A break in the weather again has allowed for a couple more layers of ecological wall cells to be installed. Progress is slower, not only with the weather, but also the fact that the horizontal area of installation of cells in now much greater, nearly at the longest span. Excavation…
More bad weather has slowed work again and the problem of working on the side of a hill can be seen in the photos below, where you can see the soil has slipped in the rain. Not much progress on the ecological walls.
The ecological walls are now about fifty percent complete. The photo on the left shows where the top half of the wall will be set back a little in one corner, where the solar panels will be situated.
With some break in the unusually bad weather on the Costa del Sol, work continues on the ecological walls.
Excavations have now reached the ground floor level and marked out. The marking out represents the basement, which will be excavated further. Those excavations will be used to both backfill the ecological walls and also used for rocks in the gabion walls. The first ecological wall cells have now been…
Further work on the ecological walls, with the different levels for the bottom cells evident.
More bad weather has prevented too much progress this week, as the excavation and ecological walls continue.
One of the other key design changes that we have agreed with the construction company is the installation of ecological walls at the south perimeter of the plot. This system is used to retain the earth at quite steep angles, whilst also providing a structure for plants to be grown…
More earthworks this week, but it is all a little slow with significant number of storms in the Malaga area (albeit you wouldn’t be able to tell from these photos!). It has made getting up and down the bare earth path impossible for heavy machinery.
Good progress of earthworks which is now around half way to the basement slab level. A temporary brace is installed between the rear and east pile walls, during construction. The project manager, architect and developer have been discussing the possibility of installing gabion walls, instead of concrete rendered walls, which…
