What this detail covers
- A typical reinforcement arrangement where a point load bears on the wall line.
- Keeping the load centred and distributing it into the structure as designed.
Key steps
- Confirm the point load location (centre line) from the engineer’s drawings.
- Install the specified reinforcement timber/pack as shown.
- Fit any OSB cover strip/backing required and fix to schedule.
Checks
- Reinforcement is centred to the load line.
- Fixings are installed as specified (type/spacing/edge distances).
Common mistakes
- Guessing load locations on site instead of following the engineered set-out.
- Missing reinforcement pieces and relying on linings to “stiffen” the area.
Indicative only: always follow the engineer’s fixing schedule and the project drawings.
