• Participating in Plant Safety Training: Learned about and adhered to comprehensive safety measures, including the correct use of PPE and protocols essential for civil engineers in an industrial environment, especially in high-risk zones.
• Observing and Understanding Civil Engineering Applications: Observed structures like acid containment areas, dyke walls, pit linings (using acid-resistant, fire, and insulation bricks), and their maintenance, noting the role of civil engineering in ensuring safe and durable plant infrastructure.
• Learning About Pollution Control and Water Treatment Processes: Gained exposure to pollution control units and water treatment plants, studied operational techniques (clariflocculator, flash mixer, effluent pH management), and understood civil engineeringâ€™s part in environmental compliance.
• Familiarizing With Industrial Manufacturing Processes: Learned about chemical and fertilizer production, including ammonium sulphate, ammonium phosphate, and caprolactam, and related the civil engineering requirements for plant design, specialized lining, and material selection for pipelines and floors.
• Interacting With Engineering Staff: Engaged directly with department heads and employees, asked questions, and observed day-to-day civil maintenance, construction activities, and the operational challenges present in large-scale industrial facilities.
