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.
