Groundworks - DPC
Once the the footings have been poured and set it is time to layout
and start the damp proof course. We laid the corners and shot them
with a level to make sure all the walls were level.
We are using a dense 7N concrete block and a red engineering brick.
We are leaving a 75mm gap that will be approximately 3/4 filled
with a very strong concrete mix.
We have 600mm concrete lintels to go over where the underground
drainage will be.
Prior to pouring the slab we are putting a strong cement mixture
between the courses. This adds strength and keeps the inner course
from getting pushed over by the weight of the slab.
