RAF Consult Sdn. Bhd. / Muhammad Zaki Ikmal Mohammad Shahir

Industrial training refers to a program which aims to expose students to real life experience to be a Civil Engineer within a specified timeframe. Industrial training can help students gain a little bit about the activities and tasks that need to be implemented as a Civil Engineer. RAF Consult is chosen because it is a consultant company that offer engineering and consulting services which their scope of works are related with the syllabus of Civil Engineering
course.
In a short period of time I have been exposed to consulting works and site surrounding as they offer me to teach me how to design a building using specific software and place me at their site construction for me to experience the life as a site engineer. I also get the opportunity to familiarize the site and learnt how the engineer is responsible to ensure the progression of the project. At the office, I have been taught by Mr. Zaini who is a professional in Building
Information Modelling (BIM) on how to design buildings using BIM software such as Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis. At the site, I have been taught by Mr. Taufik who is a Site Engineer from. RAF Consult on how to be a Site Engineer and learnt about Pile Driving Analysis Test (PDA Test).
Autodesk Revit is one of Building Information Modelling (BIM) software for Structural Engineer, Designer and Architect. Autodesk Revit is more convenience than Autodesk AutoCAD as AutoCAD is primarily a drafting tool to create basic geometry that represents real life while Revit is used to create geometry that is required with real life information. Revit also supports a modeling workflow, where deliverables such as drawings and schedules come directly from a single, unified model.
The Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) system is the most widely employed system for Dynamic Load Testing and Pile Driving Monitoring in the world. High Strain Dynamic Load
Tests, also called PDA tests, assess the capacity of several piles in a single day. Pile Driving Analyzer systems also evaluate shaft integrity, driving stresses, and hammer energy when monitoring installation.
