Footings begin

With conditions good and the soil bearing and sulphate test complete the crew can start the footing formwork. The soil bearing test advised increasing the width of the perimeter footing and adding additional rebar.  The sulphate test showed negligible amounts, thus 20 MPA type 10 concrete is a permitted use.  In the presence of sulphate, a more costly concrete blend would be necessary.

The footing crew is off to a quick start on the job.  The pour is scheduled for tomorrow.
