What is concrete slabs?

Concrete slabs, which are laid directly on the ground or on foundations supporting them and are used to build the foundation for certain residential buildings.

 

 

Our Concrete Slab Installation Process

 

Concrete installations can be difficult when you're not equipped with the knowledge and experience required for it. Port St. Lucie Concrete Contractors follows the strict concrete slab installation process.

 

Safety is a priority in all of our concrete projects. Before any project is started, we make sure to have the right safety equipment. We are equipped with gloves with long sleeves, long pants and rubber boots. All these protections protect us from concrete splashes which could damage our overall health and well being.

 

The steps listed below are to be adhered to as part of the process.

 

Step 1: Preparation for the site

We follow the same process, whether it's a small concrete slab project or a larger one. The preparation of the site is the very first step in all of our projects. We clear up and dispose of all garbage in order to start again. As part of our pre-planning we ensure that all the materials are available on the site. We plan the delivery of the materials prior to the time we begin actual work. This allows us to begin and finish the project in time.

 

Step 2: Create Concrete Forms and reinforce Concrete Slabs with Steel

After the site has been cleaned, we will install concrete forms with wire mesh. Concrete forms are solid barriers that keep concrete mix in its place. Concrete forms force concrete to conform to a specific shape or design. To reinforce concrete we make use of reinforced concrete by using rebar. This helps ensure stronger concrete surfaces.

 

Step 3: Mixing Concrete Mix

We employ a concrete truck to help us with our work. This helps to ensure the concrete material is mixed. Sometimes, we do manual mixing. However, in the majority of cases we employ a concrete mixer.

 

Step 4: Pouring Concrete

Once we are done mixing concrete and forming the slab, the concrete is then poured into the molds. It is crucial to do this carefully so that there aren't too many air pockets while pouring concrete. Air pockets result from the mortar not being fully filled with the aggregate. Concrete is made by ensuring that it is evenly distributed across the shape.
