Lanzarote builders Playa Blanca Update
May 20th, 2008
Today we are pouring the final concrete for the completion of the basement walls for the second villa. We will also pour all the supporting columns for the first storey. The technical control and quality control technicians visited the site this morning and gave us the ok to pour the concrete.
We have started to backfill the supporting walls. These were first damp-proofed with pitch paint and a special plastic membrane to keep out the water.
The majority of work is now completed on both of these basements. All the shuttering and cardboard columns have been removed and the concrete floor had been laid. We are now preparing the ramp down to the underground car park.
I am pleased with our progress so far, everything has gone smoothly and we are on schedule.
Playa blanca build starts to take shape
May 11th, 2008
Things are starting to take shape.
We have finished the foundations on the second villa. The concrete has been poured, levelled and then vibrated to take out any air bubbles.
60 cubic metres of concrete have gone into the foundations, 8 lorry loads.
The last section of the basement walls have been poured along with the pillars and columns.
We use a cardboard shuttering for the columns which is removed after 24 hours.
The basement walls on the first villa are completed and we are moving the shuttering to the second site.
Playa Blanca construction update
May 4th, 2008
The concrete lorry and concrete pump have arrived to start the first section of wall for the basement. We have started with a twenty six metre section of shuttering. The panels are painted with a product to stop them sticking to the cement. The site has been inspected by Applus the technical control company for the seguro decenal and the quality control have taken the concrete samples they need.
We have now removed the shuttering ready for the next section of wall.
The block work and steel are now finished for the second villa. The concrete will be poured early next week next after the electrician has soldered the copper wire for the earth.
