Site Requirements

Clear, level and sound access up to and around the building on which the slabs are to be erected.

In order to obtain a flush ceiling on brickwork the load bearing walls must be level. Avoid internal walls being higher. If brickwork is not level a mortar bed will be required on top of the brickwork.

As the panels are designed and manufactured specifically for your project, site dimensions need to be accurate to avoid delays. Site dimensions are checked by Echo prior to manufacture.

Sand and cement for grouting between the Echo panels are to be supplied by the customer. The actual grouting is done by Echo.

Window and door openings in load bearing walls up to 2,0 meters wide can be covered by lintels side by side with five courses of brickwork with brick force in every course for slab spans up to 7 meters. Openings wider than 2 meters must be referred to the engineer for detailing of additional structural steel supports.
