What are concrete slabs?

 

Concrete slabs can be used as a structural element for buildings. Concrete slabs are flat, thick, horizontal concrete surface that's used for the construction of a roof or floor. More so concrete slabs are employed to build the floor of some residential buildings to support the foundation, or directly on the ground.

 

 

Our Concrete Slab Installation Process

 

Concrete installations can be tricky if you don't have the experience and skills for them. Port St. Lucie Concrete Contractors adheres to the strict concrete slab installation process.

 

Safety is our paramount concern in all of the concrete work we undertake. Before any project is started it is made sure that we use the appropriate safety equipment. We wear gloves, long sleeves, rubber boots and gloves to shield our eyes. All these protections protect us from concrete splatters that could damage our overall health and well being.

 

We follow the steps listed below as an integral part of our process:

 

Step 1 - Onsite Preparation

We follow the same process regardless of the size project we are working on. Each project we take on begins by preparing the area. Before we begin, we clear up all debris and clean the site. As part the preparation process, all materials must be on-site. The transportation of materials is scheduled before actual work begins. This allows us start and complete the project in a time.

 

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

Once the site is clean and ready, we move on with the installation of concrete forms using wire mesh. Concrete forms are strong barriers that hold concrete mix in the right place. Concrete mixes are forced to conform to a specific shape or shape. Rebar is used for strengthening concrete structures that are larger. This helps ensure stronger concrete surfaces.

 

Step 3: Mixing Concrete Mix

Concrete trucks are used to simplify life. It also helps in ensuring concrete materials are properly mixed. Sometimes, we do manual mixing. For the majority of projects an concrete mixer will be required.

 

Step 4: Pouring Concrete

After we have finished mixing concrete, we then pour the concrete slab into our forms. It is important to be careful as we pour the concrete mix in order to avoid creating too many air pockets. Air pockets are caused by too much mortar not being placed over the aggregate. Concrete is created by spreading the mix uniformly throughout the form.
