PUBLICATION
The world today needs engineers with a
vision to face the challenges not only of
today but of tomorrow. I say this because
currently we are facing challenges never
seen before in the past. And building
knowledge based off the past will not
necessary be the solution for the tasks
ahead. Innovation and inspiring excellence
from solving today’s challenges secures a
brighter future for those that come after.
In the years gone by society has faced
great challenges. These hard times need
visionary individuals, those brave enough
to make change happen.
Civil engineers like Telford, Brunel and
Renée paved the way with their vision and
courage and their belief that they could
make people’s lives better. That they could
build a better future. Now more than ever
before we need those individuals with a
vision and courage to bring about change
but not just for the challenges of today
but also for the challenges of tomorrow.
We need the few to once again inspire the
many.
The say about the year 2050 the
population would have more than nine
billion people will live on the planet! The
more I think about that the more I think
about the problems this will bring and I
7. 7www.mugoyagroup.com create the difference
Ask myself what the future will hold for
future generations. The world faces
challenges such as in fracture,
sustainability and climate change; poverty
and a dwindling energy supply everything
that is vital in supporting the world’s
growing population. What does this mean
for future generations!? I often wonder
what I can do to ensure the quality of the
lives for my children and their children!?
Civil engineers have one of the world’s
most important Jobs; they help build our
quality of life. With their creativity and
technical skills. Civil engineers plan and
construct essentials to modern life from
the delivery of the water that we drink to
the schools we learn in and the roads we
travel on; to the canals and ports that
allow global trade and airports that allow
global travel.
I am a problem solver ready to meet the
challenges of a growing population in
fracture, sustainability, pollution,
urbanisation and our increasing energy
demands. Civil engineers have been at the
heart of global progression on innovative
thinking today more than ever before they
are needed to build on the wondrous
achievements of the past and help solve
the challenges of the future. What will my
legacy be that will help improve the
quality of lives for the many that precede
me!? What will I be remembered for!?
These two questions are the fuel that
drives my career path forwards and gives
me a reason to wake up every day. Pericles
once said that what you leave behind is
not what is engraved in stone monuments,
but what is woven into the lives of others.
ABOUT ME
As a graduate from the University of
Bradford studying BEng Civil & Structural
Engineering, I have a particular interest in
applying for a graduate or trainee scheme
advertised on your website. The skills and
abilities, job knowledge, language
proficiency, work experience and
education matches the job pre-requisites
in different sectors.
I am an individual that is unmatched with

CEMENTITIOUS
MATERIALS
Technological advances in the production
of cement, such as admixtures, plant
control system sand alternative fuels, have
given the cement producer the flexibility
to use a wider range of mineral
components, such as GGBS, fly ash and
limestone, and produce cement with
better technically acceptable properties.
However a specification was needed to
standardise the performance of cement
allowing for these innovations and
technological advances.
The national cement specification is a
performance-based specification where
the early and 28-day strength of the
cement are defined. This has resulted in a
significantly more consistent product than
previous specifications enforced.
COMPOSITION
The range of proportions of each
constituent material is specified for each
cement type e.g.
CEM II A-M (S) consists of clinker with 6 to
20%ground granulated blast furnace slag
(GGBS). Included in the range of permitted
mineral components may be additional
constituents of up to 5%. Figure 1 shows
percentages of different mineral
components permitted in each cement
type.
CONCRETE
The quality of ready mix concrete is controlled by
compliance with Eurocodes and British standards.
BATCHING TOLERANCE
• Cementitious materials are
batched cumulatively by mass to
within 2%
• Aggregate is batched to within 3%
• Admixtures are batched to within
2% or 50 ml
• Water is batched to within 2%
Water is tested if the quality is in doubt.
Where wash-out water is used in concrete
to minimise disposal problems and thus
reduce impact on the environment,
density is closely monitored to re-strict
solids content.
PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY
• Solid materials are batched by
mass, liquids by mass or volume
• Appropriate adjustments are made
for moisture in aggregate
• Control of water is done by
measurement and maintenance of
slump within specified tolerances
• Concrete is delivered with
sufficient workability for placement
and compaction.

THE ADVANTAGES OF OUR READY-MIX
CONCRETE:
• The Ready-mix Concrete supplier
has the resources and technical
expertise to provide a wide range
of concrete mixes.
• The Ready-mix Concrete supplier is
able to meet changes to the
construction programmes.
• Space is made available on site.
• Ready-mix Concrete can be
supplied to several positions on
the concrete site at the same time.
• High rate of delivery is possible.
• The Ready-mix producer takes
responsibility for quality control of
concrete production.
• A wider range and combination of
binders, aggregates and
admixtures.
• Varying mix requirements in the
fresh and hardened states.
• Wide variety of specifications
• Environmental restraints.
CHRYSO offers a wide range of admixtures for
We offers a wide range of admixtures for
ready-mix concrete producers depending
on the plastic or hardened properties of
the desired concrete. Admixtures typically
range from plasticisers, super-plasticisers,
accelerators and retarders. These
admixtures are supplied in bulk tankers or
flow bins to the ready mix producers and
dispensed through dispensers supplied
and maintained by MUGOYA. In line with
good concrete practices, MUGOYA also
offers de-moulding oils and curing
compounds in order to produce the
desired finish on the ready mix concrete
required.
SITE BATCHED CONCRETE MARKET
SEGMENT
Site Batched concrete involves receiving
and storing materials, batching and
mixing. Although site batching is
frequently seen as a cheaper option than
ordering ready mix concrete, the following
factors should be costed into site batch:
• Wastage and theft of materials
• Handling and storage of materials
• Plant hire/depreciation
• Plant establishment and removal
• Plant operation
• Labour
• Supervision
• Technical Requirements
• Site transport equipment available
to other trades at all times rather
than tied transporting concrete on
site.
THE ADVANTAGES OF SITE BATCHING
CONCRETE:
• A high degree of flexibility in site
management is possible.
• Small quantities can be made at a
short notice.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH MACHINE
My personal experience using the
Bystronic Bystar laser cutting technology
as added a skill set to employment
experience that puts me above most
graduates of my time. Familiarization with
the laser cutting machine and the various
components such as the CNC controller,
Handling system and laser controller has
been an added value to my operational
skills both with the Bysoft 7 Software and
the Byview Operator hand handle device.
TRAINING AND INITIATING OPERATIONS
The acquisition of the necessary specialist
technical knowledge of the machine with
the options available (rotational axis,
Bypos, tactile sensing etc.), as well as
special process modes such as pulsed
operation and engraving, etc. The machine
operator learns how to perform the tasks
which arise during production.
CNC CONTROLLER AND CABINET
The air-conditioned CNC cabinet contains:
- Bystronic CNC controller ByVision
- Drive modules for the main axes
- UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for
the operating terminal
- Pressure regulation for both cutting
gases [N₂ and O₂]
All-round sheet-steel enclosures and a
main filter ensure electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC).
The Bystronic CNC controller is a path
controller designed in-house specifically
for our machines and is based on the very
latest technology.
Network capability of the CNC controller
The CNC-controlled machine can be
connected to the company's intranet by
means of a Netbox (router/switch,
provided by Bystronic).
Cabling is 100 base-T, twisted pair,
category 5 with RJ45 connector
components. Network transmission rate:
100 Mbit/s
LASER
- Up to 6 kW laser power (depending on
the laser module selected)
- Optimum efficiency and start-of-the-art
technologies means very low power
consumption
- Precise, high-speed control of the optical
power means that extremely short
piercing times can be delivered with
maximum reliability and using ultra-
efficient cutting technologies
- The OCS unit (ByLaser 4400 / ByLaser
6000) monitors the output coupler, while
the EMS unit (ByLaser 6000) monitors the
end mirror; both reduce potential burn-
through of the optical elements
- High power efficiency
- Flexible layout design, as individual
machine parts can be installed separately
- Low laser-gas consumption thanks to
Premix.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AT QUARRY
Working at the Quarry has been both
interesting and a learning curve at the
same time. Here I prepare the area for
blasting by drilling holes to varying depths
from 3 to 10 metres with a diameter of
400mm. clearing the site for blasting is key
as the debris is unpredictable during
blasting. Health and safety is vital as flying
rocks can kill or leave huge bruises that
will need medical attention. Once the
blasting zone is safe to proceed arranging
Dumper truck 770 and 773 CAT is always a
joy to witness as the move over 600Tons
of rock in one trip! The Rocks are taken to
the primary jaw crusher 5566 plant that
crushes the rocks to a useable size before
it passes to the secondary crusher where
they are fine tuned to the aggregate sizes
used in construction. A seize test is done
to assure that the shapes of the
aggregates are not flaky and will produce
a decent concrete strength for structural
elements. We then use the aggregate on
our onsite batching plant to then deliver
to our customers.
