Project Overview

We are pleased to provide an update on the ongoing construction of Tauheed Heights, a commercial complex located in Tauheed Block, Bahria Town Lahore. This project will encompass a total of B+G+9 floors, offering a spacious covered area of 95,000 sq. ft. We are committed to delivering a high-quality development that meets the needs of the community.

Raft Pouring PCC Update

We are excited to announce a significant milestone in the construction of Tauheed Heights – the successful completion of the Raft Pouring PCC stage. The raft foundation is a crucial element that provides a stable base for the entire structure. The PCC (Portland Cement Concrete) pour ensures a level and solid platform upon which the building will be constructed.

Process Details

The Raft Pouring PCC process involved meticulous planning and execution. Here’s a breakdown of the key steps undertaken by our team:

• Site preparation: The designated area for the raft foundation underwent thorough excavation to remove any existing structures or debris. The soil was then compacted to achieve the required density for optimal load-bearing capacity.
• Formwork installation: A robust formwork system was erected to define the shape and dimensions of the raft foundation. This temporary structure ensured the proper placement and curing of the concrete.
• Steel reinforcement: A precisely calculated network of steel rebar was placed throughout the formwork. This reinforcement significantly enhances the tensile strength of the concrete, enabling it to withstand structural loads.
• Concrete pouring: High-quality concrete was mixed on-site and meticulously poured into the formwork. The pouring process was continuous to guarantee structural integrity and minimize the risk of cold joints.
• Curing: Following the concrete pour, a curing process was implemented to ensure the concrete hardens gradually and achieves its maximum strength. This typically involves covering the concrete with a curing compound and maintaining a specific level of moisture.

Benefits of Raft Foundation

The decision to utilize a raft foundation for Tauheed Heights offers several advantages:

• Enhanced stability: The raft foundation distributes the building’s weight uniformly across the entire subgrade, providing exceptional stability on uneven or weak soil conditions.
• Improved load-bearing capacity: The expansive surface area of the raft foundation effectively distributes the building’s load, ensuring the structure can support its intended weight.
• Reduced risk of settlement: The uniform load distribution minimizes the risk of localized settlements that could cause cracks or unevenness in the building.
• Moisture resistance: A properly constructed raft foundation acts as a barrier against moisture ingress from the ground, protecting the building’s interior from dampness.

Conclusion

The successful completion of the Raft Pouring PCC stage marks a significant achievement in the construction of Tauheed Heights. This crucial step paves the way for the subsequent construction phases, bringing us closer to realizing this exceptional commercial development. We at ZAS Construction Services (Pvt) Ltd. are committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality and workmanship throughout the entire construction process. Stay tuned for further updates on the progress of Tauheed Heights.
