Week two: Tuesday, 13th of April, 2010

I continued reading what I was assigned to read by Mrs. Nurul Azni which is studying the construction process of the ducts and manholes.
Around 10 am I was called by Eng. Nor Zaidi bin Abdul Majib, who assigned me to join TNB team who were about to go to a manhole factory at the time.

Manhole factory visit
A visit was conducted by TNB team to a manhole Factory named “Target”. The team representatives are Mr. Awbtar “civil engineer of TNB construction unit”, Mr. Mohd Ridzwan bin Kadir “electrical power engineer at planning unit”, and me.
The factory is located at Lot1894, Jalan KPB 5, Kawasan Perindustrian Balakong, 43300 Seri Kembangan, Selangor Darul Ehsan.
The visit took around three hours time starting around 10:30 am, on Tuesday 13th April 13, 2010. The purpose of the visit is to check the factory product quality and contract conditions in order to approve Target as a supplier for TNB.
We were welcomed by Ms. Josephine Choong, “the sales and marketing manager”, who introduced us to the factory management team and engineers. After that Ms. Choong took us around the factory sections. Then she showed us the example for a manhole which was designed to be used in TNB projects.
After that, we went to the meeting room for discussion session. Mr.Awbtar, has added some conditions into the design of the manhole which suits TNB requirement.
After that we left the factory heading back to the office.
