are walls reinforced?

 

 

  • reinforcing is designed according to the requirements of the structure and specified by a Professional Engineer depending on soil conditions i.e. Clay, expanding soils, collapsing soils, dolomite etc.  Also taking into account if the structure would be subjected to earth tremors, quakes or hurricanes.

  • as the structure is constructed in a homogenous way with reinforcing placed in strategic positions, the building is more resistant to seismic movement. 

  •  electrical and water piping is located onto the formwork and cast in situ.
