An english garden bond wall with piers and a plinth course constructed in penarth for C view landscapes. A number of trades were working on the job including my self another brick layer, two banker stonemasons carving the capps and copings, one bricklayers mate and a masons mate. An engineer was also permanantly on site as there was a new buils occuring on site. The wall was constructed in engineering brick and laid in black mortar. It was finshed with bathstone capps and copings. The wall consisted of 7 brick pillars and one bathsone. This meant that five panels were tied into the pilars and one opening made. the wall was 215mm thick in the panels and 440mm thick pillars and a 327.5 mm plinth course. The final three courses of the wall were curved to suit the profiled copings. The footing for the wall were already pre poured and an engineer had set out the lines beforhand. The wall was acid cleaned and jet washed once cured. The pavement was then reinstated. all waste was disposed of in accordance with the companies health and safety policy in the correct skips. The site was secured by heras fencing and a lockable container was on site for tools and materials.  A petrol disc cutter was used to cut the bricks where necessary. the bricks were stacked out using a brick grab. the grab was used in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and using the correct manual handling techniques in accordance with the regulations. PPE used for task was, high vis vest, impact goggles, glasses, reinforced boots, hard hat and gloves.
To ensure a high standard of work there was constant communication with my employer and the client.
