Pier blocks serve as a transition from the posts supporting the girder to the concrete foundation footings. |
The foundation was a dusty, difficult process with days of labor laying out the footings, then building forms for the concrete. |
Foundations consist of spread footings under columns and interior shear walls. |
Once it is at its destination, the assembly process begins with the alignment of a set of footings, which do not require deep foundations. |
This process starts with engineered three-dimensional concrete walls joined to footings with rebar. |
By June, we had the land cleared and the concrete footings and block walls done. |
