What are concrete slabs?

Our Concrete Slab Installation Process

 

Concrete installation can be challenging when one does not have the required skills. Port St. Lucie Concrete Contractors follows an exact concrete slab construction process that adheres strictly to local codes as well as industry standards.

 

Safety is the first priority for us in all of our concrete projects. We make sure that we've got all necessary safety equipment prior to we start any project. Eye protection, long sleeves, long pants, rubber boots gloves, and gloves are all part of our safety equipment. All these protect us from concrete splashes, that could affect our overall health and well-being.

 

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

 

Step 1 - Preparation on the spot

We always follow the same method regardless of how big a project you are working on. All projects start with preparing the site. We clean the area and dispose of debris so that we can begin with a clean slate. We make sure the materials are on site in preparation. We arrange the transportation of materials prior to the actual construction. This helps us start and complete the work on time.

 

Step 2: Reinforce concrete slab with steel and build concrete forms

Once the site is cleared and prepared, we will move on to the installation of concrete forms constructed of wire mesh. Concrete forms are solid blocks that keep concrete mix in place. It also forces wet concrete to take on a specific shape or form. To reinforce concrete using reinforced concrete, we mix it by using the help of rebar. This allows for stronger concrete surfaces.

 

Step 3: Mixing Concrete Mix

Concrete trucks make life easier. It also helps ensure concrete materials are properly mixed. Sometimes, we do manual mixing. Concrete mixers are required for the majority of projects.

 

Step 4: Pouring Concrete

When we're done mixing concrete then the concrete slab is then poured into the molds. It is important to take care that there are not too many air pockets when pouring concrete. The formation of air pockets is due to lack of mortar to fill the spaces surrounding the aggregate. When pouring concrete, we make sure we spread the mix throughout the form, not missing one spot.
