Pipework laid by plumbers

Tuesday 22 April 2014

When I drove by the site on the way home from work today there was evidence that the plumbers had been on site today to lay the pipework for the water and sewerage connections.

There were also 2 mountains of Polystyrene foam blocks delivered and stacked on site for forthcoming use with the foundation work when the cement slab is laid.  The Polystrene blocks are materials commonly used for building single level and multi-level house walls and retaining walls, void formers for concrete slabs and hydronic underfloor insulation for heating and cooling purposes.  This material is apparently environmentally friendly, recyclable and highly energy efficient.  In our case, it's primarily being used to fill the void spaces beneath our concrete slab (which, hopefully, is scheduled to be laid down next Monday, 28 April 2014).

Here's a photo of the site taken this afternoon that shows the status of the pipework completed today by the plumbers and one of the two mountains of Polystyrene foam blocks that were delivered to the site today.
