Building Construction Machinery by John

Construction projects cover three essential construction jobs:
1. Building Construction
2. Industrial Construction
3. Heavy/Civil Construction.

Building constitutes not only the residential houses but also big corporate offices, commercial centers, multistory buildings etc. For the construction of buildings both heavy and light machineries are used.

Building construction machines are used in a wide variety of construction of building projects. They include machineries like bulldozers , cranes, backhoes, loaders etc, including small machines and tools like air hammers, air compressors, jack hammers, elevators, generators, chippers etc. The machineries thus used for the construction of buildings are classified into two main categories:

LIGHT MACHINERY

HEAVY MACHINERY

Bulldozer with Blade and Ripper Mechanical Operations by John

Mechanical Operations

Bulldozer with rippers and blades are very helpful in building big dams in different areas. It prepares the ground by clearing and leveling it. The main parts of the bulldozer are tractor, blade and rippers. Tractor is controlled by control joystick, monitor panel, and pedals. Through blade it shaves the uneven ground and carries the shaven soil along with it. While shaving, it levels and tighten the ground with its on the basis of the nature of the work the dozer blade is categorized as straight blade, universal blade, combination of straight and universal blade. Rippers on the other hand scratch the ground. Ripper can shave big rocks and hard grounds also which the blade is unable to do.

Bulldozer with Blade and Ripper

Bulldozer with Blade and Ripper

Bulldozer is a heavy machine having a track and is fitted with a dozer blade. The tracks provides them with excellent ground hold and mobility through very rough terrain. Bulldozer is easy to operate machine for clearing and grading land. Bulldozer, due to its size and power has undergone many modifications since its invention and is used mainly for accomplishing big infrastructural projects like dams, canals, roads, buildings, etc.

Crusher Loader Dumper by JOHN

It is a small diesel vehicle that is used to carry loads and materials to the construction sites.

Crusher loader dumper is either Wheel Mounted or Track Mounted.

Its working is very simple:
Materials can be emptied by raising the front end of the platform pneumatically so that the load is discharged by gravity.

If steel dumpers are used than heavy duty containers can be handled easily.

SheepFoot Roller by John

It is one of the most most commonly used soil compactor used by builders and contractors.

This type of roller is available in variety of size depending on nature of the soils.

It orks very well on cohesive soils. The sheepfoot compacts from the bottom of each lift to the top.

It is self propelled heavy machinery which run static and typically mowed.

At low moistyre contents the resulting compaction of such soils by sheepfoot roller is probably better than other types of machinery.

Concrete Mixer (DAM Construction) by John

The concrete mixer was invented by Gebhardt Jaeger

Concrete mixer as a machine that homogeneously combines cement, sand or gravel & water to form concrete.
A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the components

this is usually done in a wheelbarrow, several companies have recently begun to sell modified traps for this purpose.

Generally concretye mixer consists of a revolving drum to mix the components Some concrete mixers are also suppiled with hoopers which helps in mixin gwork.
This Hooper supplies the granular into a mixer whee they are mixed in a definite proportion.

There are others components of the concrete mixers are electric motors or diesel engine, hydraulic loaders and steel chassis.

Application Of Backhoe Loaders by John

Hey Whatz Up!


Don't wait more for the applications of Backhoe Loaders.

Since we all know that Backhoe Loaders are useful in different areas of construction because Backhoe Loaders are small in size and versatility.

The following are the number of areas (fields) where we can see the working (application) of Backhoe Loaders:

* DIGGING HOLES
* BREAKING ASPHALT
* CONSTRUCTION
* PAVING ROADS
* LIGHT DEMOLITION

The topic of our Next post is CATERPILLAR

Backhoe Loaders by John

Another required machinery for the construction of DAM is Backhoe Loaders.

A backhoe is also known as back actor. It is a piece of excavating equipment, consisting of a digging bucket on the end of a two part articulated arm.

Backhoe loader is an important engineering machinery which has replaceable bucket in front and the backhoe in the rear.

It is versatile small size machinery useful in many projects.

It can also be associated with other tools like grapples,hydraulic hammers and augers.

The attachment of different tools allows backhoe loaders to do different and multiple jobs thereby increasing its versatility.

In the upcoming post I'll discuss about the application of Backhoe Loaders.

The following are the pictures of BACKHOE LOADERS:

Crusher for DAM Construction Cont...

Now in this post I am telling you about the crusher for DAM Construction.

Since we know that for the construction of heavy infrastructure crushed rocks and stones are needed, so that "The Crusher reduces the size of big rocks & materials to the smallest size for the purpose of constructing DAMS, Buildings e.t.c ."

The size of the crusher depends/varies according to the size of the materials to be crushed.

In this post you are seeing different crushers.

Crusher (DAM Constrction) by John

Hi,

Now in upcoming posts I will describing you the 2nd machinery for the construction of DAM and that is: "CRUSHER".

1st of all we have to know about the word crusher.

Crushers are the devices or machines that are designed to decrease the size of the large objects by using force.

According to the construction point of view, "A crusher is a machine that is designed to reduce large rocks into smaller rocks or gravel."

Crawler Cranes Written by John

Crawler Cranes largest capacity ranges between 1000-1200 metric tonnes. It is rough terrain crane which can operate in an inhospitable geographical regions.

For the purpose of stability and mobility, the crane is mounted on the certain set of tracks.

Applications of Crawler Cranes are as follows:

• Demolation


• Slurry Wall Grab


• Building Construction


• Brigdge Construction


• Ports Construction


• Loading & unloading of Heavy Machineries

Mobile (Vehicle) Cranes Written by John

Those Engineering Machineries that are meant for lifting and lowering of heavy wquipmens, they are not permanent structures, they are either fixed on the ground or mounted on certain vehicles, which could be a rail, wheeled or even a cat truck.

They are used in the following places:

• Demolation


• Port Construction


• Building Construction


• Loading & Unloading of Heavy Materials


• Construction of Roads etc.

Types & Applications of Cranes Written by John

Crane for the construction of DAM Written by John

As I wrote in my quondam post regarding crane that

• Cranes ae designed with the help of Allah's Creatures whose name is crane that has long legs ad long neck


• Engineers loked at that crane bird and designes a CRANE machine that is used to hook up very heavy logistics such as Embroidry Machines and etc.

A crane is a lifting machine, equipped with sheaves, wire ropes, wire rope drum & chains.

It can be used both to lift and lower materials & to move them horizontally. In the construction industry it is used for the movement of materials.

Since we know that development depends on infrastructure & infrastructure on heavy machineries. Among all the heavy machineries cran obtain an important position.

In the upcoming posts I will describe other machineries that are required for the construction of DAM & the types of Crans.

Machineries for the Construction of DAM Written by John

Since we all know that "The Dams are the most importnat aspect of an infrasturctures. They are barrier that impounds water. They conserve and store water which is further engaged for industrial and agricultural purposes."

If we want to construct the dam we will need both the heavy and light machineries.
Machineries will be Cranes, Crusher, Backhoe Loaders, Caterpillar, Bulldozer and Sheepsfoot Roller.

D7E

The d7e has no engine belts because most systems are powered by electricity form the drive system. The belt less design reduces parasitic power drag on the engine and downtime for belt repairs and replacements.

Electric current is routed through the specially armored cables to a solid state power inverter. There advance electronics send AC current to the propulsion module to control the motors and provide DC current for the accessory system. For more information please visit http://www.cat.com/D7E
