Precast and backfill in pictures


The plank is set in place by the crane and positioned manually.  The joints between the planks are filled with grout to lock them in place.  The gray tube is a foam rod to prevent the grout from leaking through to the basement.  The round dots at the bottom between the holes are the tension cables.  

The stairwell is formed by installing a hanger to hold the end of a shorter precast concrete plank.

We have backfilled as far as we can before we finish the concrete floor.  The Spiderlath around the basement egress window will show in the window well and be in the same plane as the wall above it.

We laid out the wall and cabinet locations, and tied the radiant floor system to the wire grid.  We will pour a 3" concrete cap over the precast to encapsulate the radiant floor piping.
