Foundations

Start April 2024

Status: in progress

After months of careful planning, the site is primed and ready for the first pour. Standing on the edge of the site it's easy to look at the footprint and imagine the shape of the building to come. Engineers and builders are waiting for the arrival of the steel and concrete. This is an exciting time and a few months from now this area will transform as the first new homes are built. Before the big pour, however, there are a few task to complete.

This milestone includes

Soil Testing

Start July 2022Expected to end July 2022

In accordance with UK Law, the team will make sure the soil meets UK standards and is free from toxins.

Site Levelling

Start July 2022Expected to end July 2022

Using sophisticated equipment, the engineers will ensure all measurements are accurate. In particular, the heights must be correct in relation to each other.

Site Clearing

Start July 2022Expected to end July 2022

Removing any unwanted debris.

Foundations

Digging holes and pouring foundations involves excavating to the required depth, ensuring stability, and setting formwork. Concrete is then poured into the prepared space, leveled, and left to cure for a strong, stable base.

Concrete Groundfloor Slabs

Reinforced by steel, this poured concrete layer will be between 100 and 500mm thick.

First column pour

Only when everything is in place will the team pour the first column of concrete. With solid ground beneath their feet, the Barne Barton Team is now ready for stage two: The Envelope.
