conservatory foundations

Conservatory foundations excavated. The foundations have been excavated, the average depth is 1.5metres. There is quite a bit of drainage to alter at the front of the conservatory and a pipe to bridge over at the side, as can be seen in the photo. There will be a new kitchen fitted, so we have to provide drainage for the new sink and dishwasher positions at this stage.

The ground is fairly solid and shouldn’t be too susceptible to collapse, but we want to get the footings filled with concrete as soon as possible. Access on this site is a bit tricky, so it’s been a hand dig and the concrete will be mixed on site rather than readymix.
