Construction Technology III

 

This module is another continuation of a module from the previous semester, hence providing us with a familiar scope and understanding.

 

Just like the previous module, this module introduces to us the system, structures and construction processes of different types of buildings for the same reason, because our career requires us to know the ins & outs of a building to measure, whether it uses different construction processes or whether it uses different materials while also studying about its uses, importance, advantages, disadvantages & of course when and why it is used.

 

In this semester, our main focus was the implementation of Industrialised Building System (IBS), also known as prefabricated construction, learning about its uses, the different types, the installation and so on. Other areas include Retaining walls, Dewatering system, Prestressing & Green Buildings.

 

This module was again taught by the experienced Mr. Chiew Seng Khoon and consists of a mid-term test, an Individual assignment, a group assignment and a final exam.
