What is Concrete Slabs?

More so concrete slabs are employed to construct the ground floors of many residential structures to support the foundation, or directly on the ground.

 

 

Our Concrete Slab Installation Process

 

Concrete installation can be difficult when your experience and skills aren't up to the job. Port St. Lucie Concrete Contractors follows the strict process of installing concrete slabs.

 

Safety is an absolute priority for any concrete project. Before starting any project, we make sure that we are equipped with security equipment. We wear gloves with long sleeves, long pants and rubber boots. These all help to keep us safe from concrete splashes that could cause harm to our overall health and well-being.

 

For the procedure we follow the following steps:

 

Step 1: Preparation for the Site

We follow the exact same process no matter what size concrete slab project we're working on. Every project we undertake starts with the preparation of the site. We clean up all evidence of contamination to allow us to begin fresh. We make sure that the materials are on site during the process of preparation. The supply of the materials is planned prior to when the actual work starts. This enables us to start and complete the work on time.

 

Step 2: Make Concrete Forms and reinforce Concrete Slabs using Steel

Once the site is cleaned, we can construct concrete forms using wire mesh. Concrete forms work as a solid blockage to hold the concrete mix in its place. It forces concrete mix to conform to a specific shape or design. To reinforce concrete, we use reinforced concrete using Rebar. This allows the concrete surface is more sturdy.

 

Step 3: Mixing Concrete Mix

Concrete trucks make things much simpler. It also helps in ensuring that concrete materials are mixed properly. Sometimes, we do manual mixing. Most of the time, however we make use of a concrete mixer.

 

Step 4: Pouring Concrete

Once we are done mixing concrete, the concrete slab is poured into the form. We do it carefully when pouring the concrete mix to ensure that we do not create too many air pockets. Air pockets arise from the mortar not being placed on top of the aggregate. Concrete is poured by making sure the mortar is evenly distributed throughout the shape.
