What this detail covers
- Setting a column on a concrete base (to SSL) with non-shrinking grout.
- Using fixings to the engineer’s specification.
Key steps
- Confirm base level/position to the setting-out and SSL.
- Install fixings/anchors per the engineer’s spec.
- Bed the base plate using non-shrinking grout as shown and re-check plumb.
Checks
- Column is plumb and at the correct finished level.
- Fixings match the engineer’s spec (type, embedment, torque).
- Grout fully bears the plate (no voids).
Common mistakes
- Packing without a proper bearing/grout line.
- Fixings installed off-set from the specified setting-out.
Indicative only: always follow the engineer’s fixing schedule and the project drawings.
