Have a nice day, dear customers of the construction company BK Marvyk. Since you have come to this page, you need to fill the foundation. You have already taken the first step on the right path, namely, you visited us, found the best contractors for monolithic works in Kyiv. There are a huge number of types of foundations, and each building needs its own type of foundation. Today we will understand step by step the pouring of the foundation in Kyiv, so that you can independently control the entire work process of the brigade that will work on your site.
First, you must understand what kind of foundation you need. It depends on the building itself. You must understand whether you need a garage or a basement, how many floors will be built and what is the weight of the structure.
It is also necessary to understand what kind of soil, how high ground water is. And based on these parameters, you need to decide what kind of foundation you need.
Types of foundations
• Slab foundation (mainly used for large buildings made of brick, building blocks, and large timber). The advantage of this foundation is that it does not need a clear understanding of the soil, it withstands these errors. But there is also a small minus, this is the use of heavy construction equipment.
• Piled foundation, which is well suited for loose types of soil such as clay and sand. Also, a pile foundation in Kiev helps in construction on uneven areas. The attraction of special equipment for pouring the foundation is also not a big minus.
• Another technology of erecting a pillar foundation. The main feature is the low price of pouring the foundation. But such a foundation is suitable only for light households. Buildings and light fast-erecting ones have been completed.(//tractor-service.com)
• Tape foundation is the most in-demand technology today. It is cast on reinforcements and one monolithic structure is obtained. The house will stand for many years if all the tape foundation filling technologies are followed.
After you have decided on the place and type of foundation in Kyiv, let's start marking. For this, you will need a rope and pegs. We also mark with parallel lines the width of the foundation of 40-50 centimeters if it is a strip foundation or we make markings for another type of foundation. And now we dig a trench or pit, depending on the type of foundation, from 50 cm to one and a half meters, clearly observing the markings.
Now it is necessary to install the formwork from shields or individual panels. We connect in such a way that there are no gaps and irregularities. Next, we fasten the shields together with timber and self-tapping screws so that when pouring the foundation, the formwork does not break through and the concrete does not escape.
The next step is to protect the shields with a film. And we insert reinforcement from bonded rebar with a thickness of 8-16 mm inside for reinforcing the foundation with rebar. And only then do we cover the pillow with sandpaper and make the second one with gravel. The thickness of this layer should be about 20-30 centimeters under the concrete before pouring the foundation so that the concrete rests on the pillow.
Now all that remains is to correctly calculate the volume of concrete for accurate pouring of the foundation and order it. Since it is not convenient when pouring foundations of the entire volume at the same time and there will be problems with cracking in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to order concrete in concrete mixers and mixers imported from the factory in order to pour the foundation in one go and as a whole structure.
