Charlie,
This fax
Station.
is in response to questions regarding construction of the DeForst Lift
1. Does the reinforcing for the beams (as shown in Section B on Sheet
DS-l) need to be tied to the wall reinforcing?
It is not necessary for the beam reinforcing to be tied to the wall
reinforcing unless the contractor wishes to do so to hold the bars
in place during the concrete placement. However, it is necessary
for the beam reinforcement to extend into the wall a minimum of
2'-3".
2. Can the valve vault walls and wet well walls be done in a single pour?
The joint at the interface of the valve vault walls and the wet well
walls (shown on Sheet DS-2) cannot be eliminated. Without this
joint, the wall would tend to crack at that location due to the fact
that wet well walls are much more massive than the valve walls.
