2.4 Constructing2.4.1 Work sequenceWhen using the SILKA elements,the following work sequenceshould be followed:- adjust the necessary corneruprights;- kicker course construction;- setting up the crane;- mixing the thin joint mortar;- erecting the wall;- removing excess mortar andrepairing any wall damage with anappropriate filler;- shoring the walls.2.4.2 Profile adjustmentCorner uprights are set the same asfor laying traditional bricks; theadjusting slats should not interferewith the crane.2.4.3 Kicker course constructionThe kicker course is constructedusing SILKA kicker course blocks,specially designed for this purpose asthey are completely flat, level andeasily adjustable by means of a line,in a general purpose mortar.The vertical joints are filled with thinjoint mortar.The kicker course construction shouldbe completely set before placement ofthe SILKA elements can begin.14SILKA Calcium Silicate Elements
2.4.4 Distribution planIt is vital a distribution plan is drawnup to allow the system to maintain itsefficiency. The plan allows the materialsto be craned into an appropriateposition for efficient construction.2.4.5 Setting up the craneA number of cranes are availablevarying from 450 kg to more than1000 kg for the hydraulic crane.The crane solely works on highvoltagecurrent.SILKA elements are stackedon slats, as close as possibleto the wall to be built, takinginto account possible recommendationsby the flooringmanufacturer. Service pipesshould protrude as little aspossible (max.100 mm) abovethe floor.2.4.6 Thin joint mortar - SilkafixThese are specially developed waterretaining mortars for SILKA calciumsilicate elements and blocks, basedon traditional method of preparation.A bed of 2 –3 mm mortar is requiredto lay the blocks; such a technique isknown as ‘thin joint mortar’SILKA recommends using only the thinjoint mortar on command, suppliedby the factory (Silkafix) and adheringto the instructions on the packaging.Specifications:- delivery in bags of 25 kg;- instructions for use onthe packaging;- setting time about 4 hours;- the special winter thin joint mortarcan be used up to about –3 °.(Winter mortar is delivered fromabout 1 November to 1 April).6.000 6.000002 0051,00 mPalletwith cutelementsforwall 002SilkaelementsE 100for wall 002Palletwith cutelementsforwall 005Silka elementsE 150 for wall 007in two layersSilkaelementsE 100for wall 005Remark: The thin joint mortar mustbe mixed for about 4 minutes allowingthe dry mix to fully bond to a solubleand useable state.
