Metricon Cedar 32 - Base Stage

Construction on our Cedar 32 commenced on 10 September 2012 with all excavation work, underground stormwater and plumbing pipework, concrete piers and slab being completed by 17 September 2012, thus meeting the first milestone commonly referred to as the "Base Stage".

Site Excavation Works
Site excavation works included scraping or cutting excess soil from the high side of the block and using this material to fill the low side of the block.  No additional fill was required as a result and only one load of unsuitable material was removed from site at additional cost.

Ready for Concrete Pour
Concrete piers have been completed and "waffle pods" with reinforced mesh have been installed in preparation for the concrete pour.  All stormwater and plumbing pipework has also been completed.

Base Stage Completed

Concrete pour has been completed and smoothed off as required.  Rebate around the edge of the slab is for the brickwork.  Quick set concrete was used, which did not require extensive curing time, although there was a 3-week delay in the delivery of steel frames.
