I have written about new techniques we employed in this project here and there. I thought it would be a good idea to list those out in one place.
- Concreting done here is almost Self Compacting Concrete. It is low in porosity and high in density. It has strength of almost M35-40. It also has enhanced flexural strength.
- Plastering is done with constant water cement ratio, with added plasticizer. Composition is machine mixed concrete, resulting in very even distribution of all components of the plaster.
- Block work is done with Masonry Bonding Mortar. This results in high-strength bond between the blocks. We need less than 5mm of bonding material between the blocks resulting in consistent lines.
- Blocks reinforced at sill level with 10mm bars. This is done by making grooves in blocks so that it doesn't impact the height of the masonry.
- Window cladding done with black granite. Corner joints of granite done with special grooving so that each stone supports the other creating a long lasting joint.
- Cantilever parapet to protect walls from rain streaks.
- Wooden door frame members notched and joined with araldite adhesive.
