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.

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
