Perimeter Wall Construction

These shots show the techniques used for perimeter wall construction in this project. The perimeter wall heights vary, up to a height off 2 m. There are support columns spread equidistantly at appx. 2.5 m. The columns are poured after and around the adjacent block work, with a 'tie in' piece of rebar crossing through the column. Color pigment was added during the application of the final render coat for a paintless surface.

Site Preparation and Management

Materials (as well as equipment) are kept out of the elements so they don't degrade. The grounds are initially treated for underground insects, such as termites.

Deep Water Artesian Well

The 6" bore holes were dug to a depth of over 30 m. A high quality franklin submersible pump is set in the bottom of each bore hole. The water flow rate was tested and easily passed the guaranteed minimum of 2000 liters per hour.

Footing HoleThe footings are dug out 1 m. square by up to 40 cm. deep depending on the slope of the land. As the ground beam will sit right on the footing, the footings are poured so that they are level.dozer

Pesticide applicationOK, I never said anything about high tech. This is the pesticide being applied.dozer

Rough Coat RenderThis shows a color coat of render being applied over a dried rough coat render. There is a certain technique which we employed after some initial missteps to get the block outline not to show through to the color coat.dozer

Bad Cement - IndicationsThis is an example of stale cement. Cement has a shelf life of about 2 months and after that it becomes non powdery and sticks together much like this large size clump indicates. Workers will often try to use this cement with out saying anything but it is low quality and can be returned if it came from the store this way. dozer

Colored Render Coat being AppliedHere is the render coat being applied. This takes some trial and error to get correct with color render.dozer

Diagonal Checks for Column PlacementThe correct placement of columns is important to the overall project to ensure that the wall angles are as they should be and the house is as designed. Often the only tool used is an external measure + the use of a small square. This shows one additional check, taken from the 3 4 5 triangle rule. If you measure 3 meters along one axis and 4 meters along another axis the diagonal should be 5 meters (or in this case 6, 8 and 10). This is done in addition to measuring the diagonals for equality.dozer

Flow Rate verificationThe guaranteed flow rate is 2000 liters per hour. Each canister has a volume of 200 liters, the flow was timed to compute the actual rate. The wells are guaranteed for a period of time and this company is good about servicing wells periodically.dozer

Blocks being LaidHere the cinder blocks are being laid according to a 'straight' line of fishing wire which is used to keep the rows level.dozer
