Fish Pond Project: Part 2 (End)

Waterproofing is not that easy...and not that hard too..quite simple oso...wat's my point?? I oso duno... The thingy is like water really..it's water based... but once they're dried up, it'll form some sort of 'plastic' layer..to apply them, use our ordinary paint brush...


After they're dried up..baru can apply cement over them... I used base coat cement, you can buy a sack from most hardware store for RM36... The cool thing about this cement is that the manufacturer already mix it with sand... So it's already in a good ratio between cement and sand... It's perfect for smooth wall finish and of coz kerja tampal-menampal...


The water ratio is quite hard to control.. coz if the mix is has too much water..then you can't use it so plaster the side walls...but for the base it's good..easier to spread.. For the walls..it's better to make the mix a little dry...


After main plaster... we pray for rain to come to fill in the pond..of coz..don't ask for rain immediately... ask for it to fall the day after or so... Rendam for 1 month..of coz release the water every few days..the idea is to cuci the pond by removing chemical contents released by the cement..adding water plants can help to neutralize the water too...so 1 month should do it...


So..macam itulah ini project... Will post pics of fishes in the pond later later la.. ahaks..

Life as a Brooke: Part 1

Industrial training placement is part of compulsory requirements to graduate with a degree from any local university in Malaysia. For Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), undergraduates must undergo at least 10 weeks of industrial training as set by Board of Engineering Malaysia (BEM). Through industrial training, undergraduates are expected to be exposed with work ethics, responsibilities, technical practices and other real life engineering exposures like problem identifying and solving.


Mine was at Brooke Dockyard and Engineering Works Corporation (BDEWC), Sejingkat, under Quality Assurance and Control (QAQC) Department. Their (BDEWC) main industry is to fabricate offshore modules like production/drilling platform, offshore living quarters and platform jacket. Other than that, BDEWC also build and repair vessels, ferries and steel arch bridges as part of their aim to be a major provider for petroleum, marine and manufacturing industries. It is the responsibility of the QAQC Department that all fabrication works are done according to specifications.
