 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Students’ Industrial Work-experience Scheme (SIWES) is one of the Industrial Training
Fund (ITF) programme which was introduced in 1974 due to the inability of engineering
and technology students in Nigeria universities and polytechnics to meet the practical
aspects of their training. That is, the needs to enable students match their theoretical school
knowledge with the practical aspect of their training in industry. The Training lasts for six
months. The author stressed further that it was in realization of this that the ITF when it was
established, set out to study the extent to which the theoretical knowledge that students in
engineering technology and other allied fields in Nigerian institutions offering technology-
based courses related to the kind of work experience expected of them by employers.

The result of the ITF survey showed a great disparity between students’ knowledge and
their ability to apply it in relevant jobs. The author further stressed that the internship
programme, SIWES, can therefore be seen as that which is intended to give Nigerian
students studying occupationally age 16 related courses experience that would supplement
their theoretical learning as a well of equipping the students with the needed skills to
function in the world of work.This need to combine theoretical knowledge with practical
skills in order to produce results in the form of goods and services or to be productive is the
essence and rationale for industrial training, and a basic requirement for the award of
B.Eng.

1.2 BRIEF OF HISTORY OF SIWES

In recognition of the shortcomings and weakness in the formation of SET graduates,
particularly with respect to acquisition of relevant production skills (RPSs), the Industrial
Training Fund (which was itself established in 1971 by decree 47) initiated the Students’
Industrial Work- experience Scheme (SIWES) in 1973. The scheme was designed to
expose students to the industrial environment and enable them develop occupational
competencies so that they can readily contribute their quota to national economic and
technological development after graduation.

1
Consequently, SIWES is a planned and structured programme based on stated and specific
career objectives which are geared toward developing the occupational competencies of
participants.

In spite of the challenges faced by SIWES in the four decades of its existence, the Scheme
has not only raised consciousness and increased awareness about the need for training of
SET students, but has also helped in the formation of skilled and competent indigenous
manpower which has been manning and managing the technological resources and
industrial sectors of the economy.

Participation in SIWES has become a necessary condition for the award of degrees and
diploma to SET students graduating from higher institutions in Nigeria.
The main thrust of ITF programmes and services is to stimulate human performance,
improve productivity, and induce value-added production in industry and commerce.
Through its SIWES and Vocational and Apprentice Training Programmes , the Fund also
builds capacity for graduates.

1.2.1 VISION STATEMENT

To establish construction groups to carry out construction works in the state by direct labor,
and accelerate provision of infrastructure especially public building roads and support
infrastructure through direct labor.
1.2.2 MISSION STATEMENT
 To set and regulate standards and offer direct training intervention in
industrial and commercial skills training and development, using a corps
of highly competent professional staff, modern techniques and
technology.

1.3 AIM OF SIWES

 The effort is aimed at helping/training students in the Nigerian tertiary

institutions the practical aspect of their field of study by exposing students to
machines and equipment, professional work methods and ways of

1
 safeguarding the work areas and workers in industries and other
organizations.

1.4 OBJECTIVES OF SIWES

 It provides an avenue for students in institutions of higher learning to
acquire industrial skills and experience during their course of study.
 It exposes Students to work methods and techniques in handling equipment
and machinery that may not be available in their institutions.

 It makes the transition from school to the world of work easier and enhance
students’ contact for later job placements and a chance to evaluate
companies for which they might wish to work.

1.5 IMPORTANCE OF SIWES TO CIVIL ENGINEERING

 It exposes students to more practical work methods and techniques in civil

engineering.
 It provides students in civil engineering with an opportunity to apply their
theoretical knowledge to real life situations
 It enables students in civil engineering to gain experience in
handling equipment and machineries.
 provides environment whereby students in civil engineering can develop their
creativity and interpersonal skills through software design techniques.
 It is one of the requirements for the award of Bachelors of Science Degree
(B.Sc.) in Civil Engineering.

SERVICES RENDERED
3.1: RECONSTRUCTION OF RAMP APPROACH (EARTH MOVING AND
DRAINAGE CONSTRUCTION)
3.1.1: POSTING 1
EARTH MOVING AND ROAD RECONSTRUCTION
Earth moving or earthworks is a major application of heavy equipment. Earth
moving involves digging, grading, and moving earth, excavating, landscaping, moving
large amounts of earth, and laying of the foundation are examples of earth moving tasks.
In this project, the entire road was reconstructed which involved excavation of the
previous road to 1.2m deep from the new road level,filling(according to first,second,third
and top of fill which ends at 50cm away from the new road level) with sand, further filling
with sand for soil stabilization with cement at thickness of 20cm, filling of stone base with
thickness of 20cm and finally laying of asphalt of 10cm thickness.
At every stage of filling,density tests were carried out to test the soil if it was suitable and
proper compaction and grading was done at the filling of each layer to ensure a good job
was carried out.
All these were carried out accordingly dividing the entire road in chainages to ease the
reconstruction as the road was to serve as the approach to a ramp that was constructed
ahead.
As the reconstruction was done,the construction of drainage and culvert was carried out as
well(this would be later explained in this chapter).
The equipments used are stated below and their uses:

 Excavator.

5
  Fig 3.1

 Excavators are heavy construction equipment consisting a boom,

dipper (or stick), bucket and cab on a rotating

platform known as the "house”. The house sits atop an

undercarriage with tracks or wheels. They are a natural
progression from the steam shovels and often mistake called
power shovels. All movement and functions of a hydraulic
excavator are accomplished through the use of hydraulic fluid,
with hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors. It is used in the
process of excavation.

 Payloader:

Fig 3.2

A loader is a heavy equipment machine used in construction to move or load materials

such as soil, rock, sand, demolition debris, etc. into or onto another type of machinery (such
as a dump truck, conveyor belt, feed- hopper, or railroad car). A loader is a type of tractor,
usually wheeled, sometimes on tracks, that has a front-mounted wide bucket connected to
the end of two booms (arms) to scoop up loose material from the ground, such as dirt, sand

6
or gravel, and move it from one place to another without pushing the material across the
ground.

 Bulldozer:

Fig3.3A bulldozer or dozer (also called a crawler) is a large, motorized machine equipped
with a metal blade to the front for pushing material: soil, sand, snow, rubble, or rock during
construction work. It travels most commonly on continuous tracks, though specialized
models riding on large off-road tires are also produced. Its most popular accessory is a
ripper, a large hook-like device mounted singly or in multiples in the rear to loosen dense
materials.

 Grader

7
Fig 3.4
A grader, also commonly referred to as a road grader, motor grader, or simply a blade, is a
form of heavy equipment with a long blade used to create a flat surface during grading.
Although the earliest models were towed behind horses, and later tractors, most modern
graders are self-propelled and thus technically "motor graders".

 Compactor

Fig3.5:

A compactor is a machine or mechanism used to reduce the size of material such as waste
material or bio mass
through compaction. A trash compactor is often used by a home or business to reduce the
volume of trash it produces. A baler-wrapper compactor is often used for making
compact and wrapped bales in order to improve logistics.

Other types of compactors used in the process of the task are: ship foot compactor,
pneumatic roller compactor, hand roller.
Other machines used are:

 Water tanker: used for sprinkling water before compaction.

 Stabilization machine: used for mixing cement with sand during soil stabilization.

 Asphalt paver; used in spreading the asphalt.

Each stage of the road reconstruction is explained below:

8
  Excavation: it is done with the excavator. Digging is done to 70-120 cm from the
new road level. This is determined suitable the material is after being tested.

 Bed filling: this involves the first, second and third fill(depending on the depth of
excavation from the new road level). Each filling is done with thickness of 20cm. All
this process serves as the bed of the road. At each stage of filling,wetting

 Soil cement: here cement was used to treat the soil at a percentage of 5 in ratio of the
soil to be stabilized measured in tons. Cement is opened on the soil and is thoroughly
mixed by the stabilization machine, wet and compacted. Soil cement is 20cm thick
and 30cm away from the new road level.

 Stonebase or sub-base: the stonebase consists of granite and stone dust. It is of 20cm
thickness and 10cm away from the new road level. It is graded properly, wet and
compacted. Priming is done on it.

 Priming: here bitumen was used on the stonebase in preparation of the asphalt
laying.

 Asphalt: it done in 2 layers of 5cm each with the asphalt paver machine.

3.1.2: POSTING 2
IRON BENDING WORKSHOP/POSTING 2

The process of making of reinforcement mesh or cage is known as reinforcement

fabrication.
The proper reinforcement fabrication is very important, and it must be accurate. The
fabrication of reinforcement involves the following steps.

 Proper studying the BBS and its detailing

 Straightening the bars

 Cutting the bar sizes

9
  Bending the bars according to the desired shape

 Transporting the bars into the site

 Coating and treating the reinforcement

 Splicing the bars

 Binding the bars on making cage like structure.

There are different sizes of reinforcement bars:

•Y-8
•Y-10
•Y-12
•Y-16
•Y-20
•Y-22
•Y-25
•Y-32

STEEL BENDING MACHINE
The sheet bending machine is mainly selected for the purpose of creating a bend inside the
metal sheets. The metal pieces are initially fixed on the clamping device which is known to
hold them during the complete operating process.

QUALITY CONTROL LAB(QCL):
This is an integral portion of Civil & Geotechnical Engineering, and it primarily involves
inspecting or testing industrial processes to maintain quality.

EQUIPMENTS USED IN THE BATCHING PLANT:

 Sieve Analysis Machine or Shaker

 Concrete cube compression machine 2000kN

 Slump cone: 300mm bottom, 200 diameters for concrete workability (the
flow of the concrete).

 Concrete cube mould: dimensions of 150×150×150mm

 Concrete scoop

 Tamping rod: Tamping rods are dimensionally accurate rods used to tamp
fresh concrete into concrete cylinder molds and grout sample boxes to
eliminate voids and excess air the tamping rods on-site have dimensions of
16×600mm
TYPES OF SLUMP TESTS

 Zero Slump: Zero slump is the indication of very low water-cement ratio, which
results in dry mixes. These types of concrete are generally used for road
construction.

 Collapse Slump: This is an indication that the water- cement ratio is too high, i.e.,
concrete mix is too wet, or it is a high workability mix, for which a slump test is not
appropriate.

 Shear Slump: The shear slump indicates that the result is incomplete, and concrete
is to be retested.

 True Slump: True slump is the only slump that can be measured in the test. The
measurement is taken between the top of the cine and the top of the concrete after

12
the cone has been removed.

Fig 3.9 TYPES OF SLUMP TESTS

Concrete segregation: This is the separation of cement, fine aggregate (sand), coarse
aggregate (granite).
In making pile foundation we increase the water-cement ration because it cannot be
vibrated. Divide water by cement, water- cement ratio must not be less than 0.4 it should
be in the range of 0.4-0.46. to avoid voids, vibrate the concrete very well (columns,
beams).
TEST OF CONCRETE STRENGTH

 Slump Test: To test the workability of concrete used on- site.

13
Fig 3.10 A SLUMP CONE

Fig 3.11 COMPRESSION TEST MACHINE (To test the strength of the concrete)

14
CURING
Curing is for 28 days 29.7N/m2 (99%), curing 3 cubes for 7
days 19.5N/m2 (65%).
Chemicals are used for on-site curing; curing is done to achieve maximum strength of
concrete.
Master Cure 106
Master Cast 141: This is a bonding agent used in construction sites to place fresh concrete
on existing concrete, concrete must be ready before you place it together with the concrete
already in place chemical-water-cement ratio (1:1:1).

Fig 3.12 A CURING TANK

PURPOSE OF ADDITIVES

 Water reducer

 Cement reducer

 Adjust setting time

 Help your concrete for free flow

3.1.4: POSTING 4
BATCHING PLANT:
A Batching plant, also known as a batch plant or concrete plant or a concrete
batching plant, is equipment that combines various ingredients to form concrete. Some of
these inputs include water, air, admixtures, sand, aggregate (rocks, gravel, etc.), fly ash,
silica fume, slag, and cement. A concrete plant can have a variety of parts and accessories,
including mixers (either tilt drum or horizontal, or in some cases both), cement batchers,
aggregate batchers, conveyors, radial stackers, aggregate bins, cement bins, heaters,
chillers, cement silos, batch plant controls, and dust collectors. The heart of the concrete
batching plant is the mixer, and there are many types of mixers, such as tilt drum, pan,
planetary, single shaft and twin shaft. The twin shaft mixer can ensure an even mixture of
concrete using high horsepower motors, while the tilt mixer offers a comparatively large
batch of concrete mix. In North America, the predominant central mixer type is a tilt
drum style, while in Europe and other parts of the world, a twin shaft mixer is more
prevalent. A pan or planetary mixer is more common at a precast plant
The aggregate batcher, also named aggregate bins, is used for storage and to batch the sand,
gravel and crushed stone of the concrete plant. There are also many types of aggregate
batchers, but most of them measure aggregate by weighing.
Some use a weighing hopper, some use a weighing belt.
The cement silos are indispensable devices in the production of concrete. They mainly store
bulk cement, fly ash, mineral powder and others. There are three types of cement silos:
bolted cement silos, horizontal cement silos and integrated cement silos. Integrated cement
silos are made in factories and
can be used directly. Bolted cement silos are bolted for easy installation and removal.
Horizontal cement silos have lower requirements on foundations and can be transported by
truck or flatbed without disassembly. Cement silo.

Fig. 3.13 A Batching Plant and Cement Silos

TYPES OF BATCHING PLANT

There are many classification standards for concrete plants. Concrete plants can be divided
into dry mix plant and wet mixing plants, depending on whether a central mixer is used.
They can be also divided into stationary concrete plants and mobile concrete plants,
depending on whether they can be moved.

 DRY MIX CONCRETE PLANT

A dry mix concrete plant, also known as a transit mix plant, weighs sand, gravel and
cement in weigh batchers via digital

17
or manual scales. All the ingredients are then discharged into a chute, which discharges into
a truck. Meanwhile, water is either being weighed or volumetrically metered and
discharged through the same charging chute into the mixer truck. These ingredients are then
mixed for a minimum of 70 to 100 revolutions during transportation to the jobsite.

 WET MIX CONCRETE PLANT

A wet mix concrete plant combines some or all of the above ingredients (including water)
at a central location into a concrete mixer - that is, the concrete is mixed at a single
point, and then simply agitated on the way to the jobsite to prevent setting (using agitators
or ready-mix trucks) or hauled to the jobsite in an open-bodied dump truck. Dry mix plants
differ from wet mix plants in that wet mix plants contain a central mixer, which can offer a
more consistent mixture in a shorter time (generally 5 minutes or less.
Mobile Concrete Plant
The mobile batch plant, also known as a portable concrete plant, is a very productive,
reliable and cost-effective piece of equipment to produce batches of concrete. It allows the
user to batch concrete at almost any location, then move to another location and batch
concrete.

Fig. 3.14 Mobile Concrete Plant

18
STATIONARY CONCRETE PLANT
The stationary concrete plant is designed for produce high- quality concrete. It has the
advantages of large output, high efficiency, high stability and high specification. Stationary
concrete batching plants are reliable and flexible, easy to maintain and have a low failure
rate.

APPLICATION
Typical concrete plants are used for ready mix, civil infrastructure, and precast
applications.
For Ready Mix
A ready-mix concrete plant is generally located inside the city, transporting ready-mixed
concrete for projects through concrete truck mixers. Ready mix concrete plants have
higher requirements for durability, reliability, safety and environmental protection of the
concrete plant's system than other types of plant.

FOR PRECAST APPLICATIONS

Precast concrete, also named PC component, is a concrete product that is processed in a
standardized process in the factory. Compared with cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete
can be produced, poured and cured in batches

EXAMPLE OF PRECASTS INCLUDE

 Manholes
 Slabs
 Beams
 Staircases etc

DRAINAGE CONSTRUCTION

The drainage construction was done alongside the road reconstruction. It started
with setting out alignment given by the surveyor then excavation which is
followed by blinding then the base, reinforcement and formwork and casting.
The processes involved are each explained below:

 Setting out and alignment: this is done by with the help of the surveyor and
surveying instrument to give proper alignment for drainage. Excavation is done
alongside this.

 Blinding: a blinding of 5cm is cast. This is to give a separation between the

drainage and the earth.

 Base: the base is 20cm thick but the reinforcement has began and casting is
done.

 Reinforcement/formwork: this is carried out based on the dimensions of the

 C

drainage constructed. And formwork is done on it to prepare for casting.

 Casting: concrete is prepared in the batching plant and brought to site for
casting.

CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
5.1: CHALLENGES OF SIWES
Some of the challenges commonly faced by students during SIWES include the
following;

1. Inadequate I.T spaces: Companies accepting students for training are

reducing every year and time is wasted in the search for companies to
accepts students.

2. Lack of financial and moral support: Majority of the students are not being
paid. Some spend a lot on transportation and feeding and at the end of the
month, they aren’t given anything as token.

3. Lack of proper orientation: Most students aren’t properly informed about

what the program is all about and they end up securing places that don’t
correlate with their course of study.

5.2: RECOMMENDATION
Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) has proven to be very impactful
in the lives of every participating student and to that end continuity in this program
would advance the level of exposure and technical knowledge of the students.

5.3:CONCLUSION
In conclusion, this SIWES program has improved my understanding and broadened
both my theoretical and practical knowledge on another field and the use of equipment
outside my scope of study. It has also given me experience in the industrial processes
undergone in the construction which relates to the various engineering fields.
