After the concrete has been poured and set, the columns are attached to a metal plate and a quick-setting grout is applied. The use of leveling grout allows the columns to be positioned properly.
Elevations must be confirmed before the supporting mid-span columns are ready to receive the modules. The large black pipe seen here connects to the sump pump.
The foundation wall has been set in place and a truck pours concrete for the interior structural piers.
Reinforcing rod sits inside the footing and will be filled with concrete to the top of the pin - exactly 12 inches.
Expect the completed exterior wall to resemble this mock-up.
Site workers cover structural reinforcing pads. The pads provide structural reinforcement for point loads for the building foundation.
Workers check the foundation stone in preparation for the foundation wall to be installed. Two types of aggregate cover the pad site. The darker brown 1A gravel provides tighter contact points along the perimeter of the foundation wall. The lighter colored 2B aggregate sits beneath the poured concrete slabs.
