By Chennai Compound Wall   Essential Steps for Proper Compound Wall Construction The construction of RCC compound wall requires skilled laborer's and involves following steps: A continuous foundation is constructed with reinforced concrete. Individual concrete blocks of required compressive strength are put on the foundation, and the joints and pores are grouted properly. How to build a compound wall step by step? Step 1: The initial step is to locate the plot's perimeter and demarcate it. It is adjusted such that the SW and SE corners make 90 degrees if the SW or SE corner is expanded in some cases. Step 2: The digging for the compound wall is done beginning in the NE and moving towards the SW at a height of three to four feet. What are the elements of a compound wall? Walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs can be composed of parallel layers. A compound element can consist of a single continuous layer of material (such as plywood) or multiple layers (such as gypsum board,...
