"You Dream it, We build it"

Your best medicines are exercise and the right foods,  Weight loss is not about eating less; it is about eating the right foods. The timing is equally important. Eat four or five smaller meals daily instead of three big meals. Do not skip meals. It is important to balance the calorie intake all through the day so that blood glucose levels do not fluctuate too much. Including soup and salads before meals ensures you do not eat too much of the meal. Stop eating before you feel full. It takes the brain some time to realise when the stomach gets full and in the meantime, we have already overeaten. So the golden rule is to stop eating before you feel full. Eat only to satiate hunger. Remind yourself that eating is not the solution to the stress in your life or to boredom. For these, find better solutions, such as yoga and meditation.  Consume more of fresh vegetables and fruits; avoid packaged and junk foods as far as possible.  Take smaller portions; you can save the rest

In the recent times there has been a great concern over the weight loss among the youngsters.   Where are we heading to ??/ Why is the society being surrounded by questions about the diet of the kids and the youth!!?/. Is it because of the various disorders prevailing due to imbalanced diet or a fantasy to keep up the physique ?? very confusing indeed.!!There are hundred's of websites citing about the various remedials , foods to be considered , the necessary inputs into the diet and the so called excersise quotient! Does it really work out?/ I doubt . How many of us whole heartdly follow the daily fitness workouts?? The ratio would be really less. Sad but this is the truth . True that people are held with the busy schedules but we aren't concentrating on the prior issue for what we are earning for ! "HEALTH".There are many natural ways to make yourself fit but some where are the other , even they have side effects. But there is one such resource always availa

Formwork is an important part in the construction. Especially in the construction of columns, slabs, beams and core walls in the building project. It is more critical when the project is a hi-rise building, if it’s getting higher and higher as it progresses. And it would perhaps to be dealt with utmost care. Now, here is the excerpt of the certain requirement from structural specification about formwork. So, you may be able to easily find out and read this article when you want to come back into the specification about formwork including “stripping.” Formwork shall be of steel or timber providing it is constructed so as to be rigid during casting of the concrete and sufficiently water tight to prevent loss of the liquid from the concrete and it shall be adequately propped and braced in their correct position and shall be sufficiently strong to resist distortion by the pressure of the wet concrete constructional loads, wind and other forces. The deflection shall not exceed 3mm

When we start the concreting of blinding, footing, slabs, roads and any other concrete elements. We may sometimes or commonly encounter cracks on concrete. But the question is “Why it is happening?” You might ask also “Who is to blame?” Some people would think that the supplier of concrete would probably be the source of concrete crack, but according to Mr. Crhistopher Stanley, who were our resource speaker in the seminar with the topic about “Concrete Cracking.” He said that “No concrete supplier is producing concrete that will create cracks on finished concrete.” By the way, Mr. Stanley is the Technical Director of Unibeton Readymix in UAE. We’ll, in this article I will write various classifications of concrete cracks that we usually found on the site. We will discuss one by one, the  causes  and prevention . Here are most common concrete cracks can be found on your project sites. 1. Plastic Shrinkage Crack This one we usually found on the poured concrete of different kin

When you will enter to a quality assurance and quality control world and it’s your first time to start work on a project site. You might ask this “What is the first thing that I would check?” There are several things that you will check, but the material upon arrival on site is one of the important that you should be checking along the way. You could ask the Inspection and Test Plan for a certain work in which the material that you would like to check belongs to. So you can identify what would be your next  action . Once you obtained the material approval report or MAR for the certain material. You are now ready to check the material arrived on site. Now! This might be your question “What if the material arrived is not yet approved, what will I do?” Here is what you will do and in case that the material is being reviewed by consultant and it’s eventually be approved later then you may still submit the material inspection with comment as “awaiting approval.” Here are the steps t

I want to write about this topic because I want my fellow quality engineers to really understand what are our responsibilities. I have seen some instances that concrete is being delivered on site, but no quality engineers or quality inspector was checking or maybe it is neglected. Concrete arrived on site is one of the first priority to check with a quality engineer. Checking of concrete delivered on site is one of the responsibilities of a quality engineer. A consultant on a project will always seek for a quality engineer to manage the receipts of concrete upon arrival on site, so it may create an issue, noting that the concrete arrived at concrete checkpoint has not been checked by quality engineer. Here is one of the biggest problems “If” you will not receive the concrete and get a copy of concrete delivery ticket. You will lose on logging your concrete actual quantity delivered on site which is to be collected by the quantity surveyors department from you. Because this depart

The steel structure project is the easiest work to do. You know why? It will just start with anchor bolt installation, checking the distances of the anchor bolts and the critical distance. Ensuring the locations and level by providing survey report. Erecting the steel members start from column bracing, rafters, purlins, beam, joist etc. A tremendously easy and can be erected quickly. Steel structure work is really different from concrete structure, concrete works are more complex, especially when the project is a high-rise concrete structure. Therefore, the foundation will be huge enough to carry all the load transferred from superstructure then follows the complexity of the construction of foundation towards superstructure. In concrete structure, steel reinforcement holds the concrete elements that make it stand and firm, but in steel structure, it’s either the rivets or bolts that held it stand. So, I am going to write the most common method of checking the tightness of connect
