Specifications
All columns are reinforced with 4 bars of re-bar and depending on the length and thickness of shaft, Y8 or Y10 are used. Should you require any special reinforcing detail, we would be more that happy to discuss it with your engineers. Or if your engineer has the specifications, let us price it with those specifications
Installation of columns
We assume that the correct foundations have been prepared and all outside factors taken in to consideration. Steel rods should be cast into the foundation and positioned so as to pass through the hole in the precast base. (The base must be lifted should both a screed & tiling be required at a later stage).A mixture of 1 part cement, ½ part tile adhesive & 2 parts crusher sand by volume is used to seat the base. The hole in the base must not be filled. Wait 24 hours before placing the shaft in position. First fill base hole with a strong concrete mix, place the shaft on top of the base with the re-bars of the shaft passing into the base. The shaft at this stage must be plumbed, wedged, supported and left to stand for 24 hours. Then put the cap in position with the rebar passing through the hole and fill with concrete, allow the column to stand for 10 days.
