Semester 5 - QSB3115 - Measurement 5

In measurement 5 basically covered works of Mechanical and Engineering and Civil Engineering works. The topics covered by Mechanical and Engineering is Electrical Works are Cold Water System, Sanitary Installation, Air Conditioning System, Fire Protection Works. For Civil Engineering works are Earthworks, Environmental Protection and Enhancement, Precast Concrete Works, Reinforced Earth Wall, Railway Tracks.

In Mechanical engineering works I had learnt how to measure all the piping works and gained knowledge of all the mechanical and engineering knowledge. Mechanical engineering works are hard because some of the item we couldn't see it because it is hidden on top of the ceiling. Besides that, mechanical engineering works also required us have a 3D dimension view of imagination. However, after this semester I would able to carry out the measurement of mechanical engineering works and able to identifies how the piping works and other mechanical works are.

For Civil Engineering works, I have learnt a lot of new things besides just measurement. Among them are of course the principles of MYCESMM and even the M&E and Civil Engineering Works were all new to us. Previously in the semesters before, we only concentrated on building works. It is interesting to know these little parts of a construction project. These two big topics also gave me a whole new understanding with a bigger picture, of the whole meaning of a construction project.
