5th Episode : Formwork Design

Assalamua'laikum and Salam 1MALAYSIA to all readers ^_^

On the previous post all of you have knew how excited we are to begin the construction process. In this episode, we would like to share to all readers how the process begin. Once we receive the construction material, we start with formwork design process by using plywood and some woods...

the material arrives

we began by building a site for the formwork

making framework

nailing plywood to the frame

Once we have completed making site on the framework, we start to sketch a star shape on the plywood with the real scale...

sketching process

principal visits

formwork in the form of stars, which were completed was transferred and installed at the construction site with the help of Mr. Hasyim workers...

star-shaped formwork is almost ready

formwork that have been ready fitted in construction site

And that was our first construction activities that we do, we have gained so many knowledges during this activites. We would like to thank to Mr. Hasyim for giving us this golden opportunity and share the knowledge with us. We also would like to thank to our principal, Tuan Haji Khailani for visiting us and giving words of encouragement to us.

Thats all for this episode, we hope you guys enjoy reading this and don't forget to read the next episode....

4th Episode : Marking Construction Site

continued from the previous post...... ^_^

After the construction site cleaned on Thursday (3/6/2010) .... on the next Saturday (5/6/2010) , we were taught how to mark the construction sites in the right way before starting the construction process by En. Hashim ( the construction adviser ) ....

Measure the site

make sure it's straight

determine the pad footing area

marking the pad footing area

sites were marked

On the same day....  we were divided into 3 groups and were asked by En. Hashim to discuss how to produce a scale drawing of the star base in true and accurate size.... the drawing will guide the formwork design process of  the star base ..... we were given a day to think and plan a simple way, fast and accurately to produce the drawing.... the drawing will be perform on the next Monday (7/6/2010) ...

En. Hashim

Short briefing from En. Hashim

will be continued.... :)

2nd Episode : The Meeting

Assalamua'laikum and Salam 1 MALAYSIA ^^


On the previous post we have produced two models and bring it to the consultant, and what is their answer??

After the two models are completed, we have brought the models to the consultant to obtain their views on it. After a week ... Our designs have been modified to produce a better design by the consultant in the form of engineering drawings.....

After that, We have started work to produce new model according to specifications provided by the consultant.....


  * this model is made from cardboard only and actually this is the third model we have produce

the new model completed

After the third model is completed, we held a meeting involving Senior Assistant HEM teacher of SMK Segambut Jaya, teachers of ET, ET students form 5 2010, consultants from the steel structure, clock, construction, landscaping and materials to discuss more about this model and the project

 - the meting was held in school meting room... 

* During the meeting, we had the opportunity to meet the real experience with the expert.....

In that meeting... we got the views from all consultant and finally..... we have decided to produced a new model to coincide with the results of the meeting...... 

We have produced a new model..... and the new model is like this....

Assalamua'laikum and Salam 1 MALAYSIA to all readers ^^

As you all know, we had the idea to build a clock tower, So.... we have asked and discuss with our Engineering Technology teacher Miss Aliza to produce some model for this project. Then we start this task with...


- Making the first model....

    * this first model is made from a huge plastic board & cardboard

drawing on plastic board

connecting all plastic parts that have been cut

The 1st  model completed

After first model was completed.... We take the next step by producing the second model of the clock tower

- Making second model....

    *this second model is made from plastic pipe & cardboard....

cutting plastic pipe

making 2nd model from plastic pipe

connecting all pipe part

1st & 2nd model completed

After the two models are ready, we have brought the models to the consultant to obtain their views on it....







So, what is the result?? Is it the consultant agree with this two models?? find the answer on our next post...

Assalamua'laikum and Salam 1 MALAYSIA to all readers ^^

Today we want to share with you what is the truth behind the clock tower building. The idea to build this clock tower was inspired by 14 students of Engineering Technology in 2010 with the aim to make it as a landmark and became a symbol of pride to the school.  Consent of the principals has given us opportunists for the clock tower to realize.  The construction of this clock tower is to full fill the needs of Engineering Technology course work while in form 5 (SPM).

The construction of this clock tower has been running for 8 months from February 2010 until October 2010. Students have been working with experts from Pro DIY Enterprise Company, Minutes and Second Industry SDN BHD and many more in realizing the construction of this clock tower. Hence a lot of experiences has been gained during the construction process and can be applied on the students themselves.

  
Alhamdulillah, thanks to the support and contribution to all parties involved. The Islamic features landmark was built in accordance with the mission and vision of the school.
