Description

Civil work refers to the core construction, structural, and infrastructure activities required to build, alter, or maintain the physical framework of buildings, transportation networks, and public utilities. It encompasses everything from foundational ground-shaping to the reinforced structural skeleton of a facility. Core Scope of Civil Works 1. Site Preparation & Earthworks * Land clearing, leveling, and site grading. * Trenching and deep soil excavation. * Soil stabilization, backfilling, and compaction. 2. Substructure & Foundations * Concrete footings (isolated, combined, raft/mat). * Pile driving and foundation caps. * Retaining walls, shoring, and underground water sumps/septic systems. 3. Superstructure & Masonry * Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) elements: columns, beams, and slabs. * Brickwork, blockwork, and shear wall construction. * Parapet walls, lintels, and chajjas (weather shades). 4. External Infrastructure & Paving * Internal/external access roads, asphalt or concrete paving, and curbing. * Stormwater drainage channels, culverts, and sewer lines. * Boundary walls and underground utility conduit networks. 5. Plastering & Sub-Surface Preparation * Internal and external cement-sand plastering. * Sub-base screeding for flooring and terrace slope creation.
