Shutting
New contract started 9th December 2015:
3 vehicle accesses on to a new housing estate. Because vehicles have to cross a dyke there needs to have a culvert built, this is 2 head walls either side of the new access, built with concrete and reinforcement bars.
Day 1 after Highway approval, (as this is part of a S278) set up site as the norm
Day 2 As we are in a dyke, we have a water problem, best solution is when excavating, use the material to dam up the dyke. Pump the rest out.
Day 3 Road Entrance 1, Base of the first Head wall 6m x 3m (it is 2.4m below road level) knock some pegs in the soil base and concrete with lean mix, concrete about 50mm thick. This will be for the steel fixers to work on.
Day 4 Put together the steel bars, using plan and bar schedule. Fairly easy to read, example H16/02/39/3760 this is 16mm bar / 02 on plan / 39 bar / 3.760 lengths. Read with plan.
