Why this pipe is under the steel mesh?
Any thoughts. Why this pipe is still under the mesh . This is for the drainage from shower @downstairs powder room. i am concern if they cut it too short.
Waiting for the engineering for the slab to completed. In a meantime noticed the deterioration of foundation condition due to the weight of steel re inforcement. The mesh is bending /sagging at the edges and boundaries.
This is a pipe which was abutting to the slab has now been fixed. Thanks to the supervisor and my building inspector David seville. |
Some of the bending and sagging issue noted by supervisor and supported until the ready to concrete. |
This is the place from where PD has removed the drainage from alfresco but left the vapour barrier open and damaged. Supposed to be covered or taped. |
If looked at the top right hand corner , the steel mesh has bended downwards. |
Steel mesh sagging at a different place. |
support chair sinking in to the waffle pod due to the weight of steel mesh. As a result there will be less concrete between the mesh and waffle pod. |
Another sagging issue. |
This is a garage. on the top where the timber barriers are the whole mesh is bending downwards. |
After building inspector raised it as issued. PD wrapped the drainage pipes but some how the wrapping is short lived and required attention. |

2nd week of progress
It was great to see the progress on the site. The site cut completed and concrete piers are poured.
There are 30 piers in total. I suppose this is due to the cut and fill done on the slope.
