Below, are additional photos of ongoing construction at the site of the beachfront residence I designed. A few notes on the photos...
- A photo included shows the raised terrace, at the rear of the house, formed up prior to pouring the concrete.
- Additional photos show the terrace poured, and the steps leading up to it have been formed for a future pour.
- You'll notice there are various drops formed into the slab to control run-off... which is directed via subtle sloping of the slab surface at various places.
- An elevator pit is visible, which includes a short stem wall at 3 sides flush with the elevated portion of slab located under the future Entry Vestibule. The stems walls are where the elevator shaft's sill plates will sit once framing begins.
- One of the photos is directed towards the tops of the concrete pilings. You'll notice there are steel "saddles" installed on a number of the pilings so far. These are custom fabricated per the project Engineer's specifications. The saddles tie the concrete pilings to the wood stringers. (The stringers will be installed in the near future and I'll be sure to post photos once they are installed.)
- Notice the pairs of metal "hooks" located at the rear side of the concrete pilings. These are installed by the manufacturer during the off-site fabrication. They serve no function with respect to structural integrity, but are used for loading and off-loading during transport of the pilings to site.
