Learning outcome
I have learned a lot during this site visit, it has helped me in a lot of ways lectures doesn’t
help. I get to see the things I have learned in class in front of me so that I could visualize
better. This way it can help me to understand better. During this trip it has allowed me to
enhance my knowledge more on pad footings, strip foundation, machineries and many
more. I have also learned that working in a construction site requires a lot of precautions.
