OBJECTIVES

The objective of the case study is to explore and observe the different

activities and techniques carried out on site. To explore the various types of

building materials and machinery on site. To have experience of an

architectural site visit and the practices going out there as an architect which

will be very useful in future and help us a lot.

INTRODUCTION

A Site visit is an official visit or approval visit to a site to examine the site and to observe its environment & to determine its suitability for its enterprice.

A site visit for the construction of a hospital building was organised by Col. Krishna Pal Singh on 27 july 2015 . The location of site visit was at NIMS hospital and university near chandwaji Jaipur Rajasthan. A total of 38 students attended the site visit. Then base on the plan, all student gathered at university around 9:00am and we reached to the site after half an hour journey by bus.

After arrival to the site and meeting with the people in charge of guiding us, a short brief about the project was given by Col. Krishna Pal Singh to start the tour around the site.

After briefing the students were guided to the ground floor level and

awhile observing through , works such as flooring and some basic works were

going on. Next they guided us to the upper floors and during walking students

were able to see different types of materials, such as packets of Portland

cement or ducts before instillation for air conditioning purposes. After

reaching to the further floors , different things attracted students’ attention

such as beams columns, pipes, scaffoldings and many others, plus watching

workers working on concrete stair by bending reinforcement bars. After that

we had chance to experience moving down by using scaffolding and once we

reached the ground level workers were preparing timber formworks which was

quite interesting.

All this was a part of site visit of NIMS Jaipur Rajasthan for the

exposure of architecture students of Amity School of Architecture and

Planning..

BEAMS AND COLUMNS STRUCTURE

Beams and columns are frequently used for a building's structure as a replacement for steel. They are commonly used for precast building solution, when combined with precast walling and flooring. The structural precast columns are reinforced and can be used as a part of a total precast concrete structure. A variation of finishes can be applied according to the building type once the beams and columns are done. Beams are commonly used as ledges for other forms of precast flooring to rest on, but can also be used as a flooring option on their own. They are manufactured to suit each particular building design. Some of the beams included are Tee-Beams, L-Beams, Rectangular Beams, U-Beams and Beam shells.

Reinforced concrete frame of the building including columns, beams, and slabs.

SCAFFOLDNG

Scaffolding, also called scaffold or staging, is a temporary structure used to support a work crew and materials to aid in the construction, maintenanceand repair of buildings, bridges and all other man made structures. Scaffolding is also used in adapted forms for formwork and shoring, grandstand seating, concert stages, access/viewing towers, exhibition stands, ski ramps, half pipes and art projects.

SCAFFOLDING

Scaffolding which is a temprary platform for workers to access to a place of work at construction sites and also to support them as well as materials.

Concrete transfer machine

CONCRETE MIXER MACHINE

A concrete mixer (also commonly called a cement mixer) is a device that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the components. For smaller volume works portable concrete mixers are often used so that the concrete can be made at the construction site, giving the workers ample time to use the concrete before it hardens.

Concrete mixer machine to lift and lower materials and also to move them horizontally.

SHUTTERING

A temporary structure of wood in planks or strips used as a temporary structure to contain setting concrete, to support the sides of trenches, or similar.

ALUMINIUM PARTITION

Reinforced concrete beams intersects.

STAIRS

A stairway, staircase, stairwell, flight of stairs, or simply stairs is a construction designed to bridge a large vertical distance by dividing it into smaller vertical distances, called steps. Stairs may be straight, round, or may consist of two or more straight pieces connected at angles.

This is the construction details of a staircase

.

FOUNDATION

A foundation (or more commonly, foundations) is the element of an architectural structure which connects it to the ground, andtransfers load from the structure to the ground. Foundations are generally considered either shallow or deep.

STIRRUPS

A machine for armature bending and making stirrups. Angle defining is done over metal trunnions, at the same time three independent angles canbe defined on the left or right side. A special part with limit stops can be added for bending stirrups.

CONCLUSION

At the end of the visit and experiencing real working space and the environment of construction and Architecture . I realized that working at a construction site is much more different than studying in studios , classroom and books. This site visit gave me a chance to experience and learn what cannot be gained during lectures and in studios. Finally , this site visit helped for better understanding what I am going to face in future and also , giving me better understanding about construction to help me in my studying . In overall , it was a great fun and experience for me.
