What are concrete slabs?

 

Concrete slabs are a very popular structural element in buildings. It is a thick, flat, horizontal concrete surface typically used for a floor or a roof. Concrete slabs are employed in certain residential buildings for support of the foundation or directly on ground.

 

 

Our Concrete Slab Installation Process

 

Concrete installations can be difficult when you don't have the experience and skills for them. Port St. Lucie Concrete Contractors adhere to strict concrete slab installation methods that are in line with industry standards and local codes.

 

Safety is the top priority when working on concrete projects. Prior to beginning any work, we ensure that we are properly outfitted with safety gear. We are equipped with gloves with long sleeves, long pants, and rubber boots. All of these safeguards protect us from concrete splashes that can damage our overall health and well-being.

 

The steps below must be strictly performed as part of the process.

 

Step 1: Onsite preparation

We use the same procedure regardless of the size concrete slab we're working on. All projects start with preparing the area. To start fresh we tidy up and dispose of any waste. We ensure that all materials are ready to be used during the preparation phase. We schedule the delivery of materials before the actual project begins. This allows us to start and complete the project on-time.

 

Step 2 Create Concrete Forms and Reinforce Concrete Slabs using Stahl

Once the site is cleaned and is ready to be installed, we use wire mesh to construct concrete forms. Concrete forms are solid barriers which help to hold the concrete mix in place. Concrete forms force wet concrete to adopt a certain shape or design. To reinforce concrete using reinforced concrete, we mix it with rebar. This ensures stronger concrete surfaces.

 

Step 3: Mixing Concrete Mix

Concrete trucks make life easier. This ensures the concrete material is correctly mixed. Sometimes, we do manual mixing. Concrete mixers are required for the majority of projects.

 

Step 4: Pouring Concrete

Once we are done mixing concrete, the concrete slab is poured into the forms. We do it carefully as we pour the concrete mix in order to ensure that we do not create too many air pockets. Air pockets can form when there is not enough mortar to fill the gaps around the aggregate. When pouring concrete, it is important to ensure that we distribute the mix throughout the shape. We never fail to fill a space.
