I am not sure where you are based, but a quick search on google turned up these "guys"

Concrete testing is to be carried out in accordance with BS 8500-1, Annex B.
There is also Concrete Advice No.30 which is a publication from The Concrete Society which gives guidance on indentity testing for strength in accordance with BS EN 206-1 and BS 8500-1.
I am assuming by the metric units that you are in the UK.
In which case I would suggest a product called Filcor, from Cordek or something similar. They do a range of products with a 1% compression at loads from 10kN/m2 and 190kN/m2
This is expanded polystyrene as Hokie66 suggests
Could you not do a hybrid of options 2 & 3 and add a 45degree chamfer between the wall and base. In this chamfer you could then run your diagonal reinforcement through the chamfer.
This would look similar to virtually any precast box culvert I have seen over here in the UK.
In a previous company we did a lot of design work for stages, generally we designed in accordance with The IStructE "Temporary demountable structures. Guidance on procurement, design and use"
In the document it stipulates a minimumn wind speed for which a temporary structure should be designed...
Not sure if you are able to access the British Standards but BS 8500-1:2006 has guidance for concrete specifiers.
It takes a while to get used to but, it gives guidance on cover and strength requirements, cement and water contents (inc. type of cement). All based upon enviromental exposure and...
These were IStructE & ICE manuals for design
Grey was steelwork, Green concrete, red masonry.

The Blue book refers to the SCI Steelwork Design Guide.

I have a question regarding the pouring of the concrete itself rather than the formwork itself.
How is the contractor planning on pouring the concrete? Will he be pouring from the top so that the concrete will be hitting all the reinforcement on the way down? Or will he pouring from the bottom...
Tata Steel have taken over Corus recently in Europe.
Below is a link to their publications with all their available section sizes.

Hope it helps
An M30 bolt has a cross sectional area of 706mm2, the bolt head has an area of 1832mm2 (sizes taken from the Steel Detailers manual of 46mm across the flats and 53mm from corner to corner) giving a bearing pressure of 35.4 & 13.6N/mm2 respectively.
An M24 gives a head area of 1122mm2 (36mm...
To BS 5950 clause 4.13.1 (it is the steelwork code but stay with me on this), the concrete foundation bearing strength under a baseplate may be taken as 0.6 fcu (in the case of C25/30 concrete fcu is 30 N/mm2).
This is for column bases and so in theory is relevant for your application...
I assume that the contractor will also allow for construction tolerances in the steel frame that will mean that the frame will not need to be shimmed to level it up.
Instead of bolting the fance to the top of the wall or forming foundations to one side of the fence. Why not bolt the fence vertical members to the side of the wall?
Why on earth would you cut a trench/groove to that tight a tolerance. Wouldn't you just cut a 3" trench/groove and be done with it.
It's a cable at the end of the day.
