Industrial Training Day 10

Day 10 of my industrial training in Kuala Rompin. Things have been going on well here. Mostly self-exploring and then getting answers to my questions from the people around here. Basically the day began with me observing works at the site. Went to see how the works on the sanitary system was going on. It's pretty interesting to see things that we don't normally see especially those that are done underground.

Ever wonder where the dirty water goes after in goes into the floor trap and before it enters the manhole? Well, this is where it goes to, it's called a gully trap.
Some other workings on the sanitary system:

Later that evening, I observed the installation of the pre-cast columns at the hospital block. Here at this project, the Intelligent Building System (IBS) is used. Basically what this means is that certain sections or parts of the building, in this case the columns, are pre-cast at a factory somewhere else, brought to the site and the installed. It's something like Lego where you actually put them in place. It's faster, easier and more cost effective than the conventional way of using the cast and mold method.
