Masonry to steel ties

[Ay8452]

Hi guys,

 

 

 

My engineer has specified wall ties for a steel column (C4.1) in his drawings attached. He has specified wall ties from this column to the inner skin (which we've done) and from this column to the outer skin also (which we haven't done by mistake). So there are no ties from the external skin block work to the steel in this section only. There are wall ties in the rest of the cavity wall (inner/outer leaf) as specified. C4.1 is about 300mm wide and 100mm deep.

 

 

 

We haven't built the next storey up (highlighted green) and will make sure correct ties are used when we do.

 

 

 

Is this a major structural issue? Have messaged my engineer and am awaiting a response. Anyone with more experience care to share their thoughts to hopefully ease my nerves. Glazing not currently fitted - so can access the cavity from the side. Could I get some sort of straps to ties to fix from the side?

 

 

 

Thanks!
