Steps for cabro installation

  • Preparation for cabro installation: A plan of measures and requirements is needed before any ground is broken.
  • Excavation: Dig off as required, and dispose of the non-essential layer of the ground.
  • Sub-base: The sub-base should be profiled or graded to match the planned profile of the finished paving and should be accurate. There should be no voids within the sub-base. Voids should be filled with stone dust or grit sand and compacted before placing the laying course.
  • Laying Course: Spread, level, and compact laying course sand, and screed to the correct level. Ensure creation of a smooth, even, and flowing surface on which to lay the bricks.
  • Block laying: Laying of all full blocks continues, with the operatives working from the already laid paving, not from the screeded laying course.
  • Alignment and compliance: Check for alignment by using a string line stretched along the diagonal courses and adjusting as necessary, using the alignment bar tool after the arrangement.
  • Jointing and compaction: This is done once all the cutting-in has been completed, and the compliance checks carried out
