Digging A SECRET GARAGE Part 3

How to Build an Underground Garage Linked to Tunnels for Your DeLorean

Step 1: Planning and Initial Construction

1. Start by assessing the area where you want to build the underground garage.
2. Begin digging the area to create space for the garage.
3. Realize the complexity of the project and bring in a Digger to help with the excavation.
4. Create a steel room structure as the foundation of the garage.
5. Ensure proper reinforcement with vertical and horizontal steel joists.
6. Consult with a structural engineer to verify the design and reinforcement plan.
7. Install a mesh application for additional support in the concrete floor slab.

Step 2: Bending and Installing Rebar

1. Fabricate a bending device to bend and shape the rebar for reinforcement.
2. Trim the rebar to fit and secure it in place under the floor.
3. Weld pegs onto the steel room and rebar to hold the rebar in position.
4. Connect multiple layers of rebar to create a strong mesh structure.
5. Use ties or a tie gun to secure the rebar in place efficiently.

Step 3: Pouring Concrete and Adding Finishing Touches

1. Use a volumetric mixer to prepare the concrete mix for pouring.
2. Pour concrete to add weight and provide a damp-proof membrane.
3. Install a horizontal RSJ beam to support the expansion of the clay.
4. Add additional rebar to connect and strengthen the structure.
5. Remove the shuttering and plywood after the concrete sets.
6. Expose the project to assess the progress and make necessary adjustments.

Step 4: Extending the Construction and Setting Up Support Systems

1. Plan the next phase of the construction, considering the depth and dimensions of the garage.
2. Dig deeper to accommodate the lift mechanism and other components of the garage.
3. Continue reinforcing the structure with steel bars and concrete.
4. Address external landscaping tasks like power weeding and tree removal.
5. Set up supports and protective measures to prevent damage to the surrounding area during construction.

Step 5: Future Plans and Cost Estimation

1. Consider future stages of the project, including the lift mechanism and turntable system.
2. Evaluate the costs involved in the project and keep track of expenses.
3. Seek support from suppliers like Barrett Steel for materials and guidance.
4. Plan for further construction phases and adjustments based on the progress made so far.
5. Stay updated on the project's development and make necessary modifications as needed.

By following these steps, you can effectively build an underground garage linked to tunnels for your DeLorean, just like in the video "Digging A SECRET GARAGE Part 3" by colinfurze.
