WALLING

Activities include; 

  • ❖ Demolition 

  • ❖ Excavation/Walls and cracks demolitions 

  • ❖ Blinding 

  • ❖ Pad bases 

  • ❖ Columns erection 

  • ❖ Shuttering 

  • ❖ Casting of the columns 

  • ❖ Wall erection 

  • ❖ Lintel 

  • ❖ Mending of the minor cracks 

The walls of those buildings generally were renovated in different categories due to the fact that it was not reinforced with lintel all-round the building and at the petitions. The project was started to make the storm-blown rooms’ habitable again. Generally walling was poorly done and therefore we had to professionally demolish the whole right side of the wall as well as the roof.

Excavation/Walls and cracks demolitions 

A 700x700mm pad was excavated to hold bases for the columns up to a standard depth that could well hold the bearing weight of the structure (1500mm). Moved murram was then compacted on the pads before blinding.
