What is concrete slabs?

 

Concrete slabs make up a large part of the structural elements in buildings. It is a thick flat horizontal concrete slab used to build floors and roofs. Concrete slabs are used to construct the foundation of residential buildings, either on the soil or supporting the foundation.

 

 

Our Concrete Slab Installation Process

 

Concrete slab installation is a challenge when one does not have the required abilities. Port St. Lucie Concrete Contractors adhere to a strict concrete slab installation process that adheres to local codes and industry standards.

 

In all our concrete projects, safety is a first priority. Before we begin any project it is made sure that we use the appropriate safety equipment. Eye protection Long sleeves, long pants and rubber gloves, are all essential. These protections shield us from concrete splashes that can cause damage to our health overall and well-being.

 

Similar to before, we follow the steps below:

 

Step 1: Preparation on-site

We follow the same procedure regardless of whether we're working on a small slab or a huge project. Preparing the site is the very first stage in all of our projects. We tidy up and get rid of debris so that we can begin from scratch. In preparation we ensure that all the necessary materials are on the job site. The supply of the materials is planned prior to when the actual work starts. This allows us to complete the work on time.

 

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

After the site has been cleaned, we will construct concrete forms using wire mesh. Concrete forms are solid barriers that hold concrete mix in the right place. Concrete forms also allow concrete mix to assume a certain shape or design. We use rebar to strengthen concrete structures that are larger. This ensures stronger concrete surfaces.

 

Step 3: Mixing Concrete Mix

Concrete trucks make the process simpler. It is also useful to ensure concrete materials are mixed properly. Sometimes, we do manual mixing. But in most of our projects mixing concrete, a mixer is essential.

 

Step 4: Pouring Concrete

Once we are done mixing concrete then the concrete slab is then poured into the molds. It is important to do this carefully so that there aren't excessive air pockets while pouring concrete. Air pockets are caused by lack of mortar filled with aggregate. Concrete is made by ensuring that it is evenly distributed across the form.
