One method to fasten timber to a concrete wall:
You will need: * a hammer drill * a masonry bit * a timber bit * a pencil or marker * concrete fasteners: these could be expanding bolts that will grip the sides of the hole drilled into the concrete as they are tightened; bolts set into epoxy resin in the drilled hole in the concrete; or screws tightened into plugs hammered into holes drilled in the concrete * a plumb line or level * measuring tape or ruler
# Measure the required location of the timber on the wall # Check with plumb line or level # Mark the location # Mark and drill with the timber bit at least two holes for fasteners (the number required will depend on the load to be carried and the size of the timber) in the timber
# Locate the timber on the wall and mark the corresponding locations on the concrete through the holes in the timber # At these locations drill into the concrete with a hammer drill and masonry bit the correct depth and diameter for the fasteners you have # clear all dust and residue from the holes
# Attach the timber using the fasteners.
Note builders epoxy sets very quickly
Timber should be separated from concrete by a moisture barrier such as damp proof course, plastic membrane etc to prevent any condensation on the concrete causing moisture buildup and rot in the timber

How do you fur out a concrete block wall?
If the block wall is relatively plumb, you can use 2x2 or 2x3 wood furring strips. Personally, I use Tapcon brand screws to hold the strips. I recommend a decent corded hammer drill if this is a large project to pre-drill the holes, though. You can also use metal furring strips (hat channels), which may be preferable in basement situations. If the wall is above grade and insulation is an issue, I would just frame out the wall with 2x4's or 2x6's so you can get full-width insulation between the studs. Otherwise, the best you can do is 1 1/2" rigid (which should be fine for below grade basement walls).

What are the benefits of using concrete diaphragm walls?
Concrete diaphragm walls are a great choice for basement construction. These walls provide both structural support and insulation, making them ideal for basements with low-ceilinged rooms that need to be insulated. The concrete makes the walls very durable, and it is a good option for basements that will see heavy use such as multi storied parking lots for cars and motorcycles. Heritage Infraspace has been constructing diaphragm walls for deep basements for close to 2 decades now, and is one of the most trusted construction companies in India.

How much does it cost to install a vinyl swimming pool versus fiberglass pool?
Well first of all there is no such thing as a fiberglass pool. You can have fiberglass walls instead of steel but your pool is still vinyl because you need a liner. These are the usual combinations of inground pools.
