Clinker brick chimney head erection - has sheath base frame, reinforcing ring, support bars through holes and crane loops

摘要

The chimney sheath is built from clinker bricks onto a base frame on the ground, with reinforcing rings laid into some of its horizontal mortar joints. Two or more interfacing supports bar are firmly anchored in the base frame, passing through holes in the bricks above the chimney sheath level. These have projecting carrier loops at their top ends, for suspension on a crane. This lifts the whole chimney sheath, and deposits it from above onto the bracket plate, tilting above the raised chimney bricks. The carrier loops are removed, and the remaining hollow spaces in the chimney head are filled with highly fluid mortar. Chimney building is simplified, and a clean weather-resistant exterior is built.
