Andriod Application for Curing and Irrigation

In the construction industry, there is a rapid growth due to the urbanisation. So, there will be a maximum demand for manpower and resources. Due to the limitations of manpower and resources, their minimum wages are also increasing day by day.

In the past few years, the SoR (Schedule of rates) of the different states in India has also changed the rate for the labour into hourly basics instead of daily wages. If the work is extended for at least one hour, there will be a huge increase in the construction cost.

The resources used for the construction (cement, aggregates, and water) is also increasing due to urbanisation and usage of the materials. When coming to the structural issues the strength of the concrete or cement will attain very high when it is cured at a perfect time along with good water properties (free from salts etc).

So, it is evident to get good strength, the freshly poured concrete should get enough content of water. If we increase the timings of the labour it will also increase the cost of the project. To overcome this problem, we can use the technology and make a sensor-based curing system which will automatically supply the water when the water is below the required content. We can even build an android application so that we can monitor it from anywhere.

Project Description:

In this project, the Arduino UNO microcontroller board is used. A water content sensor is connected to the board. This board will regulate the water flow, based on the water content.

Requirements:

Water content measuring sensor

Wi-Fi module for sending and receiving the data.

Android Studio for making an android application.

One-way relay for turning on the water source.

Project Implementation:

1. Setup the water content measuring sensor in the respective place.
2. Connect the Arduino to the sensor.
3. Setup the limit for the water sensor using the Arduino.
4. Connect the relay to Arduino.
5. Connect the wi-fi module to the Arduino so that the Arduino can be controlled using an android application.
6. Now you can regulate the water flow based on sensor data and also, we can supply water whenever needed remotely using an android application.

Advantages:

• Less use of workers
• Can regulate the water supply remotely
• Minimization of the water consumption
• Used for Irrigation purpose

Conclusion:

Use of IoT in civil engineering will make things easy. In this project, we are using the IoT techniques to regulate the water supply which in turn saves manpower, water, electricity, and so on.
