GOMA SPAN SITE VISIT

2023-06-19T14:04:12+00:00

GOMA SPAN SITE VISIT It is widely agreed among professionals that civil education in universities rarely exposes students to construction methods. The institutes are focused on teaching students to think conceptually and sell their construction designs, but when it comes to actual materials and construction, being on-site allows the student to witness how different materials and components come together and the processes and mechanisms involved in any structure. In fact, ask any professional in the field, and they are likely to mention that most of their knowledge of construction comes from years of on-site experience. Site visits are an essential part [...]
