New School Foundations
Cambridge
Groundworks for a new classroom block beside a newly built primary school in Cambridge: setting out, topsoil strip, reduced-level dig and a full grid of pad foundations, with muck-away running to keep the programme moving. This page is a running diary — we add to it as the job moves on.
The full grid of pad and trench foundations went in to the set-out lines, with the evening muck-away wagon clearing spoil as the dig finished.
Setting out in red paint, topsoil strip and the reduced-level dig cut to a clean rectangular formation, ready for the foundation grid.
