Tools : H-frame scaffolds system and accessories, Portable electric drill


(variable speed), Portable electric planer, Circular saw/jig saw with vacuum
with vacuum
Steps/Procedure:
1. Clean and clear they are
2. Prepare all the require materials , tools and equipment
3. In order to build a rigid form, you have to use 2×10 wooden
boards and to secure them with 2×4 braces
4. The concrete will exert a great force towards the wooden form,
therefore you have to secure it with strong braces. In addition,
make sure there are no visible gaps between the wooden boards, as
the concrete juice might leak through them
5. Building the form for your house foundation is an ideal opportunity
to install the polystyrene sheet insulation. Therefore, study the local
codes and choose the sheets which satisfy both your needs and
comply with the local code. Use a handsaw to cut the sheets,
whenever you need to adjust their dimensions. Work with great care
and follow the house plans.
6. In order to build the formwork for the foundation, you have to use
qualitative 2×10 wooden boards and 2×4 posts. Consequently, you
have to read the foundation plans, to see the height of the
foundation elevation from the ground. Next you have to build the
formwork
7. In order to secure the formwork, you have to install braces over
the pegs. Consequently, at one end you should fasten the braces
to the pegs, with screws/nails, while at the other end you have to
fit it into ground for at least 1’/30 cm.
8. Next, after you have installed the formwork, you should verify if it
is rigid and secured properly with braces. In addition, you could
fasten the interior formwork to the exterior formwork, by installing
2×4 lumber every 2′,
9. You should be able to notice that the rebar beams are aligned
properly, and that the formwork is plumb and rigid, due to the
braces and pegs we have previously installed.
10. After you have checked the rigidity of the foundation formwork
and made sure it is aligned and plumb, you have to pour in
concrete
