Africa-Press – Angola. A group of final year students from the 13th class of the secondary auto mechanics course at the Instituto Politécnico do Caminho de Ferro de Moçâmdes, in Lubango, Huíla province, created a scaffolding prototype with an electromechanical elevator, aimed at civil construction with greater safety .
This is a technological project supported by two motors and a 12 volt battery, made of rods and sheets, based on a platform synchronized by electric current, whose objective is to facilitate the execution of multiple loading and transport services for workers to upper floors, without having to climb traditional scaffolding ladders.
Regarding the subject, the coordinator of the group of creative students, Agostinho Pedro, stated that the objective of creating the respective prototype is to reduce human physical effort and provide more safety to workers .
Without revealing the cost of the investment, he stated that the prototype is designed to work up to five floors, it was driven by direct and non-alternating current electric motors, which could be quite useful, if it receives support.
On the occasion, he requested the local government to invest in its implementation, with the aim of modernizing the equipment and reducing the heavy burden on workers using this technological means for use in civil construction works.
In turn, the professor who accompanies the student creators, Yuri Cambanda, considered that the project is “quite fruitful”, in that if well developed, it will be used to carry out dynamic work, without having to assemble the mechanical scaffolding, which requires more effort on the part of the builder and risk in lifting loads, such as cement, sand, putty and bricks.
The institute was opened four years ago and its mission is to promote excellent training for administrative, executive and operational staff, as well as to carry out research with the aim of contributing to the improvement of organization and functioning in the transport sector and the market in general.
It has 515 students, with 16 courses on offer in the curriculum, but at the start they only have four courses available, namely industrial electricity, industrial maintenance, auto mechanics and safety, hygiene and health at work.
The unit has seven classrooms, 10 classes, a library and a boarding school, previously it operated as a school, attached rooms to the Humpata polytechnic medium institute and at this time the technical aspect was opened.
