CONSTRUCCIÓN DE ACERA PRIVADA

A sidewalk you must be a itinerary pedestrian accessible, que no es otra cosa que aquel que permite a todas las personas utilizarlo de manera segura, cómoda, autónoma y continua.

Sidewalks para tener la consideración de itinerario peatonal accesible deben cumplir una serie de requisitos, como el hecho de discurrir de manera colindante a la línea de fachada.

Security

Es fundamental to ensure the safety both of the people that will be using the sidewalk as the staff in charge of the work. You must carry out security measures as the delimitation of the area of work and the signaling appropriate to prevent accidents.

La construcción de la acera debe comenzar con la nivelación del terreno y la preparación de la base. Se deben utilizar materiales adecuados para asegurar la durabilidad y resistencia de la acera.

Es fundamental asegurarse de que la superficie quede plana y uniforme, sin obstáculos ni desniveles que puedan dificultar la accesibilidad.

Una parte esencial de este proceso es la colocación del bordillo, que sirve como borde y soporte para la acera.

Placement

The placement of the curb is a critical step in the construction of a public sidewalk. It needs to be planned carefully and carried out with precision to ensure a safe sidewalk and durable.

After placing the curb, there's that create the base (slab) on that pave, para ello, se mezcla cemento, arena y agua en una proporción específica hasta lograr una consistencia uniforme. Una vez que se ha preparado el mortero u hormigón, se vierte sobre la base preparada.

After building the floor as you can pave the base with tiles or terrazzo hydraulic (cement-based). The pavement of terrazzo is a great option for the construction of public sidewalks because of its durability, resistance, and easy maintenance.

It is crucial in any type of placement of terrazzo floors, comenzar con el trazado de las hileras maestras que indican las orientaciones de colocación de las piezas para su correcto escuadrado y nivelación.

You should check the leveling and squaring of all the parts as we progress in the placement, using threads at the addresses of the rows teachers and levels to ensure alignment and horizontal.

In any system of placement, it must meet the following conditions:

• There should be a thickness of mortar around 40 mm.
• The tiles will be placed with a pitch of 0.8 to 3.0 mm according to the dimensions of the parts, to avoid embossing. Should never be placed tiles without separation "to the bone" or "kill-board".
• The tiles should settle and level off with tools non-metallic, such as a rubber mallet, to avoid height differences between tiles contiguous "eyebrows".
• Measures should be taken to avoid damage by heavy loads for at least 7 days.

To absorb the irregularities of the base, such as uneven or pipelines, you should place a bed of sand as an intermediate element between the support and the mortar, surpassing always the coronation of such elements.

Se deben respetar las juntas de separación de baldosas y de dilatación de obra existentes en el edificio u obra a pavimentar, tanto en el solado como en las capas de relleno. La disposición en planta de las juntas de dilatación de la superficie de solado, así como su tipo, deben estar reflejadas en el proyecto de la obra.

With these steps, you can bring out the placement of terrazzo floors on a public sidewalk, so efficient and durable, ensuring the quality of the work and the safety of the users.

Process for the construction of sidewalk accessible

1. Preparation of the ground: before placing the curb, it is important to prepare the ground properly. This involves leveling the surface and make sure there are no stones, branches or other obstacles that may interfere with the placement of the curb.
2. Design: before you begin placing the curb, you must have a clear design and detailed of the sidewalk. This includes the width and the height of the sidewalk, as well as the location and height of the curb.
3. Placement of curbs: once the ground is prepared and the design of the sidewalk is ready, you can begin placing curbs. The first step is to mark the location of the edge of the sidewalk with nails.4
4. Cut and fit: the curb must be cut and adjusted to fit the length and shape of the design of the sidewalk. This can be done using a concrete saw or an angle grinder. It is important that the curb snaps perfectly in place, so as to avoid gaps or spaces that may interfere with the stability of the sidewalk.
5. Placement of the base: after adjusting the curb, puts the base of the sidewalk. This can be a base of sand or a mixture of cement. The base should be leveled and compacted to ensure a uniform surface and stable to the sidewalk.
6. Installation of curb: once that is placed on the base, you can install the curb permanently. Place the first curb in place, leveled and adjusted as necessary. Then, apply a mixture of cement between the curbs to ensure a strong connection and long-lasting. This process is repeated until you have installed all the curbs necessary.
7. Cleaning and finishing: once you have installed the curbs, it proceeds to clean any excess cement or excess material. Finally, it performs a final finish on the surface of the curb to ensure a uniform appearance and aesthetics.

Urbanisation of private plot

La construcción de una acera pública requiere de un estudio detallado de la zona, una planificación adecuada, la aplicación de medidas de seguridad y la utilización de materiales de calidad.
