Yes the SE did specify it to be cast in situ and yes it carries the steel column that supports the centre of the steel ridge beam . It's onto a stone wall . I will give him a call and see if I could use premade instead .
I am concerned about the strength of a cast in situ job
Hi all. I have to cast a padstone with reinforcing onto a stone wall top to carry a steel column which supports the centre of my ridge steel.
The pad is specified as 300x300x1000.
What mix ratio should I use and do I add anything to protect the steel.
