Project Progress & Outcome

1. Project Briefing

The lecturer for the BBY21405 Building Construction Technology 1 course gave a briefing on the instruction sheet for the  Group Project. There are six groups, and we are required to combine groups 5 and 6. This is to  facilitate and further speed up the work of the miniature railway station. Every week, all groups that are group 1 until the group is required to send a progress report, known as the Minute of Meeting. The MoM's  function is to discuss and resolve any issues that arise.

2. Task Information

Before proceeding with the railway station process, it is necessary to appoint a group leader or director and assign roles to other members.

3. Location Project

Each group member is required to find a proposed location to build a railway station. Locations that are suitable and meet the requirements of Transport Oriented Development (TOD) will be selected. The chosen location is in Chemor, Perak.

4. Project Development Planning

For Chemor Railway Station, the Uniform Building By-Law (UBBL) involved is the State of Perak's Street, Drainage, and Building Act 1974. In addition, the Railway Act of 1991 must be complied with.

5. Project Tender

Search for related tender project advertisements found in Chemor.

6. Architectural and Engineering Design

The division of tasks is done to produce Architectural and Engineering Design. There are three types of division of duties namely Civil and Structural (C&S), Architectural and Mechanical and Electrical (M&E). Revit application version 2023 is used. All ideas and opinions are collected to produce a railway station design that meets the wishes of the public and is beautiful. Identify the type of modern technology that is involved and suitable for the location of the railway station.

7. Scheduling

Identify the work process involved in producing a miniature railway station project. Plan the amount of time required for each activity involved from start to finish. Microsoft Project is used to facilitate scheduling.

8. Materials Used

Before the miniature railway station is built, identify the materials and tools you want to use. List the type of item, the quantity, the estimated price of the item, and the location of the purchase of the item, whether it can be found at a hardware store or t online, namely Shopee.  After that, identify the estimated amount of materials and collect funds for each member to facilitate the purchase of goods and tools. A project financier will control the outgoing and incoming financial activities of the project for the purchase of goods. This is important to make it easier to produce a material cost schedule for the miniature railway station.

9. Site Preparation

A miniature railway station is started by preparing the base first. Prepare the materials and equipment you want to use. Cut 1" x 2" boards and wood using a machine to speed up the work process. The connection between the wood and the formwork board uses nails. Install the wheels on the bottom of the base. Then,  setting out the work is done by using nails and threads in the formwork to make the work easier.

10. Foundation

The type of foundation used is a raft foundation. The following is the procedure for foundation work.

i. Lay the reinforcement while using spacers to preserve the required spacing, then bind.
ii. Pour concrete to the required depth. Ratio of 3 buckets of cement to 6 buckets of sand.
iii. Reposition the reinforcement.
iv. Pour concrete to the required depth.
v. Remove the raft foundation formwork.

11. Precast Column

i. Design the column.
ii. Prepare the tools and materials and cut them to the planned size.
iii. a concrete column by placing a straw in the middle of the column to place the starter bar.
iv. Dismantle the formwork column.
v. Pull the string and tie the string to the stick. Then the wooden nails in the formwork frame. Column installation according to the height of the rope so that all the columns are parallel and at the same height on the miniature site.

12. Precast Beam

i. Determine the size of the precast beam and make a precast formwork using foam board. Also, place wire rolls before concreting.
ii. A concrete beam using the appropriate ratio
iii. After the beam is dry, dismantle the formwork and install the beam.

13. Precast Wall

i. Identify the location to place the wall and its size,
ii. Make formwork using boards and IMPRA boards. Install a wire roll to strengthen the wall.
iii. Concrete by using the appropriate ratio.
iv. Dismantle the formwork and install the wall on site.

14. Link Bridge and Lift Core

i. Prepare materials and equipment in advance.
ii. Identify the size and measurement.
iii. Form the formwork using foam board. Cut the foam board and glue it. Glue is used for connecting foam boards.
iv. Install wire roll and concrete using the appropriate ratio.
v. Dismantle the formwork and install it on the miniature site.

15. Windows

i. Prepare the appropriate materials and equipment, namely acrylic sheets and caulking guns.
ii. Make sure the location to place the window is correct and measure first on the miniature site.
iii. Cut the acrylic sheet using a hand saw and glue.

16. Steel Roofing Structure Station, Platform, and Link Bridge

i. Prepare materials and equipment first, namely hollow steel.
ii. Identify its location and size.
iii. Cut hollow steel using a handsaw.
iv. Install hollow steel. For the hollow steel on the platform, make sure it is installed parallel and at the same height with the help of rope and wood placed on the formwork frame.

17. Partition

i. Foam board is used to make partitions.
ii. Identify the size of each part and the desired design.
iii. Cut foam board and use glue to make connections.
iv. Install partitions.

18. Roof Station, Platform, and Link Bridge.

i. Prepare the relevant materials and equipment. Acrylic sheet is a roofing material.
ii. Determine the desired size and cut.
iii. Install roofing.

19. Rail

i. Prepare the appropriate materials and equipment.
ii. Identify its location and size.
iii. Installation of rails.

20. Stairs

i. Prepare the necessary materials and equipment.
ii. Determine the size and design of the stairs.
iii. Make formwork using foam board. Cuts and joints are done using glue.
iv. Concrete stairs.
v. Dismantle formwork and install at a miniature site.

21. Ramps and Handrails

i. Prepare materials and equipment.
ii. Identify its location and size.
iii. Installation work.

22. Finishing Work

Among the finishing works are:
• Window frames
• Painting the wall, roads, parking, and disabled parking.
• Install the grass plantings and trees.

23. Documentation or Reporting Group Project

The report group project is done separately. The content of the report is according to the instructions that have been given. The division of work between group members is done to facilitate and speed up the reporting work. A joint discussion is done if there are any problems that arise.

24. Slide Presentation Group Project

Slide presentation group project done together (8 group members). The division of work for each topic is done. The Canva application is an application that makes it easy for all members to access and edit slide presentations there. This makes it easier to identify slide progress and solve problems if they arise.
