Civil engineering tools and their uses :

tape measure

Tape measures are the most common construction tool made of fabric tape,
fiberglass, or metal with proper linear measuring markings for easy handling.
Use
Tape measures are used to measure distance, whether it is short or long.
Engineer's tape is designed to measure great distances and it can be carried more
efficiently in our toolbox or pocket.
Trowel

Use
A hand tool used to smooth, dig, apply, or move mortar or concrete is a trowel.
Trowel construction tools are classified into the following types and subtypes;
Concrete mixer

Use
A concrete mixer, often referred to as a concrete mixer, is a machine that
homogeneously mixes all the ingredients in concrete, i.e., cement, aggregates,
sand, gravel, and water, to produce good quality concrete.

A standard concrete mixer adopts a rotating drum to mix ingredients. It is one of

the most important construction tools.
 I. INTRODUCTION

We're going to dive into the captivating world of civil engineering, the oil
industry, and mining. These areas play an essential role in the development of
our society. In this presentation, we will discover the tools that contribute to
their growth.
 Sand Screening Machine

Use
In construction work, the sand screening machine is used to sieve the sand.
For easier separation of fine-grained sand, sand is poured over the sieve and
vibrates.
Since only wet sand is available in many constructions, the vibration action is
more advantageous in this case.
Dent/Clevis Cutter

Use
The bump cutter or screed is mainly made of wood and it is used to level fresh
concrete and provide the most suitable smooth surface in a concrete slab.
Needle vibrator

Use
It is the most commonly used vibrator for concrete, which consists mainly of
steel tubes.
A needle vibrator is the most suitable choice for working on any concrete.
 Wheelbarrow

Use
The wheelbarrow tool is used for transporting mortar, cement or concrete or any
other material.
In some cases, it is used to measure the amount of material at the site where the
concrete is prepared.

Extended vibrator or shutter

Use
External shakers are frequently used for prefabricated thin in-situ sections of this
shape and thickness, as internal shakers cannot compact them.

Line Level

Use
The line level is one of the smallest construction tools used to check straight
horizontal levels in the jobs mentioned below;

Plastering work
Masonry
Flooring work
Plumbing work
Tiling
 CONCLUSION

In short, it is clear that these industries are essential for the development of our
society. They shape our world and contribute to progress. They provide job
opportunities and stimulate the economy.We need to recognize the importance of
these areas and support their continued development for a prosperous future
 Mining Tools and Their Uses
BLASTHOLE DRILLS

Use
Blasthole drills are mining machines that drill holes in the surface of the earth to
place explosives.
BUCKET SHOVELS

Use
Bucket wheel excavators are used in open-pit mines. These mining tools
continuously dig, transport, and load materials, extracting up to 240,000 cubic
tons of minerals per day.
 DOZERS

Use
Bulldozers are earth-moving machines that transport soil from one area to
another.
DRAGLINE SHOVELS

Use
Draglines are used in surface mining to remove overburden. The massive bucket
system is attached to large booms and dragged across the surface of the earth for
excavation. It is one of the largest pieces of land-based mining equipment used
in mining or any other industry
 GRADERS

Use
Graders are used to create viable roads for mining trucks so that they can
transport minerals out of the mine and keep them profitable.

HIGH-WAISTED MINERS

Use
Tall miners are mining machines that extract coal from exposed seams. Tall
miners rotate up and down a wall, grinding mineral deposits out of walls. These
mining tools are also used for trenching.
