Construction Studies Brief History
Details: Construction Studies (C.S.) was established in 1984 and was first
introduced to vocational schools It is a second level senior cycle subject and a follow on subject from
junior certificate Materials Technology Wood (MTW) It is part of the ‘established leaving certificate’ programme The subject is optional, meaning students can choose to study it if they
wish. It is offered in most schools but not all. It offers a broad range of learning involving both theory and practical. In terms of its assessment, it is offered at both ordinary and higher level The uptake in C.S. has continued despite the collapse of the Irish
Construction sector/Industry. This can be largely attributed to the learning experience on offer and
the respect for teachers of C.S.

Construction Studies: Current Trends
Though the theoretical areas/principles of the subject remain the same there has been a significant change in the process of building.
This is currently being assessed in the leaving certificate exam, which is set by the State Examinations Commission (SEC).
The subject has engendered a strong theme for economic, social and environmental building performance, i.e. sustainability.
A few years ago the subject was to receive a formal update including a revised syllabus and new name –Architectural Technology.
However, the current economic climate and the issue of funds to support the broader range of development in the technologies has resulted in this plan being shelved until a future date.

WT5912
• Section 8(2)e of the 2005 Act states that it is the duty of every employer
“to provide systems of work that are planned, organised, performed and maintained so as to be, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risk to health.”
• Health and safety management is a practical and systematic approach to identifying hazards and evaluating the extent of associated risk
Health & Safety Management
Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

The CE Marking is not a mark indicating conformity to a standard but rather a mark indicating conformity to the legal requirements of EU Directives.
CE Mark
Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology
WT5912
• CE Marking is the symbol as shown on the top of this page.
• The letters "CE" are the abbreviation of French phrase "Conformité Européene" which literally means "European Conformity".
• The term initially used was "EC Mark" and it was officially replaced by "CE Marking" in the Directive 93/68/EEC in 1993.
CE Mark
Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology
WT5912
• Machinery must bear the “CE” mark in order to be deemed in compliance with these regulations.
• Must not add to machinery – must be there… criminal offence to try to add it.
• Also an offence to reduce the visibility of the “CE” Marking on a machine.
CE Mark
Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology
WT5912
The existence of the “CE” marking on a piece of machinery should indicate that its manufacturer has met all relevant standards and requirements.

Step 1: Isolate machine
Step 2: Squaring guide fence •Set up surface planer guide fence @ 90⁰ to table surface •Note infeed and outfeed table. •Square to infeed using right angle square. •Use red lock handles to open and adjust fence. •Lock gently when fence is perpendicular to infeed table.
Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology
WT5912
Step 3: Setting infeed dept •This machine is calibrated in metric. •Maximum recommended material removal is 1-2mm/pass •Dept stop to be set at 2mm •Open infeed lock handle •Turn wheel to left to drop table to 2mm •Lower you drop, the more the planer cutting block is exposed •Close infeed lock handle when required dept is achieved. •* Do not adjust outfeed table level, this is for maintenance purposes only*

WT5912
Step 5: Guard adjustment •Guard set for face side = handle up – 10mm blade exposure •Guard set for face edge = handle flat – no blade exposure
Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology
WT5912
Step 6: Material Inspection •Inspect material for the following defects
•Cupping •Bowing •Twist •Knots •Loose grain
•Example - if material is bowed, set the bowed face to the surface planer table surface and process. Material should never be run through hump side down.
Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology
WT5912
Step 7: Determining face side and face edge •Use machine surface to check square •Select appropriate face side and face edge based on inspection •Preliminary surface marking using an ‘X’ with no less than a HB pencil •Ensure extraction gate valve is open and extraction is on •Proceed to plane material – face side and face edge only! Gate Valve locate on extractor pipe
