2.0 Introduction about the company
I have done my Industrial Training at SAW Engineering (Pvt) Ltd, Kiribathgoda. I trained in
two construction sites under this company. They are as follows;
1. Mabima Steel Factory Building
2. Mattakkuliya Ceylon Green Elevator (Prima) (PLC) Site- 30 KN/m2 compressive
strength Concrete Floor Slab
This company is categorized as a Grade C3 company by ICTAD. As well as they have E1
grade in Electrical construction works. This company has two divisions in Civil and
Electrical. I worked for civil division as a Trainee Quantity Surveyor. They have adopted a
good organization structure as below image.
Figure 1: Organizational Hierarchy
This company has many Quality objectives to achieve their future goals to become a leading
construction company in the island.

Figure 2: Quality Objectives
SAW Engineering Company has gained ISO 9001 standard and therefore documents should
be well maintained according to ISO Standards. They have adopted a color code for all files
in construction and other.
Figure 3: ISO Color Code

3.0 Mabima Steel Factory Building Site
I had all the plans, specifications in particular steel building at Mabima.
Figure 7: Plan of the Mabima Site
Figure 8: Column Arrangement Plan
According below these plans I have to be very certain whether construction at the site is
precise. As well as I measured all the columns, beams for Interim Payments.

Figure 9: Column Arrangement Plan
As a practice I marked finished column, Column Bases, Tie Beams in the end of each day
and measured them. Also I have calculated the volume, Area and Quantities of materials
used. As a Trainee Quantity Surveyor I use Measurement sheets, Bar Schedules for
Calculations.
Figure 10: Column Layout Plan

Udara Madusanka
I have prepared Bar Schedules for Tie Beams, Columns, Bases and etc. In the end of the
month I have prepared Sub Contractors payment Certificates with the help of Senior Quantity
Surveyors.

Udara Madusanka
Usually Quantity Surveyors do not Purchase materials. But in urgent and specific cases we
can purchase materials for construction.
1. Initially I prepare a Bar Schedule and Measurement sheets for gain the Quantities of
materials
2. Then I prepare Purchase Requisition Form if materials are not available in the ware
house after inquiring the warehouse officer. If Some Materials are available in the
warehouse I would write a MRF (Material Requisition Form).
3. Then I sent the PR forms to Project manger to get the approval.
4. After he approved the PR form and verify the Quantities are correct I sent them to
managing director to further approval.
5. Then after I sent them to Account Department for purchasing them. I receive a dully
duplicate after they signed it.
6. Account Department officers are keep in touch with me until receive the material to
the site.
7. When materials are received to the site I verify the Quality and Quantities are whether
as per the PR form. If Quality of the materials is low I would return them. If Quality
and Quantities are comply with the PR Form I fill GRN (Good Receiving Notes) and
attach them to the file.

Figure 14: Goods Receiving Note (GRN)
This proposed Steel Building is located on a little rock hilltop. One side of the site had a big
rock and which made difficult to make the ground to a level. At initial stage of the
construction we built the site office, Stores, Security hut and Labor huts. I have to be very
certain of site overhead with complied with the BOQ.

I worked at many stages in initial to the erection of steel stage. We can categorize these
stages are as follows:
1. Rock Drilling and Blasting
2. Excavation, Filling and compaction
3. Column Base
4. Column Shaft
5. Rubble works, Tie Beam and Formwork
6. Steel Beams, Columns and Trusses

3.1.1 Rock Drilling and Blasting
Due to the rocky area of the site it was very difficult to make the ground to a level. But on the
other hand it was very advantageous because we use blasted rock stones for Rubble Works
after Broke them into roughly 6”*9” rubbles. We subcontracted to blast the rock.
They use Gelanite Rods to blast the rock. To insert the Gelanite Rod into rock they drill the
rock 3ft or 6ft. Then they ignite the thread. But considering health and safety of the people
we have to do the blast works in a safer way. Therefore we put weights on the hole to
minimize the damage. We use Heavy Tires to as weights.
Figure 18: Drilling of the Rock
We instruct the drillers to wear gloves considering health and Safety of the people.

3.1.2 Excavation Filling and Compaction
This site has a little hill and it was very advantageous to have soil. Already has Rock and soil
decreases the cost of the project by huge amount.
Figure 22: Excavating the hill for gain soil
Using Wheel Loaders, Vaquers and etc we made the ground to a level. Also with help of
NBRO (National Building Organization) we assure the compaction is good by having a
Proctor Compaction Test. As well as I have to very careful about the cost of these tests.

3.1.3 Column Bases
In this stage we constructed Column Bases. We excavated Base pits initially as per the
column bases arrangement plans.
Figure 25: excavation for Base Pits
Using the Measure Tape and Plumb Mob we marked the centers of the column bases.
Column Bases are in center to center 6000mm distance.
Figure 26: Mark the centers of the Base Pits

In other area which does not have a rock base we put screed concrete.
Figure 27: Screed Concrete for Base
Then we put RC (Reinforced Concrete) bases. I have to ensure spaces of the Top net and
Bottom and Space between the Base formwork and Nets are right. I measure the concreted
area after put concrete into bases. As well as I prepared Bar Schedules and Measurement
Sheets in this scenario. For Columns and Bases we put Grade 25 Concrete. I have to be vey
certain and checked these mix ratios are well. Also we use 16 mm Steel Bars to the Top and
Bottom Net. I had to prepare a Bar schedule before cut and bending works begin. Also I have
to calculate the Binding wires Quantities used. Normally weight of 750 g Binding wires are
used for 1 ton of Steel Bars.
Figure 28: Top and Bottom Net of the Base

In the rocky area we anchored the Anchor rods into the rock. Using RE 500 and Cebex 100
chemicals we anchored these 16 mm rods. This drilled hole is 3ft in depth. We have to fill RE
500 chemical into the hole till one third of depth is full. Using a Hiliti gun we put RE 500
chemical into the drilled hole. Then we fill Cebex 100 and Cement mixed grout into the hole
two third of depth is full which make the Rock-Anchor Rod Bond stronger.

3.1.4 Column Shaft
In next stage we constructed RC column shafts. We have to kept Anchor plates top of the
column shaft because steel columns are to be fixed on this Anchor plate. Also Anchor Bolts
are fixed to the Anchor plate. And those Anchor Plates should be level therefore we check
whether is it horizontally level by using a sprit level. As well as I have to ensure the
alignments of columns are well by using center line threads we check whether these plates
are aligned.

We check anchor bolts are in level with other anchor bolts too. We use water level for that
check.
Figure 36: Level the Anchor Bolts by using a water level
We have to keep spaces between reinforcement and the formwork for that we use Cover
Blocks. We made Cover Blocks in Cement and Sand with 1:2 ratio.

3.1.5 Rubble Wall, Tie Beam and Formwork
In this stage we constructed Tie Beams top of the Rubble Wall. This report has provided
sketches of these Tie Beam Formworks. We use best quality Plywoods for these Formworks.
Then we can use them twice or thrice for formworks. We apply grease on the plywood board
to prevent the contact with wet concrete and hence we can use these boards for another
formwork. Also we checked whether these formworks are vertically level. By using Thread
Bars we made the formwork more solid. As well as we insert these Thread Bar into a PVC
pipe to prevent the contact between thread bar and wet concrete and hence we can use these
thread bars again. As the formwork supports I ordered Class 3 Timber supports. As per the
BSR, i have ordered these class 3 timber supports.

3.1.6 Steel Beams, Columns and Trusses
By using Steel Beams, column and trusses structure is made. For prevent the rust we apply
Red Primer on them after cleaning the surface of the steel by using a wire brush and then
applied Arundel colored Zinc Phosphate paint on the steel to protect the steel from rusting.
Steel Beams, Trusses and Columns producer has punched a number mark on these to identify
where to be these are fixed.

4.0 Ceylon Grain Elevator PLC (Prima) site
I have undertaken another project as well. Under this project we constructed a 200 mm thick
floor slab after demolishing the existing concrete floor slab at Ceylon Grain Elevator PLC
(Prima), Mattakkuliya. We had a huge time constraints to finish this project on time. We had
to do this project only in nights as per the request of the client and which had to be finished
within 5 weeks.
Initially we demolished the existed concrete floor slab by using a Breaker of the Excavator.
Figure 50: Demolishing the concrete
After demolishing of existed Concrete Floor Slab we cleared the Debris by capacity of 2
cubes truck.

After demolishing the existing floor slab we fill the ground with Quarry dust to strengthen the
soil to increase the bearing capacity. Then after we laid polythene to prevent water goes out
even before concrete get dried.
Figure 52: While constructing the floor slab
I had to closely monitor the project at the same time doing Quantity Surveying applications.
Which was a tough ask to me but i keenly achieved that particular task.

I closely monitored whether spaces for covering are right. Also I prepared a Bar Schedule
before doing Cut and Bending of diameter of 10 mm steel bars.
Figure 58: 10 mm steel bars for the Top and Bottom Net
This Floor Slab has to be in compressive strength of 30 KN/m2. Therefore we used Ready
Mix concrete to assure the strength. Using Vibrators (Pokers) we mix the concrete well to
prevent air traps.

For this particular project I prepared a Rate Breakdown with the help of Quantity Surveyor.
By using previous estimations, Price Lists, BSR I prepared this Rate Break down. After the
approval of Managing Director I sent this Quotation to the Ceylon Grain Elevator PLC
company before start the project. After considering the fair rates they hand over the project
for our company.

After concreted the floor I sent the Test cubes (which is done by the Ready Mix supplier) to
the NBRO to test whether compressive strength is there.

Figure 63: NBRO Test Cube Report
When Ready mix is received to the site I had to sign these delivery notes as the officer in
charge to make sure ready mix is received on time. Also when Ready mix concrete is supply
is going on I have to ensure the quantity is right before another truck is comes in. Otherwise I
would have to pay if concrete is wasted. Therefore i had to do quick rough calculations to
stop further supplying of ready mix concrete is not necessary.

After receiving the test report I got a huge blame of not sending the test cubes on time. So as
per the Test Report concrete is failed to fulfill the compressive strength of 30 KN/m2. But the
Managing director advises me to take every possible action to not do that again and I
determined not to.

After cured the concrete we start to pour asphalt to the groove. We use an Asphalt Cutter to
make the groove. We pour a mixture of Hot Asphalt and Sand with a ratio of 1:2.
