History of telecommunications

The history of telecommunications, after the use of primitive means, begins with the first organized postal services, the development of the telegraph, telephone, wireless and digital communications. This is undoubtedly one of the areas where technology has evolved the fastest. Origin of telecommunications:  Telecom Tower The earliest telecommunication processes were the smoke signals used by Native American peoples in North and South America, and the drums used by the peoples of Africa, New Guinea, and South America. These signals made it possible to transmit sometimes complex information. The Yagans, for example, were using smoke signals to indicate beached whales, so the majority can take the meat from the carcass before it decomposes. Perhaps they were using these signals for other purposes, so it is possible that Fernand de Magellan saw one of these fires when he crossed Patagonia, which inspired the name of Tierra del Fuego. Transmission Tower The ancient...

Formwork for concrete: basic characteristics

Have you started construction and are you planning to build concrete structures with your own hands? In this case, you cannot do without a properly made formwork. We will talk about this structure and how to build it yourself in this article. Main Features Steel formwork - prefabricated structure of special materials or debris, designed to fill the solution and form one or more concrete products. The base of this building are the shaping elements, which are held in the proper position by means of special supports or fasteners. Important: Did you know that the use of formwork goes back to the time of ancient Egypt? There is a theory that blocks for pyramid formwork in construction were not cut in stone, but were cast from a variety of geo polymer concrete into special forms that could be crushed. During the long history of building cement-based mortar solutions, a wide variety of formwork systems have been developed. But, despite the diversity of modifications, all th...

Details Of a Standard System Scope Of Cuplock Scaffolding

The need for system scaffolding in the construction industry to carry out demolition, maintenance and repair work is obvious. One of the best staging structures used in Australia is the Cuplock System, which is based on securing nodes with two cups instead of wedges, nuts and bolts. It provides a fast, multiple and simplified system of start-up projects related to this field of work. It offers a quick solution to ensure up to four horizontals at a time through a reliable top cup that makes the joint firm and rigid. This type of structure is easy to lift and disassemble, leaves no loose ends, requires minimal maintenance and does not use components such as nuts, bolts and wedges. It is better for access or formwork support and has a high load capacity despite being quite light. The varied components of the Cuplock system scaffolding are listed below: Standard / Vertical Cuplock It has cup joints at regular distances; The captive moving upper cups are suitable to face the ...
