What are Concrete slabs?

 

A concrete slab is a common structural element in structures. Concrete slabs are flat, thick, horizontal concrete surface which is used to construct flooring or roofing. Concrete slabs are utilized for building the ground floor of some residential structures. They can be placed directly on the soil or as support for the foundation.

 

 

Our Concrete Slab Installation Process

 

Concrete slabs can be a challenge if your skills and knowledge are not sufficient for the task. Port St. Lucie Concrete Contractors adhere to stringent concrete slab installation methods that are in line with industry standards as well as local codes.

 

Safety is the top priority for all concrete projects. Before starting any work, we make sure that we are equipped with safety equipment. We are equipped with gloves and long sleeves, as well as long pants, and rubber boots. All of them protect us from concrete splashes.

 

The steps below must be strictly performed as part of the procedure.

 

Step 1: Onsite preparation

We use the same process regardless of whether working on a tiny slab or large project. Every project we work on starts with the preparation of the site. We clear away all traces of contamination to allow us to start fresh. As part of our pre-planning we make sure that all the necessary materials are on the site. We arrange the transportation of materials prior to actual project. This allows us start and complete the project in a a timely manner.

 

Step 2: Build Concrete Forms and Reinforce Concrete Slab with Steel

After everything is neat and tidy, we begin to install concrete forms with wire mesh. Concrete forms are strong barriers holding concrete mix in the right place. Concrete mixes are forced to adopt a particular shape or shape. For larger structures, we use rebar to reinforce concrete. This makes concrete surfaces stronger.

 

Step 3: Mixing Concrete Mix

To help us for us, we utilize a concrete truck. It also helps in ensuring concrete materials are mixed properly. Sometimes, we do manual mixing. For most projects, however the use of a concrete mixer is likely to be needed.

 

Step 4: Pouring Concrete

After we have finished mixing concrete, we pour the concrete slab into our forms. We do it carefully when pouring the concrete mix in order to ensure that we do not create too many air pockets. Air pockets are caused by the mortar not being put over the aggregate. When we pour concrete, we make sure we spread the mix throughout the form, never leaving one spot.
