so guys on this job i have to bring the edm every day i don't want to leave it here
it's like a middle of nowhere let's say and then so first thing opening the office jumping in
lights on everything on i got my laptop as well with me here so i'm going to set my desk here in a
minute i'm going to show you this and uh actually yesterday i was a little bit more busy setting
the drainage here and one of the houses and we're going to be pouring the foundation for it today
so i'm going to show you this that's how my office looks here i actually took it over just on monday
and to be honest we're just leaving but i show you how the civil engineer they looks at building
the houses here in uk so i'm going to show you here just have a look we got the drawings here
this is really nice this is really good practice to keep them drawings a1 and while building the
houses drawings are not changing that often so uh it's really good to have them in A1 to have a good
look at them whatever you like but obviously when it's frames and all that stuff that the drawing is
changing on a daily basis so keeping a1 drawings like this it's not good because they changing so
you might actually working with all the revisions so i wouldn't recommend that unless this is only
for the market but uh you have to be really careful to get the latest revision okay
so guys the office is set here coffee of course that's the first things for engineers uh morning
coffee that's the main thing so i got a computer set up here typically i start like uh 20 minutes
half an hour before everyone as i want to see it here just have a quick look before i gonna start
working outside you don't have to do it obviously but uh i i always want to have my coffee just
prepare myself to start working so all my stuff i'm going to take the idiom in a minute out and
i'm going to just do the last final checks and actually what i'm going to do as well
guys i'm going to use a tape measure so guys uh just to show you what we are doing here we
building the houses here like this uh you can see there the sales center if you want
to buy one of them just come here ask and we gonna build one of them for you soon so
the place the site is quite big here you can see there uh there is a blinding already came here
uh in two hours we're gonna have a construction concrete the structural concrete for the beams
uh i'm gonna show you maybe quickly here there are two pilot rigs uh they're doing the piling all the
time now as some of the houses are sitting on the pile foundation and if you're interested a little
bit then the difference between the traditional filing how it looks uh i'm at the end of the video
i'm gonna show you quickly the drawings see the big pile of crush here with the one machine here
so as i said the job is quite big the brick is working there on some houses we're doing
some foundation there and some of them already ready the guy is laying the grass there actually
so that's the houses from the closer look and uh i'm going to show you guys in a minute when i
had my edm set out before when i was setting up the foundations i set the level on one so guys
as you can see here foundation is already ready now brought to the ground floor slab
there are some of them ready there behind with the bricks laid and ready ready to go really and uh
that's the foundation we're going to be pouring today you can see there in the back
we put in the blinding for the next house and this here is ready it was checked by NHBC yesterday
so the guy was happy and then i'm i'm gonna show you here obviously what i'm gonna do
now i just double check the guys got the correct level i showed them yesterday but
uh that's our job guys just keep checking and the more we check in here on site the less mistakes
gonna be made uh on site really so i said before as i said what i said my vm i said the datum here
59 815 and i just take the laser off it so i just put stuff on it and if you you want to have a look
on my video when i'm showing the setting out uh i'm doing the level in there covering the leveling
so if you don't know how to do it you just i i recommend you to watch that video and then you're
going to be able to do it yourself today is friday so on one day you're going to be marking lines
for and lightning gonna be ready as well so they're gonna be marking for the beams as well and
here on the back our two fixtures working there they got the all beams ready for the next few
houses so once the blinding is set i will set the lines and they're going to drop the beams
this is a garage here so that's how it goes guys we just have the delivery of the lintels
and lintels is there going to be drainage pipes going through the
foundations there and as per detail there on the drawing uh we got the lintels to be installed
about the pipes obviously the guys here i don't know if you can see from here i just go
they doing the drainage here they actually installing the manhole
right now uh they got a box set there what i want to show you i just show you the one manhole that's
the next one i marked yesterday so i had to set my instrument here so i mark it here for the guys
so they're gonna know direction now they want to obviously clear all that stuff from here
and they're gonna start doing the next run you see this house is here brickies are working here
that's our machine there preparing next uh house there but that's a traditional foundation there so
i guys just uh removed the laser here the guys are guys setting the nails on that core deck for them
for the level so they're not going to be using the stuff all the time they just set the nails
and they're going with the concrete to the nails and that's their way i actually prefer
that's doing using the stuff all the time but i'm gonna come back here while they're pouring and do
some checks on the level myself the concrete already here so yeah guys that's it really
as you can see today's day actually for me for civil engineer is not that busy and i'm able to
do this video but obviously guys there's always something to do remember this i'm gonna start
preparing stuff for the next works for the next week do some double checks on my work
and there's always some other bills to be done house is finished here the concrete four
one lad is finishing off surface of the concrete and the other recording here now
so guys just uh next mission today i'm going to be marking another foundations here for the next
house here uh we put the blinding in the morning here behind me you can see but actually it's nice
weather the concrete is dry so i'm going to be able to do that today i'm just setting my
instrument now you can see here behind me and i'm going to be setting these foundations i'm
going to give guys the centers of the beams on the piles i'm going to show you in a minute i
got to draw in here the station is already set here and i'm going to actually press them up
here
uh oh there's plenty points on this map i'm gonna go closer closer so i got this block here i got
the lines i actually put the coordinates of the corners of the building that information i had he
said i had typed it in but my last video actually in my yesterday's video i'm gonna show you
how to put the new job how to put the drawing the dxf into the instrument into the controller
so that would be good for you as well and the previous video doing that like i must
know for engineers where you can see how i'm uh opening a new job and put the coordinates in
yeah so let's choose the line and we're gonna do the offset so as you can see guys i marked
the centers with the t-picks here and i'm gonna be doing the little bit of spray lines as well it's
going to be easier for the guys i'm going to show you how looking at the end it's not easy to record
it's going to be something like that with the lines so they're going to find center to
center when they're going to be lying the beam is going to be much better for them
so guys uh i marked this wherever i can really i mar you can see the concrete is still green
uh so i'm not going to be marking there inside i leave it for the engineer coming monday here
and uh yeah guys the works carry on here guys uh backfilling the beams here for the poor on
tuesday i believe today is friday i don't know if i said that before
so they packed it in now hopefully they're not gonna hit my edm
and uh yeah the nhpc gonna check it on monday and that's how it goes guys obviously the next pile is
going to be tested if you see that testing all the stuff you can watch my video about the pilecaps on
the other job so that's the life of the engineer really that's that's another day that's another
day in paradise as i said hey uh yeah so guys as i told you before it uh it's not a busy day today so
i'm gonna show you later the drawings maybe on the computer so you can see yourself
uh what we're going through obviously we just pour the foundation today nothing really special but uh
very interesting stuff coming just to let you know guys i was just on this side just one week
me and my project manager we decided to go elsewhere there was a few reasons for it obviously
it's quite far from where i live now and all other things as well and we're going to be going back to
calling the job the blog's A&C which you see before so i'm going to keep you updated
and i'm going to show you then how the day of the civil engineer looking like doing the frames and
all that stuff is going to be probably more interesting than this one so yeah guys if
you like it just leave the thumbs up leave some comments let me know uh what do you think about
this if you got any questions leave them here as well and i'm gonna replace as soon as possible
