Perimeter Wall Construction


DSC03069~0.JPG

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.

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.

Proper SquaringThe 3,4,5 is a redundant check to the diagonal check, but it can come in handy in certain situations where the diagonals cannot be easily accessed. I would note that most houses in Thailand are not 'square' because basic checks like these are not commonly done.dozer

Pesticide applicationThis is the pesticide used for termite termination, brand 'kornonam', which mixes with water 1 part to 19 parts. This seems to be a very and simple and effective preventative measure. dozer

SpacersConcrete spacers are produced in various sizes during the project. Spacers are used in all the foundation work of the house + the driveways and external walkways.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
