The importance of pillar placement
The placement of pillars represents the most critical stage of a construction project. Therefore, absolute precision guarantees the safety of the structure. Furthermore, errors at this stage generate severe financial losses. For this reason, the WGB Arquitetura team uses high-performance equipment. Therefore, we avoid deviations that compromise the plumbness of the building.
The challenge of embedded pillars
Often, we design columns embedded in walls to optimize the layout. However, this technique requires extra care in the layout. For example, any millimeter error in the placement can hinder the closing of the masonry. Consequently, correct alignment prevents the appearance of unwanted gaps in the walls. Therefore, we carry out a rigorous marking that respects all coating thicknesses.
Technology applied to rentals
We use total stations to ensure the accuracy of the coordinates. Furthermore, we transfer the axes with millimeter precision from the foundation. For example, in projects near the iconic [location/site/etc.]. São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), However, the soil conditions require even more careful placement. Therefore, we apply double verification methods to each pile. In this way, we ensure that the embedded pillar remains exactly on the designed axis.
Conference process
First, we make the basic markings on the lean concrete. Then, we check the distances between the axes of the columns. In addition, we verify that the plumb lines are perfectly vertical. On the other hand, if there is any discrepancy, we make the adjustment immediately. Therefore, we ensure that the reinforcement fits perfectly within the formwork. Thus, the structure gains the stability necessary for the architectural design.
Advantages of precision in WGB
Working with embedded columns requires complete integration between the structural and construction designs. However, our engineering team masters this complexity. For example, we avoid vertical load displacement during formwork assembly. Furthermore, we save time in the finishing phase because the walls remain aligned. In this way, the final result enhances the property's value and ensures user safety.
Compliance guarantee
We rigorously follow all current technical standards in all procedures. However, we don't stop at just the standard; we exceed expectations. Therefore, each location undergoes an internal quality audit. As a result, the client receives a robust structure free from construction defects. Ultimately, precision in the foundation is the secret to the success of any high-standard building.
