What are concrete slabs?

 

A concrete slab is an important portion of construction elements of buildings. It is a thick and flat horizontal concrete surface that is typically used as an area for flooring or as a roof. Concrete slabs are utilized in some residential structures to support the foundation, or directly on ground.

 

 

Our Concrete Slab Installation Process

 

Concrete installations can be tricky if you're not equipped with the knowledge and experience required for it. Port St. Lucie Concrete Contractors adhere to strict concrete slab installation practices which are compliant with industry standards as well as local codes.

 

In all our concrete projects, safety is a first priority. Prior to starting any work, we ensure we equip ourselves with safety equipment. Eye protection is a must, as are long sleeves, long trousers, rubber gloves, and boots. All of these help safeguard us from concrete splatters that can harm our overall health, and overall well-being.

 

For the procedure we follow the following steps:

 

Step 1: Preparation on site

We use the same process regardless of whether working on a small slab or a big project. Every project we work on starts by preparing the area. We remove all trace of contamination so that we can start fresh. As part the preparation process, all materials must be present on site. The transportation of materials is scheduled before actual work begins. This lets us finish the work on time.

 

Step 2 Re-inforce concrete slabs using steel, and then construct concrete forms

After the site has been cleaned, we will construct concrete forms using wire mesh. Concrete forms are solid barriers that hold concrete mix in place. Concrete forms can also force concrete mix to adopt a particular shape or style. Rebar is used for strengthening concrete for larger structures. Concrete surfaces are strengthened by this.

 

Step 3: Mixing Concrete Mix

Concrete trucks are used to make life easier. It also helps ensure concrete materials are properly mixed. Sometimes, we do manual mixing. However, concrete mixers are needed for projects.

 

Step 4: Pouring Concrete

After the concrete has been mixed, we immediately put a concrete slab into the forms. It's important that we do the concrete mix carefully to avoid air pockets. Air pockets are caused due to a lack of mortar in the gaps around the aggregate. Concrete is produced by spreading the mix uniformly throughout the form.
