RENOVATION ON PLUMBING WORK AND DOOR FRAME ON TOILET APARTMENT
ABSTRACT
The durability of a Plumbing system is dependent of its component parts and the coupling skills of those who fixed it. No plumbing system however well designed can be expected to operate safely or hygienically if the products or materials used are unsatisfactory. The inverse is also true if the best quality products or materials used are used but are installed incorrectly. The system will be a failure. This renovation was done to enable free flow of water and also changed bad and unwanted materials. The material used like WC, PVC, pipes and many more. the application of the materials and products was supported by some civil engineering students so as to help them broaden their knowledge on plumbing works. The door frame was also renovated and the wood used is of mahogany tree. The wood is free from degradation like biological deterioration, mechanical degradation and also the timber free from defect like termite eating up the wood. The preservative measures of the timber were taken to resist attack of insects on the timber. Finally, the renovation on the plumbing works and door frame has good finishing, the appearance is very good and will be very useful to what it will be used for.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
A door is a movable structure used to open and close an entrance. The frame is what gives the door support. It is very useful in construction works and even utilization of wood products and produce in home and other places. In our world today, water is among the natural resources that sustains human being. How to use and channel the water either in the house or office is also essential. Good channel of water help water to flow well and freely without obstruction which is used to perform task like bathing, cooking, washing, etc.
1.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
This will help to expose the students to the practical aspect of plumbing and woodwork.
1.3 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Though there are many ways and materials which can be used in solving these problems of plumbing and frame work. But and good look to the work. But this study is based on the use of PVC in making better work and plastic of higher strength can be utilized to make strong and comfortable frames can structure to be used for hanging of door.
But this study is based on the use of timber in making better construction of works to limit this damages and better strange of properties.
