Fittings come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are used to connect one or more pipes and/or change the direction of a straight pipe line. According to codes, any pipe change in a drainage system must have a radius of curvature large enough to avoid silt accumulation and provide suitable hydraulic flow characteristics. These […]
A concrete vibrator is used to ensure that the concrete becomes compact while putting concrete i.e. the concrete is placed without the inclusion of air bubbles which can affect its strength and it is necessary in most cases because the fluidity of concrete is limited by the amount of water used in the mixture. What

Steel works designs and produces steel items that comprise a work’s load-bearing structure according to the requirements of the standard for working with iron and steel load-bearing structures. Steelworkers assemble and disassemble rigging devices to move and place equipment and structural components, build scaffolding, position and fasten steel reinforcing in concrete forms, and erect and
FACTORS AFFECTING CONCRETE STRENGTH AND WORKABILITY The strength and workability of concrete are both critical factors that need to be considered in the making of concrete. The strength of concrete determines its ability to withstand various loads, while workability refers to the ease with which it can be placed, compacted, and finished. Both factors are
What is Soil Cement? Soil-cement is a construction material that is made by mixing soil, cement, and water together to create a hardened, compacted material suitable for use in various engineering and construction applications. It is commonly used for stabilizing and strengthening soil to create a durable and cost-effective base for roads, pavements, airstrips, and
A water storage tank is a container that keeps clean water from your reverse osmosis system or other filtration systems until you are ready to use it. Pressurized storage tanks release water on demand, whereas atmospheric tanks require the use of a booster pump to maintain pressure. Water storage tanks come in a wide range of sizes,
In this article, we will discuss the various types of pipe joints used in plumbing systems. Plumbing systems play a crucial role in our daily lives, providing us with access to clean water and the means to dispose of wastewater. To achieve this, different types of pipe joints are utilized to create secure and reliable connections in
What is welding electrode? Welding electrodes are wire lengths attached to your welding equipment in order to generate an electric arc. An arc is created when electricity passes over this wire, generating enough heat to melt and fuse metal for welding. Consider the following factors before choosing welding electrodes: The most common types are: 1. Consumable Electrodes
Chalking is the formation of a white, chalky powder on the exterior surface of the paint.This condition frequently occurs when the paint has weathered and the binder has been exposed to sunlight and moisture, causing the pigment-binder bond to weaken. When exposed to the outside air, almost all paints will develop some backing over time.
