What are Concrete Slabs?

 

Concrete slabs are a typical structural element in buildings. A concrete slab is a thick, flat and horizontal concrete layer that is utilized as a floor or even as an roof. Concrete slabs are utilized for building the ground floor of some residential structures. Concrete slabs can be laid directly on the soil or as support for the foundation.

 

 

Our Concrete Slab Installation Process

 

Concrete installation can be difficult when one does not have the necessary abilities. Port St. Lucie Concrete Contractors use strict procedures for concrete slab installation that is in line with the industry's standards and codes.

 

Safety is a top goal for all concrete projects. Prior to beginning any work, we make sure that we're properly outfitted with safety gear. We put on gloves long sleeves with rubber boots, gloves and rubber to protect our eyes. All these protections protect us from concrete splatters that could damage our overall health and well being.

 

As with the process we follow the following steps:

 

Step 1: Preparation at the site

We use the same process regardless of whether we're working on a tiny slab or big project. Each project we take on begins by preparing the site. We clean up and eliminate any waste that is left so that it is possible for us to start over. We ensure that all materials are prepared to be used during the preparation phase. We arrange the transportation of the materials prior to the actual project. This enables us to start and finish the project in time.

 

Step 2 - Build concrete forms and reinforce concrete slabs with steel

Once the site is cleared and cleared, we'll begin the process of installing concrete forms made with wire mesh. Concrete forms are strong barriers that keep the concrete mix in the right place. Concrete forms force wet concrete to take on a particular shape or design. Rebar is used for strengthening concrete for larger structures. This ensures stronger concrete surfaces.

 

Step 3: Mixing Concrete Mix

A concrete truck is utilized to make the process easier. It ensures that concrete materials are properly mixed. Sometimes, we do manual mixing. Concrete mixers are required for most projects.

 

Step 4: Pouring Concrete

After mixing the concrete, we pour it into the forms. We pour the concrete mixture carefully so as to not create air pockets. Air pockets can be caused by too little mortar in the gaps around the aggregate. Concrete is poured by making sure the mortar is evenly distributed across the form.
