Specifications
All columns are reinforced with 4 bars of re-bar and depending on the length
and thickness of shaft, Y8 or Y10 are used. Should you require any special reinforcing
detail, we would be more that happy to discuss it with your engineers.

Installation of columns
We assume that the correct foundations have been prepared and all outside factors taken in.
Steel rods should be cast into the foundation and positioned so as to pass through the hole in
the precast base. (The base must be lifted should both a screed & tiling be required at a later stage).
A mixture of 1 part cement, ½ part tile adhesive & 2 parts crusher sand by volume is used to seat
the base. The hole in the base must not be filled. Wait 24 hours before placing the shaft in position.

Shaft First fill base hole with a strong concrete mix, place the shaft on top of the base with the re-bars
of the shaft passing into the base. The shaft at this stage must be plumbed, wedged, supported and
left to stand for 24 hours. Then cast the cap in position with the rebar passing through the hole and fill
with concrete, allow the column to stand for 10 days.
