In civil engineering - road construction, what is meant by ''excavating the road box''?
927570
"Excavating the road box" is pretty much what it means.  It means cutting into the original ground to create a "box" in which the structural section will be placed (think of a long sandbox).  In fill areas, the soil from the cut section will be placed and compacted or imported borrow will be used if there is no material available on site.  In the fill sections, the depth of the fill would only need to enough to match the elevation of the cut section.\n\nThe structural section is then placed on top of the original ground in the "box".  The structural section usually consists of a subbase, a layer or two of base material and then the surface of the roadway which typically would be concrete or asphalt concrete.

When I used to teach 16-18 year-olds, we called it "Roads and stuff". It really means the things needed to operate smoothly: roads, ports, airports and railways. But it can also include banks, insurance companies, a stock exchange and all other aspects of getting money to finance operations or to reduce the risks. Take Bolivia - transport is extremely difficult and today, the president has sent troops into all foreign oil and gas fields to force them to sign new agreements. Investment there is a high risk strategy.

expansion joints- so when the road freezes or gets hot- expands or shrinks- the road can heave and move without cracking and breaking the road itself

Without more information; such as the size of the job and what type of trenching. I can only give you two words; TIME & MATERIALS

If you get an email saying I answered you need to come back and put a bit more detail about your question.\n\nOK with that said I'll take that you need a better description of the two job descriptions.\n\nElectrical power project construction is about the planning and execution of bringing together of a diverse range of specialists, trades and resources to undertake construction of a project to, most likely a construction tender. The most sensitive elements of the job is to plan the sequence of the construction so that a "phase" (specific men, processes and material of a set period of time) is introduced into the construction project to carry out their work in preparation for a subsequect phase and at the same time produces the least interference to any other work being carried out. \n\nFor example you might have three phases for installing an alternator in a power plant. The first phase might be making the cavity for the support of the alternator, then another phase might be the installation of reinforced steel and mounting points for the alternator and then a third phase could be pouring the concrete to make the support for the alternator. You have to have all three in timely sequence and at the same time not interfere with each other.\n\nDuring the construction process you must also be aware of and incorporating compliance with local,state,national and even international laws and regulations.\n\n__________________________________________________\n\nA maitanance electrical testing commisioning engineer is about an engineer who manages from a technical and administrative viewpont the overhaul of electrical equipment either to a tender or "in-house". His job is to know and organise all the phases(specific men, processes and material of a set period of time) of the overhaul project. During the overhaul he will also be responsible to bring in arbitary equipment(ie, crane etc.) and then purchase and make ready with spare parts as and when they are needed from an early phase of technical analysis of what is worn out or damaged. It might involve removal of parts to specialist companys for work he cannot organise himself.\n\nEach phase of the maintainance/overhaul are carried out in a timely manner and without interference to another phase until the work is completed or stopped under extradinary situations. While all work is carried out there is the reponsibility to meet or exceed compliance with local, state, federal and international laws and regulations.\n\nThe final part to the job description is that when any maintainance is completed there is the process of commisioning which is about operating the equipment at it's operating capacity and then full capacity while measuring all aspects of it's compliance to meet or exceed it's original specifications. This might be in it's natural setting or may need specialist equipment brought in to recreate the natural conditions. Commisioning is finished by unconditional or conditional acceptance by the owners of equipment and handing over by you the engineer.\n\nBoth specialist engineering jobs generally require a degree in the relevent engineering discipline and the extensive experience in the particular specialisation to know all the "ground level" problems and solutions each specialisation requires.

A civil engineer is the one who builds fixed physical structures, like buildings and houses, bridges, highways and roads, etc.\n\nThere a lot of good material in the links below.

first the design of canal is done and canal is built on this design . this design involves the cross-section and material detail and also the methodology of the canal. \nafter the design the canal location is marked with the help of surveying and then after that the excavation is done with respect to that survying and then the material is placed in the canal

First of all the question is wrong, In Civil Engineering practice quantities are take off as per drawings and specifications for the preperaton of Bill of Quantities(BoQ), after the preperation of BoQ, individual items are priced according to relevent market price, that is called estimation, for the budgetary amount of the project. I hope that I explain the matter.

The purpose for digging the hole was never clear to me. At first, I thought that there were using it as a means for Clive Owen to hid in before they built the false set of shelves. The fact that it was linked to the only sewage system also intrigued me. I guess it was just used to store waste, and nothing more, but it seemed rather strange that so much attention was paid to it.
