1. The site of
the proposed conservatory.
2. Construction
work begins. The ground is excavated to a minimum of
450mm deep for the footings. Excavation exposes an
underground drainage pipe in this example.
3. Additional
steel mesh reinforcement is introduced to the concrete
foundation to prevent the drainage pipe being crushed.
Another alternative sometimes favoured instead of steel
mesh is to insert concrete lintels above the drain in
order to bridge it .
4. Concrete is
poured into the trench to form the foundations. The
concrete is a minimum of 150mm thick.
