Discuss Anyone come across a wall filled with sand? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Worked on some tower blocks years ago, the sockets and lighting were laid on the rough concrete floor in pvc conduit, the lights were piped on the floor for the flat below, then the builder dumped a load of sharp sand over the floor, levelled it off, put rock wool slabs on then chipboard flooring over, creating a floating floor. Anyway once the people moved in and had heating on, we had to go back and fit various fancy ceiling lights for some residents, when we took the pendant down it was like being inside a big egg timer! The sand had dried out with the heating pipes also being placed on the floor!
 
I worked in a really old pub years ago and the floor above was filled with ash and cinder for sound proofing.
It was waste from the local block manufacturer.
