Construction Boom In India Will Create High Demands For Civil Engineers In Near Future

Posted on May 4, 2019 by blogger

Civil Engineering is considered to be one of the core branches today. Also we see new and new structures coming up every day so civil engineers will definitely not be without job. It has better prospects in India and in abroad as well. It has very bright future after specialization in the academic field. As believed, Civil engineering involves not only field but also involves office and desk works like estimation, analysis, designing, tendering etc. It is a field which has very broad scope.

People think that compared to other branches of engineering, Civil Engineering is the least lucrative with no jobs available for those who graduate. On the other hand one gets multiple job offers from software companies if you are doing other branches of engineering and your starting salary will be mind boggling by Indian standards. On the other hand a Civil Engineering undergraduate starts with a salary as low as Rs. 3000-4000/month, so that brings up a question, who wants to take a job as a Civil Engineer when the difference in starting salary is over Rs. 25,000 or more at times.

According to the policies of Central Government for the development of infrastructure, demand for civil engineers is going to rise in next five years. Civil engineers get good salary with job security. Presently, the demand for Civil engineering course is much higher because of the boom in this sector. Civil engineers are people who mainly deal with new ideas to develop infrastructure. Now days, the presence of private players in the industry has also been increasing the quality of work. Since the quality and the manpower facilities are sufficient, they are in a position to fulfill the national and international demand. Many new and modern projects relating to this sector have also begun.

A job of a Civil engineer requires lot of experience in specific fields to meet the changing demands in this sector. Adequate efforts are from the part of the government is done for the speedy execution of the developmental projects in India. As there are adequate manpower in India, it is possible to achieve this objective. A significant increase in the number of projects in this sector has come up partly because of the high quality work involved in it. As the industry is developing, it is creating in employment opportunities for skilled engineers. One cannot imagine a situation, with out the civil engineering sector in a country.

The Civil engineering discipline has been evolving and many new concepts are being introduced nowadays. Various facilities namely the roadways, bridges, buildings etc are the significant aspects in infrastructure. Every nation is being engaged in expanding its developmental aspects so as to survive with the competition with other nations. Its a fact that a major chunk of investment is done in this area in the country which will change the very face of the nation as a whole. This is mainly made possible with the help of civil engineers. There is an increase in pay for a Civil Engineer with about 5 years experience is phenomenal. This is a trend that is observed not only in India but also in Middle East and the US.

Three Types Of Construction Building, Heavycivil, And Industrial

Posted on April 27, 2019 by blogger

One of the largest industries in the United States is construction. In construction projects, a variety of people working several different jobs come together to build and assemble infrastructures. The tasks in construction range from designing and building to governing and maintaining the scope of the project while the building or other infrastructure is being assembled.

With up to hundreds of workers working simultaneously to complete a building, construction projects are no small undertaking. And there are three basic types of building projects that the construction industry: building construction, heavy or civil construction, and industrial construction. The following paragraphs describe these types of building projects, explaining the what they are and giving common examples.

Building Construction

Building construction is one of the most popular types of construction projects and the one that most people are familiar with one. These projects are usually smaller than other types of building projects, and popular definition of building construction is the process of adding structure to real property. For instance, building a house on a piece of land already owned by the person who will own the house is an example of a building construction project.

But building construction can include other projects than just constructing entire buildings. In fact, most building construction projects are small renovations. Renovating and updating bathrooms are common renovations, as are room additions. Other small building construction projects include updating a room or an entire house to be safer, more energy efficient, or more high-tech.

Because building construction projects are usually smaller in scope, property owners frequently do not hire a contractor. Instead, the owner of the property organizes the hiring and payment of a construction company or crew. However, without a contractor, the owner of the property is also responsible for handling any legal or financial problems that may occur if he or she is unsatisfied with the end result or if the cost overruns the original budget and scope of the project.

The owner must also be responsible for carefully overseeing the development of the project in order to ensure that it is carried out correctly and that the end result is what he or she wanted. Because of all of these responsibilities, many property owners prefer to hire a contractor to oversee the building construction projects, even if they are small.

Heavy/Civil Construction

Heavy or civil construction projects are another type of construction that, essentially, is the adding of infrastructure to an already built environment. Instead of privately owned properties, these types of construction projects usually deal with public properties. The owners of these projects are usually local or national government agencies and are usually done to benefit the public. The most common type of heavy construction is highway and road construction. This can include building entirely new roads, expanding existing highways, or repairing road surfaces.

Heavy and civil construction projects are much larger in scope than building construction projects, and therefore, it often takes longer to prepare for them. For instance, owners and construction managers are usually required to notify utility companies in the area before beginning construction, and they have to be careful to take all government restrictions, mandates, and health and safety regulations into consideration when planning heavy construction projects.

Although most heavy and civil construction is paid for by government agencies, they can also be governed by private corporations. While government-owned construction projects are usually not-for profit, heavy construction projects owned by private corporations are usually done so that the corporation can make money and not to serve the general public. Examples of this type of heavy and civil construction include the building of resorts, golf courses, power companies, dams, railroads, mines, and other earthwork projects.

Industrial Construction

The smallest sector of the construction industry and what people are usually most unfamiliar with is industrial construction. Industrial construction projects include for-profit projects that are owned by very large corporations. These projects are some of the largest in scope and include such industries as medicine, petroleum, chemical, manufacturing, power generation, and so on. Industrial construction projects also have to adhere very closely to government laws and regulations and have to undergo an extensive inspection process, which means a great deal goes into the planning and preparation stages of these projects.

Of course, this is only a brief overview of the different types of construction projects. The construction industry is large, and it’s easy to see why. The three main types of construction–building, heavy and civil, and industrial–account for almost every structure that we see and use today. In fact, the construction industry employs millions of people.

And because construction is one of the largest industries, it is becoming easier and easier to find quality construction companies across the country. So whether you’re looking for Los Altos construction, Los Gatos construction, or construction in other parts of the state, finding a good construction company to help make your building dreams a reality shouldn’t be too difficult.

Construction is a unique industry that sometimes incorporates hundreds or thousands of workers in one project. Many construction projects incorporate several different teams of specialists and tasks, and all these people come together to build infrastructures that range from small renovations to highways and factories.

Battles Fought On The Great Wall Of China – Battle Of Shanghai Pass, Battle Of Rehe, Construction By Ming Dynasty

Posted on April 24, 2019 by blogger

The Great Wall of China was initially built as separated walls by different states before the unification of China to protect their land from invasions. After the Qin Dynasty proved to be the most powerful and took over most of the lands, Emperor Qin Shi Huang connected several walls and built the first Great Wall of China between 220206 BC, and, thus, called 10,000 li Wall. The wall was established to prevent any invasion attempts and savage attacks by the northern nomadic tribes and dynasties. However, Genghis Khan, a known leader who united northern nomadic tribes, was able to penetrate the wall and able to conquer northern China, which spread all over the country later on. After the Mongol Empire, China was once again back to the leadership of their countrymen; this time, the Ming Dynasty emerged to be the most powerful. During the Ming Dynasty, the concept of the Great Wall was revived once again. The Ming Dynasty revived, reconstruct, and further elongated the Great Wall of China under its 10 year project. They adopted the strategies used by Mongols to penetrate the walls. They further extended it to the desert where the nomadic tribes used to came from. Unlike the earlier walls, Ming used bricks and stones instead of rammed earth to strengthen it, and devoted on reconstruction and repair of the walls as Mongols continued their attempts. This explains why others claim that the construction of the Great Wall of China was finished in 1644 under the Ming Dynasty.

723 beacon towers and 7,062 lookout towers of today complete Great Wall of China can explain that the wall was purposely built for protection reasons. As told, they were initially built as barriers between states during the Warring Period, and later between the land of Qin Dynasty and the northern dynasties. They also tactically served, although proven not successful in driving away invaders, to slow down invading attempts to penetrate into the Qins land. However, unlike other defense mechanisms of any country today, the Great Wall of China costs no amount upon building. Men that physically contributed to building the structure received no amount in hand. They were forced to labor, establishing the Great Wall during the Qin Dynasty. They were pushed to work as slaves under the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Rumors even said that thousands of workers died in fatigue and starvation, and that their bodies were buried in the wall itself. During the early times, the Great Wall of China justified its purpose of stopping war between dynasties, but not until the Mongol invaders penetrated the wall and invade most of China. To the right is a picture of a Beacon tower.

Another famous penetration in the wall was the known first Battle of Shanhai Pass in Shanhaiguan in 1644. This is a decisive battle of Qing over the Ming Dynasty, which signaled the end of the Ming Dynasty and crowned Qing to reign over China, making Qing Dynasty the last dynasty in the history of China. Additionally, conflicts again arose in the Great Wall of China between Chinese and Japanese soldiers.

During the 20th century, several bloody battles had been witnessed by the Great Wall of China; one of those was the second Battle of the Shanhai Pass. In 1901 at Shanhaiguan, the extreme eastern end of the Great Wall of China, the Chinese 626th regiment of the Northeastern Army met the Japanese 8th division using 4 armored trains and 10 tanks supported by warships of the Imperial Japanese Navys IJN 2nd Fleet with a dozen warships offshore. This battle cost the resignation of Chinese regimental commander Shi Shian, in January 3 of 1933, and lives of half of his men and around 500 Japanese soldiers, on the other hand.
