vala Posted Wednesday at 14:54 Posted Wednesday at 14:54 In the build up to having a new structural slab installed the existing slab has had to be broken up. The groundsworkers have gone to town with the use of their breaker and created a bit of a mess here on a single storey block wall. Had my builder round today who wasn't impressed at all, but whilst I wait for the structural engineer to visit (hopefully tomorrow) I was looking for advice if anyone has in order to rectify. 1 suggestion me and the builder made today was put needles through at intervals, and prop using mini acrows. Most likely need to create a solid foundation for the acrows. Then remove all the earth and old slab, before digging a new footing underneath and building up with bricks/blocks for this wall to sit on. Any other suggestions welcome whilst I sit and worry a bit about this stage!
Mr Punter Posted Wednesday at 15:48 Posted Wednesday at 15:48 SE was a good plan. What is the wall supporting? Hopefully you will be able to add a decent amount of insulation under or on top of the new slab.
vala Posted Wednesday at 16:00 Author Posted Wednesday at 16:00 It's a single storey block wall and the long part I believe has been created for the staircase stringers to fix into. The short section has a small RSJ coming off it to the external wall. Looks like this is to provide support for the timber joists. Above both sections, is a simple stud wall diving the bathroom/landing and bathroom/bedroom. Got 200mm PIR going on top of the sand. 1
