Soalan-soalan yang Aku Kene Jawab Mase Interview PE (Part B)

Bile aku terlibat sebagai Water Works Engineer, aku appreciate sgt jerih perih mereka nak bagi air ade di setiap umah kite. Susah Woo..

Assalamuálaikum dan Salam Sejahtera,

Kali ni aku sambung lagi citer ape soalan-soalan interview PE yang aku kene tembak dan jawapan aku.

Note: Ape aku citer kat sini tak la tepat seperti mana mase aku interview PE aku. Ade la terlebih terkurang dalam citer ni. So, mintak halal la lebih kurang ek.

Interviewer: Tell me your experience as Water Works Site Engineer?
Aku: I work at Kulai Johor Project of 1400mm diameter pipes. Around 22km length connecting from Bukit tinggi tu Skudai. The water come water treatment plant at Semangar and to be supplied to Skudai area.

Interviewer: What is your responsibilities?
Aku: The responsibilities are quite the same as Building Site Engineer except I need to ensure the safety at site especially during the unloading of the big pipes. I need to ensure that all the Traffic Management Plan is in order before proceed with the unloading work. I need to provide the cranes for the unloading work at site.

Interviewer: So, the TMP will be the new thing to you?
Aku: Yes.

Interviewer: So, tell me what is the challenge for this project.
Aku: As I mentioned in my experience report (aku saja cakap camni, supaya interviewer tu terase skit la. Bende ni aku ade citer dalam experience report aku. AKu nak tunnjuk yang aku ni transparent la) one of the biggest challenge for this project is the land acquisition issues. According to the contract, we as the main contractor will be awarded the project stage by stage. We get when we were awarded, we will get all the portion of lands in the first stage area. 3 months from that, we will be awarded for the 2nd stage and 3 stage will be awarded in another 6 months. However, in reality, the stages were not awarded according to the contract. Therefore, my site agent and I need to do our own initiative to negotiate with the land owner for the early commencement.

Interviewer: Did you succeeded?
Aku: Some of the land owner give us permission to enter the site but some of them want to wait for the official land acquisition. So, in my opinion, some of the negotiation we succeed and some of it no.

Interviewer: How this is the challenge to your site? Why don't you just wait for the official land acquisition to settle then you enter the site?
Aku: Actually that is the correct way to handle it contractually (Aku suke guna cara ni. Setuju dulu pendapat dia kemudian baru kite lawan balik dengan fact and figure). However, it will cost us as main contractor to pay for the idling work at site. We still need to provide cost for workers' salary and maintenance of machinery. We also face the challenge to proceed with our pipe supply since there were no location at site to deliver the pipes. The pipe suppliers also need to deliver the pipes to us as soon as possible because their storage also full with our pipes alone.

Interviewer: Do you know how to design the pipe supply?
Aku: Honestly, I only know the gist of it. To design in detailed, I have no experience on that (mengaku je, korang tak failed kalau korang mengaku bende yang memang korang tak penah buat)

Interviewer: May I know what the gist that you mean?
Aku: I mean, I know what is the hydraulic gradeline, Why in some area I need to cut so deep so that the water can flow. I also know that once we install all the fittings and specials, we will cause minor head loss. I also know that our pressure test at site must be double than the design pressure for the pipes.

Interviewer: Do you know what was the pressure test for your pipes?
Aku: I.. (aku cube ingat balik, tapi lupe, alamak, camne ni).... honestly forgot sir. But if you give me the specification from the contract, in less than 5 minutes I can show to you how much is it. (interviewer to senyum je ngan jawapan aku. Yela, nak buat camne. Dah lupe)

Kemudian.. kite sambung lagi kesah ni kat Part C lak nnti ek.. Saboorr..
