Fantastic work...

Thanks bro

We have a total of 79 columns here

Details:
13 columns --- 8bars of Y16 (TMT)
24 columns ---- 6bars of Y16 (TMT)
42 columns --- 4 bars of Y16 ( TMT)

----------
79 columns

Casting the shuttering

Alignment of columns, if boarded with planks, could be very difficult, but we are ready for the challenge

Shuttering installation

Still on the oversight Concrete construction of about 985m² foundation b/w 6 to 9inches thickness.

The oversight concrete approximately consumed 625bags of cement

The oversight Concrete construction sofar on the other part of the foundation

About 80 columns to board

While the oversight Concrete construction was going on, here under the mango tree we are fabricating the Shuttering for the 4m columns

1. Settling the backfilled soil with enough pressure water.

2. Compacting the saturated soil

3. DPM installation

4. DPC (full course)

5. Taking level & Boarding the foundation

6. Casting the Oversight concrete

Materials

* Water
* Thick Polyethylene membrane
* Planks and nails
* ¾ graded aggregate
* River sharp sand
* Supast Cement

Continuing the update on the plaza construction....

My biggest challenge most times is time to update early enough due to workload ( lack of chance or in remote areas out of network signals)

Pls bear with us on that.

Backfilling with Excavator

Backfilling the foundation....

Overview of some part of the foundation

A single foundation construction of 1000m² is tedious though interesting if you understand the intricacies

Reinforcing some part

< Bear with me, got so busy >

Moving on....


Foundation reinforcement, Backfilling, settling the soil, damp-contol measures, the casting.

More details on foundation

Erection of columns

Foundation walling

We made a strap control concrete guide for soil blinding with board according to the measurement needed to avoid wastage

Column base excavation...

Strap maintenance...

Blindinf off the soil...

Receiving more materials for concrete construction in a short while

5ft deep, steep land level technique applies, Strap foundation type.

Excavation: more update


The excavator actually completed the foundation excavation within 12 operational hours

Strap Excavation

The foundation excavation started on the 10th Dec 23

Using excavation machine 320 precisely will get the job ready within 16 hours

The excavator for the excavation just arrived, Excavating with a different machine 320 Model for efficiency

The foundation length and width.

Length = 51m

Width = 21.9m

Are you referring to fence coping chief?

Boss man i greet you.

No, i mean capping

Capping and copping seem alike but not the same.

Copping has a hip on top but doesn't have projection by the sides of the fence.

While Capping has flat top but a little projection by the sides of the fence.

However, one can choose to cop and cap on the same fence

Image 1 is Copping

Image 2 is Capping

Valuepaints20:
Instead of doing cement screeding on your fence I will strongly advise that homeowners to go for tyrolean on their fence. Or better still just do sandpaper and paint with Matt emulsion paint if know power for the tyrolean yet.

Am not trying to say screeding is bad ó please don't get me wrong sir/ma. But is more ok on main building the reason is that main building as roof at top to stop rain falling on it. And if you take note fence don't use to have roof covering and if rain keep falling on it back to back that is where you will start seeing some screeding wall getting black and peeling off as time goes on.

Fence can have roof too, the fence cap, when Screeding is done properly it will not fail irrespective of how much rain and sunshine it's exposed to.
