It is all happening! We arrived at 11.00am as requested by our SS and met the team drilling the piers. The Water Board had already inspected the drilling in the zone of influence at the rear and the concreter then arrived. We measured the pier depth and it came in at 78 metres - this was 28 metres over our 50metre allowance. Pier holes ranged from 1.2m to 1.7m but we were more than happy to pay the extra as this gives a very solid base for the slab.
The Engineer then arrived to check the piers as well and then the piers were filled with concrete. It was all finished by 2.00pm and then it started to rain lightly.
Piering completed
Our SS also arrived to check on the progess and discuss the next steps which will be the plumbing and forming up for the slab. Hopefully the weather will clear to allow this all to happen tomorrow.
