So we're back, right? Installer says today, so this is the way we've left it. And Friday afternoon we're going to start laying out the DPC. There's a couple ways you can do the PC, but I'm going to show you one of them here today. So we'd PC installed over the top of the concrete we've got. Remember, we've got a slight outward fall on the motor bed that we've done on Saturday morning. Now we're cutting the end of the DPC. I like to call it tight right up into the corner. I don't like it to come around the top or fold out over the sale. We're going to make as big a catchment area as we can just to protect against any moisture getting down the wrong side of this. PC So there's a 1700 white cells, so we're just going to mark the center lane 850. So this up stand on the sale, we just want to drop it 10 mil back from the face of the outside leaf of insulation just for your window to sit flush against the reveal on the outside. So I'm going to tap that back. That's a good tight fit. So you can see now the city is in, we're going to pack this out with insulation. I'm going to keep the deep C as wide as possible. You can also see you've got your upstands on your passive sill and it's going to add extra protections or any moisture is trying to get in here, has to be forced all the way back out and make its way out of the building. So now you can see I've got the DPC coming up the inside of the inner leaf of insulation and that's going to be fixed and held in place with a two by two button and that's going to be fixed to the inside of the ACF. And then this is going to take the fix in for your window board. So that's going to support your window board in the inside. On this area in here is all we packed out with EPS insulation or PA or whatever you have to hand. And just below the window so you can see the excess D PC. We're going to tidy that up afterwards, so just leave it in place for now. And here we go once again, there's 450 wide window opener. I'm just going to stick it in. You have a nice top in. Sam, another site. Get a 10m bike. I'm outside. And that's it. And Tate. And there we have another three ready for sale. And the DPC will use is 18 inch. Then just for the final check, just checking the bubble should be level. And you can see in the inside, the insulation is usually level with the top of the cell. Not so finished, already here today.

When excavating tunnels using the EPB TBM in the city environment and especially in the clay geology, proper soil conditioning foaming agent is a must and should not be under evaluated. Securing the proper EPB mode with a stable foam and reducing the risk of clogging is highly important. MasterRoc SLF 543 is a high-performance foaming agent specially designed to improve the performance and control of silt to sandy soils with clay and clogging issues. It has an improved foam stability and is based on biodegradable raw materials. Improved foam properties are crucial in ensuring proper control of the earth pressure, reducing the risk of additional settlement at the surface. The special selected anti-clogging polymer effectively reduces the clogging and adhesion potential of clay-containing soils on the TBM. #masterbuilderssolutions #epbtbm #tbm #anticlogging #tunnelling #masterroc

Class is in session – use class, that is! When it comes to timber, one size doesn't fit all – treatment processes must be tailored to the timber component's end use. True or false? Fence posts and fence panels have different use classes. Let us know below. #TimberTreatment #TimberProtection #KoppersPerformance

Gravel roofs like this one in San Bernardino County are the most difficult to find and patch roof leaks. WeatherWeld makes challenging roofs like this one simple and easy by vacuuming off loose gravel and then applying WeatherWeld over the remaining gravel layer. Now this school will never have to worry about roof leaks in this building again.
