💡TIPS FOR SAVING TIME & 💰MONEY DURING CONSTRUCTION 🕐 Part 1

Welcome back friends, 

We all know that house construction is the very much interesting and important topic of everyone's life, or we can also say like it is the very much important dream in every ones life.

 House construction is also a time consuming or huge investment task some time or if we don't have as much required knowledge about it,

so today we are going to discuss about some basic and important tips that we can use during house construction to save our valuable time and money.

So lets start,

👉Understand the present and future needs of your family.

 Generally house is the place where we spend most of the important and pretty time with our family. Means our family is the prime user of the house so before planning any house we must consider present or future needs of our family, means if a family having two Childs so as per the future requirements we need to design our house with two seprate rooms for each of them.

👉Ensure that the construction plan, working drawings and the estimated costs are in place before starting construction.

   "A good start and a good end is most important" so before starting any construction activity we must have proper plan of building in hand with all the required drawings and a faire estimated cost, because we generally observe that many house constructions stop suddenly or go slower than their scheduled time due to some any changes in drawing or facing financial problems. so before starting actual activity we need to sort out this all issues as much as possible.

👉Use local available materials.

         Transportation is being very much expensive now a days so we can save lots of money by using locally available materials. if we use locally available material we can order it at any time and within very much short duration it can arrive at our construction site hence we can reduce chances of stopping work due to material shortage.

👉Make sure there is maximum natural light and air in all rooms By providing proper ventilation and windows.

   Not all the time artificial light or brightness is good Sometimes natural light play very good role in respect with artificial light. Natural light kills some types of bacteria and prevents fungi production due to moisture. Here is very major role is of your engineer because he can decide where and how much windows are required. Windows and doors are also need to design by considering function of room.

🏠How to protect the building from chemical and environmental attack?🏗 Part 2

 Welcome back, friends.

                 As we have discussed in Part 1👉https://engineerpravinkadam.blogspot.com/2021/04/how-to-protect-building-from-chemical.html?m=1 of this blog about. How environment or Chemicals degrade the building,  Effects of chemical on building, How to protect the building from chemical attack? and we done General introduction about  the most. effective, economical and user friendly. Solution To protect the building from chemical attack that is AC- DUR- CT (S).

        We will discuss  more in details about this AC- DUR- CT CS) *Building chemicals* in this blog. 

So lets Go.

       It is Specially designed Coating having judicious blend of high quality. resin and inert fillers. It is recomended for protection of interior & exterior wooden, Concrete and metal surfaces from environmental and chemical attactk.

🤔Where AC-DUR-CT (S) is useable?

AC-DUR-CT (S) is universally acceptable for all types of Civil Engineering structures. It is ideally suitable for:👇👇👇

👉Underground concrete & bridge insulation coating.

👉Roof waterproofing & its maintenance.

👉Marine structure protection & water proofing. Car park, ramps & road marking.

👉Water purification & ETP plants.

👉Metal & wood protection.

( Labours applying solution coat to concrete)

👉Product is suitable for protection from environmental attacks, micro organisms, termites, pollution and heat.

👉It is useful for furnace area, structural protection, water insulation, ETP and other treatment plants, fuel spillage areas.

🤔How it is advantageous over another chemicals available in market?

The system has following advantages👇👇

👉Super sleep and shiny finish with special anti-fungal formula to provide protection from fungus.

👉Excellent colour and colour retention.

👉Excellent flow characteristics to form smooth and uniform finish.

👉Excellent durability.

( Expers checking quality of workmanship # Quality control #)

👉Crack bridging & deep penetrating property.

👉Excellent water proofing & chemical resistance.

👉Excellent adhesion & flexibility.

🤔What is the Procedure for Application of this epoxy coating?

            Any construction material is useless until and unless it is use by proper way or apply in work by systematic way.

a) Surface preparation:

        Surface should be sound and free from contaminations such as loose particles, oils, fats, lubricants and laitance.

b) Mixing & Application:

        In stated proportion resin and hardener should be mixed uniformly. Normally two coats are recommended. The dry film thickness (DFT) should be approximately 80-100 microns per coat.

🤔What are the properties of this AC-DUR-CT (S) ?

Coverage :  Approximately 4-5 m2/kg @ 80-150 micron (DFT)

             

         ( Checking of Dry film thickness )

Heat Resistance: 120°C for 30 minutes

Drying Time : 3-4 Hours @ 27°C

Pot Life: 4-5 hrs at 27°C

🤔Is this product (AC- DUR- CT (S)) approved by (BIS ) Indian standard ?

🏠How to protect the building from chemical and environmental attack?🏗

 Welcome back friends, 

          If one question is blinking in your mind that is "Even after great technologies and experts are available Special care is being taken during construction activity then "why the structures get deteriorate?"

        If this question is blinking in your mind then you are on the right way of thinking as an  engineer and quality construction seeker.

       Most of the structural elements in the  vorious type of Construction activity loose their Strength due to environmental & chemical and environmental factors. In Simple word "Chemical and environmental attacks". 

Now you will ask How'?

         We all know that due to Industrialization various industries produces  huge amount of waste in the Gas, liquid and Solid form. This waste directly and  indirectly present in our environment and here the actual Chemical & environmental attack Starts.

         So many process are involved in the process of chemical attack but I will explain here basic concept of chemical attack that is crystalization.

         Chemicals like sulfate present in environment enter into concrete from pores or voids present in the surface of concrete and this chemical entrapped into internal voids .

         As the time passes this entrapped chemical starts preparing Crystal and this Crystal then develop pressure internally on concrete. As a result we see the cracks on the concrete and this process not happen only in concrete but also in various construction materials by the means of various chemicals and by various ways.

        In advance construction practice construction professionals use various surface treatment like chemical coating on surface of building elements to avoid this future unseen Risk of cracking in the structure.

      As a effective solution of this Chemical and environmental attack. We will discuss here about  Solvent based Coal epoxy Coating system.

It is popularly known as AC-DUR-CT ('s) 

It is two Component Solvent based Coal tar epoxy system. 

For details about this company 👇👇

http://www.Applechemie.com

It is Specially designed Coating having judicious blend of high quality. resin and inert fillers. It is recomended for protection of interior & exterior wooden, Concrete and metal surfaces from environmental and chemical attactk.

A detailed discussion we will do in 2nd part of this blog in which you will get all the details of this epoxy coating system and AC-DUR-CT (S).
