Hi all, greetings of the days, nice to meet everyone here, and thank you for being invited to join here.
Azess Ibrahim Oluwafemi.
Few years after graduating from university, like many in the industry I volunteer to be a site Engineer in a construction firm. No salaries or benefits but only site allowance N3,500 per week. The said allowance couldn't even cover for my transport fare and feeding, talk more of my upkeep.
One day, I met a friend on transit and he said how could whole me with my experience working for free? I laugh😂. He further said, "he would rather be sleeping at home than volunteer for free." I told him, I still need more experience. Besides, I never consider the job suffering or beneath me.
I focused on building myself. I learnt all was needed on the job and in 6 months, I enrolled for my MSc programme and had my first breakthrough. The rest they say is history.
These are challenges of many of our young graduates who have potential to run bigger task but no opportunities. Don't be shy to start small and learn across the process. Remember, success isn't lottery, it only happen to those who work hard and prepare for it. The dream is free, but the success is sold.
Don't let anyone ever suggest that the job or task is beyond your qualification or education. Don't stay idle. Ensure you put your best to anything you find doing. In the process of doing something, your commitment will discover and announce you. This is what will recommend you.
See, you will only find a better place if you demonstrate that you have the capacity for bigger responsibilities while at your current role.
Don't complain about where you are now. Open to the possibilities of learning from your experience and that of others. Ensure no one tell you otherwise. With this you will find better opportunities locate you.

Greetings success, healthy and safe. I have compiled a Progress Measurement Procedure for construction works in the Oil and Gas field. it covers all scope of works, Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Pipeline (Piping), Electrical, Instrument and Telecom, Painting and Insulation, Pre-commissioning. Sorry, it's not sharing for free, If you are interested to have the complete procedure, kindly reach me via email at [email protected] then I will inform you of its term and conditions.#projectcontrols #projectplanning #projectmanagement #projectcontrollers #projectplanners #construction
Contractors lost $1.8 trillion globally in 2020 due to bad data, new report says
Bad data also may have caused 14% of all rework, accounting for $88 billion in losses, per Autodesk and FMI Consulting's survey

Earthquake Early Warning Systems
Real-time earthquake early warning systems are designed to detect and alert people about earthquakes before the ground shaking arrives. These systems use a network of sensors placed throughout an area that can detect the initial wave, or P-wave, of an earthquake. P-waves travel faster than the more damaging S-waves that cause the ground shaking, so if the early warning system detects a P-wave, it can quickly issue an alert to people in the affected area before the shaking arrives.

@construct_world
The effectiveness of earthquake early warning systems depends on how quickly the warning can be issued and how much time people have to take protective actions before the shaking begins. In some cases, even a few seconds of warning can be enough to allow people to take cover, turn off gas or electrical appliances, or move to a safer location.
There are a few different types of real-time earthquake early warning systems that are being developed and deployed around the world. One type is based on GPS technology, which can detect the movement of the ground and quickly issue a warning when an earthquake is detected. Another type is based on the use of accelerometers, which are sensitive devices that can detect even small ground movements.
Several countries, including Japan, Mexico, and Taiwan, have already implemented real-time earthquake early warning systems, and other countries, including the United States, are working to develop and deploy their own systems. As the technology continues to advance, these systems are becoming more effective at detecting and issuing warnings about earthquakes, which can ultimately save lives and reduce the damage caused by seismic events.

"Building the world, one brick at a time. From skyscrapers to bridges, civil engineers and construction workers are the unsung heroes behind some of the world's most impressive structures."
Did you know that the construction industry is one of the largest employers in the world?
The construction industry is one of the largest employers in the world, with over 180 million workers employed worldwide, according to the International Labour Organization (ILO). In the United States alone, the construction industry employs over 7 million workers, making it one of the largest industries in the country. In developing countries, the construction sector can account for as much as 10% of total employment, according to the World Bank. Moreover, the construction industry has a significant economic impact, contributing over $1 trillion to the United States' GDP each year. With urbanization and population growth driving demand for new infrastructure and buildings, the construction industry is expected to continue to be a major employer in the coming years. The Global Infrastructure Outlook estimates that the world will need to invest $94 trillion in infrastructure by 2040 to keep up with demand.
