Quicklime Stabilization
A soil treatment method that uses calcium oxide (quicklime) to improve soil strength, reduce moisture content, and enhance construction suitability.
Radiant Heating System
A heating system that transfers warmth through floors, walls, or ceilings using electric coils or hot water pipes, enhancing energy efficiency.
Rebar (Reinforcing Bar)
Steel bars or mesh embedded in concrete structures to increase tensile strength and improve load-bearing capacity.
Reclamation Project
A construction initiative aimed at restoring or repurposing land that was previously unsuitable for development, such as wetlands or former industrial sites.
Rectification Period
A specified time after project completion during which contractors are required to correct defects at no additional cost to the owner.
Relative Compaction
A measure of soil density achieved through compaction compared to the maximum possible density, ensuring foundation stability.
Relative Humidity
The amount of water vapor present in air expressed as a percentage of the amount needed for saturation at the same temperature.
Remote Work
Work done outside of a traditional office environment, often from home or a co-working space.
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
An injury to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems that may be caused by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression, or sustained or awkward positions.
Request for Information (RFI)
A document clarifying project details.
