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.
