ASSIGNMENT RESEARCH

Bricklayers building a wall at the back of this shed.

Galvanised colums and c-sections were used for this shed. This is done by a company that specialises in building sheds. Mild steel is not necessary for such structures.

Note colourbond cladding, safety mesh on roof, with A purlins spaced at 12oo centres, and cross bracing which would be the same at the other end.

Flashing cast into saw cut in brickwork. This flashing prevents water penetrating the building and directs water from the parapet down into the box gutter.

Typical box gutter, about 20 years old still going strong. Note the flashing how it runs continuously right up to the capping of the parapet brick wall.

STORMWATER DETENTION SYSTEM

The idea of stormwater detention is to reduce the flow of water into the main drain. This is something outrageous for us since there's never been a requirement for such a complex stormwater system on any of our unit developments.
