Latest Project - Building in tricky positions

Building a 300 x 300 x 1500 concrete column sounds like a straightforward job for any builder. So why call Up and Under?  

Foundation cast on top of blinding concrete with formwork in place for the column

Well this particular column is in a cave - designed to support the roof - at the bottom of a 20m cliff, in a beauty spot.

The concrete column, injection pointed to the roof

All the materials had to be transported along a narrow track, concrete had to be mixed and lowered down the cliff face before being poured into the formwork.  When the shutters were struck the column was faced with locally sourced stone.

Gritting Lorries Out In July !

Nice weather creates unusual UK problems.

Gritting lorries out in July!

Yes; it has been reported that gritting lorries have been seen in Hampshire.

This continued hot weather is resulting in some road surfaces melting, leaving a sticky top to the carriageway.

Hampshire County Council is combating this by spreading a mixture of stone chips and dust in an attempt to seal and embed the bitumen.
