I urgently need assistance from anyone that can help construct this exact pillar.my site Engr seems overwhelmed.

The finished pillar design on that nice looking building is what I'm trying to achieve.anyone that construct exact pillars should contact me now.

You can also share ideas on how to achieve the above design

The pillars should be conical in shape

The pillars should be conical in shape

The artwork design mould should be the last thing after the desired form has been achieved, first by the arrangement and alignment of the iron work/formwork with the beam that is supposed to rest on the pillars.

The iron rods can simply be arranged to go straight up with its radius reduced(cos its the central core that bears structural load), while the carpenter sets the formwork to achieve your desired conical form, before concrete is poured.

And with this, the artwork should be cast on the pillars directly, when the formwork is removed as against casting on ground and fixing on the pillars later, as is currently been done. Only the base and capitol designs should be cast on ground and fixed later.

Hence, the major/intricate work here, lies with the carpenter and the artwork designer. The iron bender is just doing his usual work.

All the best.

I need more suggestions as I intend copying this link to my Engr. If I can't get someone that can implement this here.

The crown seems to be where u guys seem to be having problems the crown would be molded by a sculptor get one and show the picture of what you want to him or her and he or she knows what to do. Do the precast form work cast to the top run the beam all these giving allowance fort the sculptor to come do the finishing.

Where is the site? may be we can come or send someone close by.

The column will be done as precast, moulded by the pop people (sculptors) & be used as the form work.

Prepare the base of the column, blind, put the reinforcement rod, should be placed in a circular form & cast the base with concrete.

After that extend the reinforcement by lapping it to the length of the column, cast the kicker & remove the form work after.

Then place the precast pop column shape using it as the form work & pour concrete mix inside it.Your column is set.
