Accessibility tends to become visible only when it's missing. People who can easily enter a building, read a website, hear an announcement, use a touchscreen, or navigate public transportation may never notice the design decisions that make those actions possible—or impossible for others.

Accessibility is often defined by the barriers that some people encounter and others never notice.

🏗️ Elevator Foundation Formwork: Step-by-Step Guide to building a strong elevator foundation starts with proper formwork! Here’s the process:

📍 1. Set Out the Foundation
Mark dimensions, centerlines, and levels according to the approved drawings.

⛏️ 2. Prepare the Base
Excavate to the required depth, compact the ground, and place blinding concrete if specified.

🦾 3. Install Reinforcement
Fix rebar, spacers, and embedded items while maintaining the required concrete cover.

🪚 4. Erect the Formwork
Install and brace formwork panels securely to achieve the correct shape and dimensions.

🔩 5. Place Openings & Embedded Items
Position sleeves, anchor bolts, drainage components, and other required inserts.

✅ 6. Conduct Final Inspection
Check dimensions, levels, reinforcement, and formwork stability before pouring concrete.

🧱 7. Pour the Concrete
Place and vibrate concrete properly to ensure a dense, void-free foundation.

💧 8. Cure & Strip the Forms
Allow concrete to gain strength through proper curing before removing formwork.

🎯 Quality Focus:
✔ Accurate dimensions
✔ Proper alignment
✔ Strong bracing
✔ Correct reinforcement cover
✔ Compliance with project specifications
