hi guys and welcome back to SITENG in today's video i'm going to show you the capping beam
and you're going to find out how to construct the capping step by step
as you can see works carries on it's very busy now all capping beam is finished but i'm going
gonna show you as I said step by step all the works to captain beam construction so let's go
guys so this is first step when doing the cupping beam after the pilings finished we
actually after seven days you can start uh uncovering the pies but this this we're waiting
here much longer anyway so you see i got the laser here it's actually part of the beam already done
but uh it doesn't really matter you're gonna be doing the same steps so first we're getting to
the to the dig level which is uh i set this this case 75 mil below the blinding level and yeah
we're going to be cropping the pulse i'm going to show you this later and uh of course after
this we have to test the piloting credit integrity testing and uh i'm going to show you step by step
anyway yeah so but this is step number one i would say but before this i'm going to show you what I
what i do and this is a very good practice if you do this as well on site uh just give me a second
so you can see there on that hoarding i mark the grid lines a d a c a b as they go and i actually
might on the holding in the stab institute if i step in the soffit of the beam i'll make a
small table there as well and uh i make on the horning i put the nails there as well for the
for the dig level two meters and on that table i got everything so whoever comes he could actually
use it but it is good for yourself as well and the grid line is very important you just
you know where you are where you're pouring where you're digging even from from from far
so yeah that would i would start from this let's say that would be like coordination of
your side really as well that's very useful that's going to be very useful for you
and yeah that's it yeah let's go to the next step just to quickly show you i just uh set a level
for the uh the cut off level actually that guy's going to be cropping first using this machine here
and it goes to the dumper goes away on the lorry and that's how it works yeah so all them piles are
going to be cropped first and then they're going to be cut with a with a blade to the
proper level and then broken and down in the middle as you cannot go too deep with a blade
but you could uh actually cut the steel so yeah that's how it works
next stage uh probably gonna be pile testing and blinding and i'll show you everything
okay i show this
so the next step guys uh it's the blinding you can see the laser on the
back and you can see the grid lines as well as as i showed you before
so the laser is set and the blinding gonna be our legs level this is maybe not the best uh picture
showing the blinding as the finish uh will be better before you start uh marking the lines
but that's it so that's the blinding and then we're gonna do the lines so on this
picture you can actually see the one of the healthy nails i'm using the concrete nails
when marking the lines as uh using the spray you can you can lose your line when it's raining but
the nail is gonna stay always so you can you can redo your line you can do it again
and the guys can use it they know where the line is so you can see the line is marked there and as
fixers using it to fix their steel to the line and that's going to be line for the chip is for
the shutter you see on this picture there's a shutter set to the line and yeah that'll
be all for the for the marking the lines on the blinding so the next step in cupping beam i was
just marking the level you see the starter bars there for the slop so i was marking the soffit i
don't know if you can see here using the tip-ex the white mark that's the soffit of the slab
and then yeah the next thing i'm just going to do the pre-inspection i'm going to go with you
around the beam and i'll show you but all the rest we're going to i'm going to show you uh in the
construction drawing series uh the draw the video corresponding this one so you can see the still
here the columns here i marked the center of the columns that's what let's uh want it these guys
you can see that's a lightning protection cable that's the connection here let me show you now
two clamps connecting the cable and i actually do it myself i want to make sure this is done right
obviously if i got time for it but i'll try to do these things myself
and then yeah that's another one i just
tied it into the rebar so you're gonna see the detail on the construction drawing video covering
the captain beam and yeah so that's another thing you need to remember when doing the capping beam
so this is guys after inspection client is happy with the steel i'm happy too
we pour in the concrete we got concrete which is already slammed now and it's quite alright
okay fixtures are working here that's my line
i marked the back line to be safe in front really but i'm checking the front as well
in and out in and out
okay next bucket oh be coming of my starter bars that's what sometimes happen as well you just
someone can move the column and that's the problem later
oh we got a good driver here and he's watching
you see guys are putting now in the beam uh just the shoes for the barriers
this one is empty now the driver is cleaning his i'll show you now yeah he's shoot
this water is not going into the beam you have to get rid of it and then we're waiting for the
next lorry and carry on so on and on so that's how the that's how the works with captain beam
looking really so just as a summary you see the beam is full we got a nice finish here
uh we got something like this that gonna be watched later just to uncover maybe the aggregate
just when connecting with the slab later but that's going to be other contractor you see the
castings here that's going to be taken out bank and we're going to put the barriers like that
inside i just quickly show you this so the barriers here can be saved and after seven days
i'm going to show you the results for the cubes and we can start digging here for the basement
so that would be all for the cupping beam meme see you on the next video
