What is concrete?

 

Concrete slabs make up the majority of building's structural components. Concrete slabs are a thick, flat and horizontal concrete layer, which can be used as a floor or even as a roof. More so concrete slabs are employed for the construction of the ground floors of many residential structures as a support for the foundation or directly on the soil.

 

 

Our Concrete Slab Installation Process

 

Concrete slab installation is challenging when one does not have the necessary abilities. Port St. Lucie Concrete Contractors use a strict concrete slab-installation process that follows codes and standards of the industry.

 

Safety is the top priority for any concrete project. Before starting any project we ensure we are equipped with all the necessary safety equipment. Eye protection is a must, as are long sleeves, long trousers rubber boots, and gloves. All these protections protect us from concrete splashes which could cause damage to our overall health and well being.

 

Follow these steps in addition.

 

Step 1 - Preparation on the spot

We always follow the same method, no matter what size project we are working on. For all projects, we clean up the area. To get started we take care to clear all debris and clean up the area. We ensure all materials are ready for use during the preparation phase. We plan the arrival of materials prior to the actual project. This helps us complete the project within the timeframe we have set.

 

Step 2: Make Concrete Forms using Steel, and Reinforce Concrete Slabs by Steel

After the site has been cleaned and is ready for installation Wire mesh is used to install concrete forms. Concrete forms are strong blocks that keep concrete mix in place. Concrete mixes are forced to take a particular form or design. We use rebar to strengthen concrete for larger structures. This ensures stronger concrete surfaces.

 

Step 3: Mixing Concrete Mix

To facilitate the process for us, we utilize a concrete truck. It also assists in ensuring concrete materials are properly mixed. Sometimes, we do manual mixing. Most of the time, however, we use a concrete mixer.

 

Step 4: Pouring Concrete

When we're done mixing concrete, the concrete slab is poured into the forms. To prevent air pockets, we carefully apply the mix of concrete. Air pockets are created when there is not enough mortar to fill the spaces surrounding the aggregate. We make sure that the concrete mix is evenly distributed across the form.
