CE 3.2 Project Background
CE 3.2.1 Characteristics of the project
The project of Design and Fabrication of Railroad Construction for Subway was my
third important project in engineering career. Rail transport can be defined as the specific
means to transfer its passengers or goods over the wheeled vehicles that are running over
rails, called tracks. Railroad is even termed as the train transport. In the contrast of the road
transports, where the vehicles could run on any prepared flat surface, the rail vehicles or the
rolling stocks are eventually guided by these tracks where they are running. These tracks
generally comprise of the steel rails that is being installed over the ties or the sleepers
or ballast, where this rolling stock, generally fitted with the metal wheels or moves. The other
variations could also be possible, like the slab tracks, where these rails are eventually
fastened to the concrete foundation that are resting over any prepared subsurface. This project
was executed for the subways.
CE 3.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
This particular project of Design and Fabrication of Railroad Construction for
Subway consisted of two objectives. They are as follows:

 To design and fabricate railroad construction for subways.
 To solve the issues related to existing railroads.
CE 3.2.3 My area of work
The project of Design and Fabrication of Railroad Construction for Subway had
various important segments. My major area of work was to make the design of the railroad to
be constructed. I had to report directly to our project manager regarding the progress of
various activities and about the coordination that is needed with the various vendors. During
the phase of procurement, I had been involved in each and every negotiation meeting, which
took place in various packages. I even coordinated with the designing consultants or
architects for all the issues that are faced by team of execution on site and within drawings
done by them.

CE 3.2.5 My responsibilities throughout the project
I had some of the major responsibilities in this particular project of Design and
Fabrication of Railroad Construction for Subway. My first and foremost responsibilities were
the perfect preparation of various technical specifications, the tender preparation, proper
analysis of each of these tenders, and thus bringing contractors on board as well as the
preparation of this contract. In the beginning, I was eventually facing some of the problems,
while making this contact. However, my respective project supervisor and all the team
members had helped in solving the various difficulties. My next important responsibilities
were to prepare the several quality manuals as well as standards for the management and
issuing all the drawings of this project. I had also determined or interpreted the specifications,
drawings, plans, construction methodologies as well as procedures. Furthermore, I even
documented, coordinated or planned with a team for the execution of sites. The overall
progress of this project was daily monitored with this schedule of Project Master. I even
prepared the certification and billing of the contractors’ payment. I also studied the several
architectural or engineering drawings as well as specifications for the perfect calculation of
the total expenses and also prepared this detailed cost plan. I also estimated the most
significant tools to assist within the control of budgets.
CE 3.3 Distinctive Activity
CE 3.3.1 Engineering knowledge and skills applied in the project
I had successfully applied some of the most important skills or knowledge in this
specific project of Design and Fabrication of Railroad Construction for Subway. I have even
utilized my skills or knowledge of civil engineering for the perfect success of any project. I
eventually knew that when each and every member would be applying their analytical skills
or knowledge within this project accurately, it was evident that this project would be a major
