INTRODUCTION
I did my industrial training in Wakiso District , Busabala cell.
OBJECTIVES



To learn the spirit of togetherness and work with my fellow engineers during the
industrial training
To relate the theory I studied in school with the practical work .
To gain skills in plastering , building foundation and some parts in setting.
STRUCTURAL ORGANISATION
My industrial training was organized under Mr Kasule Joseph
1
1:1 EXCAVATION FOUNDATION FOR BOUNDARY WALL
We started by measuring the width of the foundation for the boundary wall whereby I used two
feet that is the width of the foundation for the boundary wall . We used pick axes , hoes ,
spades , wheel barrows , tape measure to measure and excavate.
2
1:2 CONSTRUCTION OF BOUNDARY WALL
We started filling big hard core and mortar in the foundation , after reaching the level of the
ground we started building relatively small hard core on building line to make work smart.
Then after we continued by building cellular blocks and we also included pillars in the boundary
wall which was of width 400mm and the pillars’ height was 2,800mm and from the pillar we
built a stretcher of blocks and between two pillars most especially at a distance of 1300mm
3
1:3 PLASTERING OF CEILING
We started by spreading the mortar to a ceiling made out of maxi pands and here we used the
ratio of 1:3 cement sand ratio respectively and after plasting process ended that is cutting of
mortar using straight edge and angle line to make it flat and accurate and we continued
finishing it using a wooden float and after we used steel float to spread the lime on the finished
ceiling.
4
1:4 SETTING AND EXCAVATION
Here we used a method of 3:4;5 for setting out and when we finished setting out we started
excavating the trench for foundation and pillars where the foundation for the pillar was in
square form that is 4ft by 4ft and the foundation for brick work was 2 ft width and 2 ft deep
And here are the tools we used during setting tape measure , claw hammer and materials are
Kamba, nails and pegs.
5
1:5 CONSTRUCTION OF FOUNDATION
We started by inserting column basements of reinforcements in the foundation and we
followed columns also made in reinforcements and here columns were built following plumb
bob measurements in order to get accurate straight column and then after we put there
concrete until the level of foundation for bricks.
After steel work , we continued to build foundation using bricks while building it using header
bond
Also here we used tools like claw hammer, tape measure, brick trowel and building line.
6
1:6 BACK FILL FOUNDATION
After construction we filled marram in the foundation and after we compact marram using
compactor
We filled foundation with marram and left with one course above the marram to receive hard
core . here we used spades, wheel barrows and soil compactor.
7
1:7 FILLING OF FOUNDATION WITH HARD CORE
We filled the foundation with hard core by following the building line at the top of brick work in
order to get the accurate and flat foundation . And after filling the foundation with hardcore
we put their little marram to prevent marram from injuring the water proof layer(polythene)
Here we used a club hammer , spades, wheel barrows.

PROBLEMS FACED DURING THE INDUSTRIAL TRAINING



Long distance from where I rent to site
Language barrier
Shortage of working materials
SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS ABOVE



9
I keep learning their languages like Lusoga
The problem of shortage of water was solved by pumping water directly from lake
Victoria
My Engineer gives me money for transport from home to working place.
CONCLUSION
I conclude by saying that my industrial training was ended very well and I have gained very
many skills . Although I have counted some problems but the industrial training was
successfully done whereby now I can relate the practical solution to the community as a way of
basifying my level
10
RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to improve on skills, the following recommendations should be done such as
-
11
The period of industrial training should be increased at least 3 months for better skills.
The institute should provide log books for their children who are in training
