why a 4" grinder, we use the TS 410 for all thickness of paving including the 20mm sawn

Posted: **Sat Nov 08, 2014 10:21 pm**

Mainly because I didn't have to use a big disc cutter mick. The little grider did the job without me getting back ache bent over cutting the flags on a pallet all day.

Also with the thin blade on the grinder I managed to cut a line good enough so that I could use the off cuts without trimming them

start to housing job 6 house we doing all groundwork
Van Ellle did all piling and precast units

pile caps

pre-cast beams craned in 6 houses in 1 day 80t crane 6 lorry loads
i personalyl dont like the system as it need soil excavating 800mm below top of beam 600mm wider than the beams has made a lot of back fill issues around out side,but 6 house done pilled and beamed in 3weeks

steel cables hold it all togher and are tensioned by hydraulic device

finished tensioned footings,but you can see size of eccavation 150mm beam and block and 170 screed and insulation so its along way down

quality work mark

is the ground that bad round your way they have to raft garages?

also surprised to see groundwater running out of chalk,normally chalk is permeable

excellent stuff all the same
