I have worked with [X] plumbing company located in [X]. The [X] company is a well-known construction company due to its sky-scraping buildings and many other amazing projects. When clients assign any project, it is the responsibility of the company to deliver a complete project. Every task of the building or project is supervised by the employers i.e., foundation, grey structure, plumbing, electric connections, water, and sanitation, painting, etc. Therefore, every project is a huge responsibility on the shoulders of the company.
I joined this company as a laborer and worked for 7 years. Later, I learned the skill of plumbing from fellow plumbers in the company and settled for this field. I worked hard to achieve the rank of manager of the plumbing department and lead a team of 5 members who are responsible for their roles only.
After 10 years, I want to leave the company permanently and make my own plumbing company as a private contractor which will not be associated with any construction company. We will provide services to anyone who needs them, be it small or big. I have designed a proposal for my idea and included all the essentials.
It is important to seek the approval of the XYZ department before setting up any construction business therefore, I have attached my proposal with details for approval.
Eagerly waiting for your response.
Regards,
[Your Name]
Manager at ABC Company
Introduction
Plumbing is a system that includes the process of conveying fluids for different reasons such as sanitation. It requires the assistance of few types of equipment just like pipes, valves, tanks, and plumbing fixtures. All this equipment keeps the fluid in motion and regularizes the process of plumbing. It follows the basic laws of nature i.e., gravity, pressure as water seeks its own level.
There are two subsystems in every plumbing system. One subsystem is responsible for bringing fresh water into the building whereas the other subsystem takes wastewater out of the building. When freshwater enters a building, it is under enough pressure to move against nature i.e., it moves upwards and to the other corners because of the pressure.
It passes through a meter that regulates the amount of water being used. The stop button is located close to the meter in every plumbing system. This button is used to stop water otherwise any bursting pipe or plumbing emergency can cause flooding of the entire building.
Freshwater serves the purpose of cold water whereas another subsystem is installed for hot water, it brings water in the building from the heating room. The drainage system does not depend on pressure instead, wastewater leaves the building because all the pipes and fixtures are point downward and gravity does its work. The waste line continues this downward flow until it opens into a sewer tank.
Vents in the plumbing system are located on the roofs of the building and allow the entry of air into the drainage pipes. Air allows the movement of the wastewater in the pipes which would otherwise be stuck.
Supply and drainage subsystems are two distinct systems and do not overlap. Bridges are found in these systems, making a plumbing system worthy of use.
My plumbing company will be able to resolve all the issues related to water movement and drainage. In addition to working on bigger projects, the company will dedicate few workers for online assistance. These plumbers will be able to fix your plumbing problems by coming to your house after you call to book them. The facility will be provided for small chores at doorsteps to provide ease to the residents.
