Retaining Walls And Counterforts For Pool And Deck Structure -- ANAND Enterprises Project CreB1J1301

.
In my last post on this project I had presented a report:

Excavation For Footings For Pool And Deck Structure -- ANAND Enterprises Project CreB1J1301

http://energyefficientbuild.blogspot.com/2014/04/excavation-for-footings-for-pool-and.html

I visited the project site today to look at the reinforced concrete wall and counterforts supporting the pool at the back of the house and the deck overlooking the golf course. The heel slab with the shear key for the retaining wall had been poured earlier. On today's field visit I saw that the concrete had been placed in the retaining walls and the counterforts. The form is still up -- good looking job done in a workman like manner -- impressive indeed.

Excavation For Footings For Pool And Deck Structure -- ANAND Enterprises Project CreB1J1301

.
I was at the job site this morning -- the excavation crew was hard at work preparing the base for the heel slab and the key-way for the retaining wall which makes a major portion of the support system for the pool  that would be accessible from the patio at the back of the house and the deck that overlooks the Golf Course below












I talked to Andy, Jim and Roberto at the job site and Andy mentioned the plans are to complete the excavation and installation of the rebars for the heel slab by tomorrow and place concrete in the heel slab on Friday, Apr-11-2014
