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.

Form work for ground beamThe wood form work to support the pour of the ground beam which sits on the footing. The ground beam will be 10 centimeters wide by about 20 centimeters deep.

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

Steel StrengthThe steel distributors in general use a system for strength specification which is meaningless structural engineers. The standard strength specification as indicated here is stamped on the rebar and conforms to an SDxx format. This SD30 used here means that it would require a 30 kg. weight to permanently deform a 1 mm strand of this steel. dozer

Color Render ApplicationThere are two layers of render coat applied before the color coat. The render is applied rough and let set up until a finish coat is applied. dozer

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

Color Render ExperimentationHere is some color render being experimented on a larger scale. This gives a better idea of how the final appearance will be.dozer

Red Perimeter Wall SectionAesthetically, the wall finish looks nicer without the underlying blocks showing through. Although the pattern seems to diminish with time (due to the blocks drying out), we now have figured out how to get no show through at all. dozer

Comparison Regular Cinderblock to Oversize CinderblockThis shows the size differential between the normal cinderblock and the oversize cinderblock. Please also note that the normal cinderblock generally has no openings at the bottom, where the oversize has standard size openings in the top and bottom.dozer
