Formwork for ground beamsI checked carefully to ensure that there was sufficient space between the reinforcement and the wooden formwork. Some adjustment was necessary. If the steel dosent have a concrete cover (of sufficent thickness) then it will be exposed to the atmosphere and will corrode. At best this will show as a dirty brown mark on the exterior of the structure and at worst, over time could cause structural failure.chiymanJan 18, 2011

Footings poured and concrete pipes cropped to the correct level for further constuction and attachment of the ground beams. This method saved a lot of time.chiymanDec 27, 2010
