Case Study

BMW Kitchener

Before we start a project, our boss will go over the site with the guys, so that everyone is on the same page. This allows us to do everything right and it also allows the work to be completed as effectively as possible. In, this picture, Albert (our boss) is explaining how the grading must work for the interlock/turf area which will be a showcase for the cars when completed. 

After heights were all figured out, we worked on creating a solid base for the interlock, protecting it from shifting. We allow for small lifts of gravel that get compacted with a plate tamper to reach our 98% compaction which gives you your base. From there we do a final bedding layer which allows us to lay the bricks on a smoother surface. Here he is setting the bars to allow for a consistent slope along the interlock, and also the bedding layer is being pulled by a board (also known as screeding) along the two adjacent pipes.After heights were all figured out, we worked on creating a solid base for the interlock, protecting it from shifting.

At the beginning of the process we had setup our string line which we needed one running one way and one running another but they had to intersect creating a 90 degree corner, and that is where we began to lay; we continued laying the border along the string and then lay the inlay later on.Interlock is completed now all we need is the turf!Completion of southeast corner of BMW Kitchener
