What are concrete slabs?

 

A concrete slab is a common structural element in structures. A concrete slab is a thick, flat and horizontal concrete layer that can be used as a floor or even as a roof. Concrete slabs are employed in certain residential buildings to help support the foundation or directly on ground.

 

 

Our Concrete Slab Installation Process

 

Concrete installation is not for those with weak hearts. Port St. Lucie Concrete Contractors use strict procedures for concrete slab installation that follows the industry's standards and codes.

 

Safety is an important factor in all the concrete projects we work on. We ensure that we are equipped with necessary safety equipment prior to we begin any project. Eye protection is a must, as are long sleeves, long trousers rubber gloves, and boots. All these protect us from concrete splashes which can harm our health and well-being.

 

These steps are followed in addition.

 

Step 1: Preparation for the Site

The same method is used regardless of whether we are working on a small slab or large project. Every project we undertake starts with the preparation of the site. We tidy the area and dispose of debris so that we can begin on a clean slate. As part of our pre-planning, we ensure that all the necessary materials are on the job site. We schedule the delivery of materials before the actual project begins. This helps us complete the project within the timeline we have established.

 

Step 2: Reinforce concrete slab with steel and build concrete forms.

Once the site is clean and ready, we move on by putting in concrete forms using wire mesh. Concrete forms work as a solid blockage to keep the concrete mix in position. Concrete forms can also force concrete mix to adopt a particular shape or style. We use rebar to strengthen concrete in larger structures. This allows for stronger concrete surfaces.

 

Step 3: Mixing Concrete Mix

To facilitate the process to make it easier, we employ the concrete truck. Concrete materials can be mixed more effectively with an concrete truck. Sometimes, we do manual mixing. However, in the majority of cases we employ an concrete mixer.

 

Step 4: Pouring Concrete

After we have finished mixing concrete, we put the concrete slab in our molds. The concrete mixture is poured carefully to avoid creating air pockets. Air pockets result from too much mortar not being put over the aggregate. We make sure that the concrete mix is evenly distributed throughout the shape.
