PROJECT SUMMARY

The current mechanization of agriculture especially among rural folks in Nyang’oma region has

led to tremendous increase in harvests. This bumper harvest has given rise to a mare in the name

of lack of or demand for storage and warehousing facilities. The said farmers have also ventured

into various businesses that demands for large storage facilities for their products. the availability

of the said deficit has inspired me to initiate the project of and to build a warehouse.

This warehouse has been built using up to date technology and factoring in the affordability of

building. The final finished piece of work is a hybrid of ancient method of building spliced with

current methods. This has been immensely helped by the expertise that has been injected in the

workmanship to help come up with a final superb building that meets the demand created by the

employees.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 THE PROPOSED PROJECT PLAN

Following the inadequate warehouse to incorporate the farmers, I thought it was right to come up

with a warehouse to store or to help accommodate the emergence of many farmers and nearby

harbor port that facilitates the docking of various commodity.

In designing purpose, the soil analysis was done to assist me come up with a type of foundation

and materials to be used while constructing the storey building.

1.2 PROJECT LOCATION

The location of the proposed project is at Kopolo campus in Bondo sub-county.

1.3 GENERAL TOPOGRAHY

The land of the institution is a plain and some of the machine are used to level the piece of land.

Theodolite and precise level were used to attain the level ground.

1.4 MERITS OF THE PROJECT

Upon the construction of a warehouse, docking of ships, and rapidly growing farmers has been

enabled to safely and securely store the variety of commodities and farm produce. This eases

their way of marketing their production.

CHAPTER TWO

2.0 SOIL MECHANICS

The behavior of the soil had to be tested to know how the building will be according to the ratio

of the soil and its strength. Traits pit were dug to various spots to minimum depth of two feet.

The soil samples were taken to the laboratory for various soil test.

The following were carried out;

 California bearing ratio-This was done to determine the bearing of the soil.

 Atterberg limits-This was done to determine the behavior of soil various weather

condition.

 Grading -To determine the particles size of the existing soil materials.

 Compaction test-Was carried out to determine the strength of materials under

composition, plants and methods to the used.

2.1 STANDARD COMPACTION TEST

In this method a cylindrical mold 0.5m was filled with soil in three layers each being compacted

by 27 blows with a standard rammer weighing 2.5kgs.

The mold was trimmed and weighing to determine the bulk destiny of the soil and the moisture

content was also determined.

2.2 STRENGTH TEST

This was specifically done to determine the soil bearing capacity according to the ministry of

public works.

The strength test was done by conducting California Bearing Test (CBT) as shown below.

2.3 RECOMMENDATION OF SUITABILTY

The type of soil discovered to be marram with an average CRB values of 6.47 and it was a

confirmation test from the ministry of building and publics works design. Manual which

classifies the soil according to CRB values range shown in the table below.

SOIL CLASS CRB RANGE MEDTANS

S1 2-5 4.5

S2 5-10 8.5

S3 7-13 12

S4 10-18 14

S5 15-30 22.5

S6 >30

The CRB ranges from 5-10 and therefore its classified S2 soil according to the design manual.

The type of soil was found to be good bearing capacity and hence may be used directly as a sub-

grade material

2.4 CLASSIFICATION TEST

These were tests carried out on the soil samples to identify the soil by its physical characteristics.

They include particles size and the Atterberg limits.

4
2.5 PARTICLES SIZE DISTRIBUTION

It was done by sieve analysis to determine the constituents. Other grained soil or percentage of

the weight represented by the grains in different sieves was calculated and plotted on a chart

where the soil was described according to the sample of the curve and where it fitted on the

envelope chart.

2.6 ALTENBERGE LIMIT

This was done to ascertain the precise classification of the soil, it included determination of

shrinkage limit, liquid limit which facilities the determination of plasticity index and it was done

by the use of grade method.

CHAPTER THREE

3.0 INTRODUCTION

3.1 SURVEYING

Theodolite precise level and a tape measure were used to conduct the surveying process.

The machines and tools were used to confirm that the land was truly plain and also to determine

the boundaries of the project.

5
3.2 DETAILED SURVEYING

During the detailed survey drainage of 25m intervals were first marked along the edge of

existing road of established building by use of 40m long measuring and raging rods for marking

temporary marks during the surveying and permanent markings were done by use of pegs driven

into the ground.

3.3 LOCATION OF PROPERTY BOUNDARIES

Measuring tape used in the practice to measure the distance from the centerline to the existing

features on the site.

3.4 LEVELLING

The reasons for levelling are to ensure the difference in level between the two points or projects.

It was done to determine the relative height of chain edges established on the mean sea level.

Transit theodolite was mounted on tropical stand level staff. The reading was recorded and the

reduced heights of the sheet. The reduced levels-were computed from the data gotten during the

detailed survey and were in the drawing of cross-section.

During the rainy periods, the work was not going on.

5.9.1 ANTICIPATED WORKS ON SITE

They include the following:

i. Construction of drainage works.

ii. Installation of ceilings.

iii. Installation of air conditioners.

iv. Construction of external work such as fencing and gate.

26
5.9.2 CONSTRUCTION OF DRAINAGE WORKS

The drainage system and sewers are going to be constructed to avoid over-flooding and also to

remove excess water from the residential areas. The following methods of drainage systems will

be used during the project.

i. Surface drainage; This is where shallow drainage will be dug in parallel platform which

will act as a canal for run-off water. These ditches will lead the water into the main drain

to avoid water pooling.

ii. Slope drainage system; This will be constructed to allow water to flow downward from

the structure with the aid of pipes to move water down.

iii. Downspout and gutter system; Downspout and gutters will be constructed from the roof

where by water will be collected into the tanks for future use.

5.9.3 INSTALLATION OF CEILLINGS

The ceilings will be installed in the house whereby the dimension of the room will be drawn to

scale on a graph paper. The lighting location will be identified and the height at which the

suspended ceiling to be installed will also be determined. The wall angles and suspension will

also be attached

5.9.4 ISTALLATION OF PAVEMENTS.

The installation of pavements will be done, here the removal of top soil will be done using

machine, the debris will be removed, the topography of the soil will also be done before the sub-

base materials will be used to provide suitable surface to support the new pavement. Cabros will

then be installed.

27
5.9.6 CONSTRUCTION OF EXTERNAL WORKS

External works such as fencing of the building will be done to enhance security within the

premise. Here, the type of the fence which shall be used is dead fence in conjunction with live

fence on top. Therefore, the perimeter wall to be constructed and the live fence to be installed.

The security guard will also be employed

5.9.8 WORK PROGRESS

TEMPORARY WORKS

 FORM WORK

28
Timber was used in erecting of formwork. Timber was used because it was readily available and

cheap as compared to steel formwork.

 BACKFILLING

After constructing foundation walling, backfilling followed in two phases; One using rough

stone hardcore and the marram blinding was done using the marram.

 WALLING OF THE SUB-STRUCTURE WORK

The walling was done in English bond and all building cords required to build the wall was put

in place.

STEEL FIXING

29
The steel fixing was done under supervision of the structural engineer. The steel fixing work was

approved by national construction authority upon completion.

30
5.9.9 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED DURING THE PROJECT

a) POOR INFRASTRUCTURE

The road from Bondo-Kopolo is a seasonal road that is affected with rains. It was difficult to

transport bulky materials such as ballast, sand and blocks.

b) ADVERSE WEATHER CONDTIONS

The climate is very hot, this makes mixing of concrete and motor difficult since it requires a lot

of water which is a problem in the area. It also quickens the setting of concrete and mortar hence

difficulty bin workability.

c) IMPROPER RECORD KEEPING

The storekeeper failed to make proper document showing the materials received on site and t5he

materials used in daily basis, this leads to wastage of materials.

5.9.9.1 RECOMMENDATION OF THE PROJECT

It is advisable to the county government of Siaya to ensure that feeder roads are repaired
