CONSTRUCTION OF A PERIMETER FENCE AROUND THE DEPARTMENTAL FEMALE MOSQUE
Abstract
The Project aimed to design and construct a fence that meets the specific needs of the
mosque while adhering to civil engineering principles. Security and privacy concerns
were the primary drivers for this initiative, with the mosque serving as a place of worship
for female students and staff who require a safe and private space.. The compressive
strength of the cubes produced in the laboratory with curing days 7, 14 and 28 days are
15.16N/mm2
, 18.73N/mm2
and 19.96N/mm2
respectively. The completed fence, though
unfinished, successfully addressed the primary concerns of security and privacy. This
project contributed to the development of Civil Engineering skills, particularly in
perimeter fencing design and construction. Recommendations for future phases include
using durable, low-maintenance materials, completing the remaining construction, and
encouraging similar hands-on projects to enhance students' practical skills in Civil
Engineering. Overall, this project has improved the safety and privacy of the Mosque's
users while providing valuable learning experiences for the students involved.
