The present study discuss regarding ground water quality and also estimation of the water quality index (WQI) near the municipal dump site in Guntur which has non engineered and improper land fill. Through this landfill leachate is generated and pollute the ground water quality and the local water bodies near it. This has been determined by collecting the ground water samples at different points around the dump site in the poly-ethylene bottles and subjecting the samples to a comprehensive physico-chemical analysis. For calculating the water quality index certain parameters has been considered: Ph, turbidity, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, chlorides, alkalinity, acidity, fluorides, total dissolved oxygen, total suspended solids, total solids. The results are compared with the Indian Standards of the drinking water (BIS -10500-1991). By using the weighted arithmetic method the water quality index is analyzed. This study is a reference to implement the best suitable technique to construct the land fill. The construction of landfill will help the dump site for not allowing the Leachate to percolate into the soil. The research suggests upgrading of municipal dump to landfill for the protection of ground water.

Pre-engineered building concept involves pre-designed and prefabricated steel building systems. The current construction approach calls for the best architectural look, high quality & quick construction, cost-effective & creative touch. One has to think of alternative building systems such as pre-engineered steel buildings. The implementation of the Pre Engineered Building (PEB) is a modern-day concept in which utilizing the steel structure and optimizing the design by ensuring economical integrity. The main objective of this paper is to understand the concepts of PEB and to minimize the usage of cost and time. While compared to other technologies in construction Pre Engineered Building is more sustainable and stands top position when compared with other technologies. If we go for standard steel structure the time frame will be longer and the price will be higher in comparison with PEB. The materials which are used in this concept are reusable, recyclable and eco-friendly.
