What are concrete slabs?

 

A concrete slab makes up the majority of building's structural components. A concrete slab is a thin, flat, horizontal concrete surface which is used to construct the construction of a roof or floor. Concrete slabs are utilized in some residential structures to support the foundation, or directly on earth.

 

 

Our Concrete Slab Installation Process

 

Concrete installation can be a challenge if one doesn't have the required expertise. Port St. Lucie Concrete Contractors follow a strict concrete slab installation process that adheres to local codes and industry standards.

 

Safety is the paramount concern in all of our concrete projects. Before we start any work, we make sure that we're properly equipped with safety equipment. Eye protection is a must, as are long sleeves, long pants, rubber boots and gloves. All of these safeguards protect us from concrete splatters that could cause damage to our overall health and well-being.

 

As with the process, we strictly follow below steps:

 

Step 1: Preparation on-site

We follow the same process regardless of how big a project it is. We always start by preparing the site for all the projects we undertake. We tidy the area and dispose of garbage so we can begin from scratch. As part of the preparation process the materials should be present on site. We plan the arrival of materials prior to actual project. This helps us complete the project within the timeframe we have set.

 

Step 2 Re-inforce concrete slabs using steel and construct concrete forms

Once the area is cleaned, we can put in concrete forms using wire mesh. Concrete forms are solid barriers that hold the concrete mix in place. Concrete forms can also make concrete mix take on a specific shape or style. We use rebar to strengthen concrete for larger structures. This makes concrete surfaces stronger.

 

Step 3: Mixing Concrete Mix

We employ a concrete truck to make things easier. It is also useful in ensuring that concrete materials are mixed correctly. Sometimes, we do manual mixing. But, the majority of concrete mixers are needed to finish projects.

 

Step 4: Pouring Concrete

Once the concrete has been mixed, we pour concrete into the form. It's important that we do the concrete mix carefully to avoid air pockets. The existence of air pockets result from there being insufficient mortar to fill the gaps around the aggregate. Concrete is poured by making sure the mortar is evenly distributed throughout the shape.
