter. The helipad consultant advise that the fencing distant at least 6m away from the helipad itself. However the space is limited between the helipad and fencing, and this problem become an argument between architect, consultant of helipad and client. Due to the issue, it may effects the time frame of project completion since it should take time to have a decision.

ii. Late confirmation on architectural material by the client. Client took some time to confirm due to their internal problems, and it may effect the project completion time extended.

iii. There are some addition work requested by the architect and client. Although the client allowed us to claim the addition as variation order but the work must be completed in the same agreed time, and this may let us facing the risk of project cannot completed on time.

iv. The climate also a problem during the construction. Some of the unexpected problems also may delay the project time frame. As an example, during the raining day, we are unable to do the casting, especially for the helipad and the column of the building. The other works such as formwork and steel work also affected.

v. There are also some problems occur among the sub contractor due to the poor management and weak communication among the contractor with the work. For example the sub contractor did not storage their cement properly. The cement damage by the rain due to not covered properly. The workers of sub contractor also make complaint that they are being paid salary late.

vi. The sub contractor not agreed to work over time because it will make their cost budget increased and they might face the risk in making loss.

7.0 The ways to overcome the problems

i. The architect, the helipad consultant and the client organised a meeting among themselves. After the meeting, there is a deal that the architect must follow the specification of safety by the helipad consultant. The problem of distance areas, the client agreed to extend the fencing until the next landside. The client will ready more space for the fencing area and we need to cooperate and proceed.

ii. The client agreed to give EOT (extend of time) to the main contractor but not much. We have to rearrange the plan to meet the time frame.

iii. We must have extract work shift, even night shift to make sure we can complete the addition work which requested by client on time to avoid project completion time delayed. All the expenses incurred , such as the over time claim is agreed bear by the client

iv. Proper work arrangement is part of my work scope. I must managed properly so all work can process in smooth even in raining day.

v. I also play an important role between sub contractor and client to communicate and minimise their conflict and ensure the project process smoothly.
