Udaka lwephakethe elomile, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-dry pack grout noma ukhonkolo wephakethe elomile, iyingxube usimende, isihlabathi, nokuqukethwe kwamanzi okuncane. Ivamise ukusetshenziselwa izinhlelo zokusebenza ezinjengokulungisa indawo ekhonkolo, ukubeka amapani okugeza, noma ukwakha amaphansi emithambeka. Isikhathi sokuphulukiswa kodaka lwephakethe elomile siyisici esibalulekile okufanele sicatshangelwe ukuze kuqinisekiswe amandla nokuqina kwalo. Nakuba isikhathi esiqondile sokwelapha singahluka kuye ngezinto ezihlukahlukene, nansi incazelo ebanzi yenqubo yokwelapha kanye nezikhathi ezijwayelekile ezihilelekile.

Ukwelapha kuyinqubo yokugcina umswakama ofanelekile nezimo zokushisa ukuze udaka luthuthukise amandla alo aphelele nokuqina. Ngesikhathi sokwelapha, izinto zikasimende odongeni lwepakethe elomile ziba nenqubo yokukhipha amanzi emzimbeni, lapho zihlangana namanzi ukuze zakhe isakhiwo esiqinile nesihlala isikhathi eside.

1. Isikhathi Sokusetha Sokuqala: Isikhathi sokuqala sokusetha sibhekisela esikhathini esisithathayo ukuze udaka lube lukhuni kuze kube seqophelweni lapho lungasekela khona umthwalo othile ngaphandle kokuguquka okuphawulekayo. Ngodaka lwephakethe elomile, isikhathi sokuqala sokusetha sifushane, ngokuvamile cishe amahora angu-1 kuya kwangu-4, kuye ngokuthi usimende othile kanye nezithasiselo ezisetshenzisiwe.
2. Isikhathi Sokugcina Sokusetha: Isikhathi sokugcina sokusetha ubude besikhathi esidingekayo ukuze udaka lufinyelele ubulukhuni namandla awo aphezulu. Lesi sikhathi singahluka kakhulu, kusukela emahoreni angu-6 kuye kwangama-24 noma ngaphezulu, kuye ngezici ezifana nohlobo lukasimende, idizayini yengxubevange, izinga lokushisa elizungezile, umswakama, nogqinsi lohlelo.
3. Isikhathi Sokwelapha: Ngemva kwesikhathi sokuqala nesokugcina sokusetha, udaka luyaqhubeka nokuthola amandla nokuqina ngenqubo yokwelapha. Ukwelapha ngokuvamile kwenziwa ngokugcina udaka lumanzi, okuvumela ukuqhubeka nokugeleza kwezinto zikasimende.
   • Ukwelapha Kwasekuqaleni: Isikhathi sokuqala sokuphulukisa sibalulekile ekuvimbeleni ukomiswa kodaka ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Ngokuvamile kubandakanya ukumboza udaka lwephakethe elomile ngeshidi lepulasitiki noma izingubo zokulala ezimanzi ukuze kugcinwe umswakama. Lesi sigaba ngokuvamile sithatha amahora angu-24 kuya kwangu-48.
   • Ukwelapha Okuphakathi: Uma isigaba sokuqala sokuphulukisa sesiphelile, udaka kufanele lugcinwe lumanzi ukuze kube lula ukugeleza kwamanzi nokuthuthukiswa kwamandla. Lokhu kungafezwa ngokufafaza amanzi ngezikhathi ezithile phezu komhlaba noma ngokusebenzisa izinhlanganisela zokuphulukisa ezakha umgoqo womswakama. Ukwelapha okuphakathi ngokuvamile kuqhubeka izinsuku ezingu-7 kuya kwezingu-14.
   • Ukwelapha Kwesikhathi Eside: Udaka lwephakethe elomile luyaqhubeka nokuthola amandla esikhathini eside. Nakuba ingase ithole amandla anele kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa noma amaviki, kuyanconywa ukuvumela ukuphulukiswa kwesikhathi eside ukuze kukhulise ukuqina kwayo. Lokhu kungathatha noma yikuphi ukusuka ezinsukwini ezingama-28 kuye ezinyangeni ezimbalwa, kuye ngezidingo ezithile zephrojekthi.

Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi isikhathi sokwelapha singathonywa yizici zangaphandle ezifana nezinga lokushisa, umswakama, kanye nedizayini ethile yengxube ye-dry pack mortar. Amazinga okushisa aphakeme ngokuvamile asheshisa inqubo yokwelapha, kuyilapho amazinga okushisa aphansi angase andise isikhathi sokwelapha. Ukwengeza, ukugcina amazinga omswakama afanele ngesikhathi sokwelashwa kubalulekile ukuvimbela ukuqhekeka nokuqinisekisa ukuthuthukiswa kwamandla afanele.

Ukuze unqume isikhathi esiqondile sokuphulukiswa kokufakwa kodaka lwephakethe elomile, kubalulekile ukubonana nezincomo zomkhiqizi bese ulandela imihlahlandlela enikeziwe. Imiyalo yomkhiqizi ingase ibhekane nohlobo oluthile lukasimende, idizayini yengxubevange, nezimo zemvelo ukuze kuhlinzekwe izikhathi eziqondile zokuphulukisa zemiphumela emihle kakhulu.

Kafushane, isikhathi sokuqala sokusetha sodaka lwephakethe elomile sifushane, ngokuvamile amahora angu-1 kuya kwangu-4, kuyilapho isikhathi sokusetha sokugcina sisukela emahoreni angu-6 kuye kwangama-24 noma ngaphezulu. Ukwelapha kubandakanya ukugcina umswakama odongeni, ngokuphulukiswa kokuqala kuthatha amahora angama-24 kuye kwangama-48, ukuphulukiswa okuphakathi okuthatha izinsuku eziyi-7 kuye kweziyi-14, kanye nokwelashwa kwesikhathi eside okuqhubeka amasonto ambalwa kuya ezinyangeni. Ukunamathela emikhubeni efanele yokwelapha kubalulekile ukuze kuqinisekiswe amandla, ukuqina, kanye nokusebenza kukonke kwe-dry pack mortar.
