New Concrete Work
New concrete work involves the preparation and pouring of concrete to create foundations, slabs, and other structural elements. This process is essential for ensuring the stability and durability of the building.
Process
Site Preparation
Clear the site of debris and vegetation, and level the ground.
Formwork Installation
Set up formwork to shape the concrete and hold it in place during pouring.
Plumbing and Electrical
Lay out and install plumbing and electrical conduits before pouring the concrete. This step ensures that all necessary utilities are in place and accessible.
Reinforcement
Place reinforcement materials such as rebar or wire mesh to add strength and prevent cracking.
Concrete Pouring
Pour the concrete into the prepared forms, ensuring even distribution and proper filling of all areas.
Leveling and Smoothing
Use tools to level and smooth the surface of the concrete, creating a flat and uniform finish.
Curing
Allow the concrete to cure properly, which involves keeping it moist and protected for a specified period to achieve maximum strength.
Types of Slabs
Different types of concrete slabs are used in commercial construction, each serving a specific purpose and offering unique benefits. Here are the various types of slabs we specialize in:
Monolithic Slabs
Overview: A single pour that forms the foundation, footing, and slab in one continuous process.
Usage: Ideal for flat sites and areas with stable soil conditions. Provides a strong and integrated foundation.
Floating Slabs
Overview: A slab that is poured separately from the footings, allowing it to "float" on the soil.
Usage: Suitable for garages, sheds, and other outbuildings. Accommodates slight soil movement.
T-Shaped Slabs
Overview: Consists of a footing below the frost line and a slab above it, creating a "T" shape in cross-section.
Usage: Common in cold climates where frost heave is a concern. Provides a stable and insulated foundation.
Waffle Slabs
Overview: A slab with a grid of reinforced concrete ribs running in two directions on the underside.
Usage: Used in areas requiring high load-bearing capacity, such as industrial floors and parking garages.
Post-Tensioned Slabs
Overview: Concrete slabs reinforced with steel cables that are tensioned after pouring.
Usage: Ideal for large spans and heavy loads, reducing the amount of required concrete and preventing cracking.
Slab on Grade
Overview: A simple slab poured directly on the prepared ground surface.
Usage: Suitable for flat terrain and used for ground floors of buildings, patios, and driveways.
Hollow-Core Slabs
Overview: Precast slabs with hollow cores running through them to reduce weight and improve insulation.
Usage: Common in multi-story buildings and structures requiring long spans with reduced weight.
Concrete Cutting for Remodeling and Renovations
Concrete cutting is a specialized service used during remodeling and renovations to modify existing concrete structures. This process requires precision and expertise to ensure the integrity of the structure while making necessary changes.
Process
Assessment
Evaluate the existing concrete structure to determine the scope and feasibility of the cutting project.
Marking
Mark the areas to be cut, ensuring accurate measurements and alignment with the renovation plans.
Sawing
Use diamond-tipped saws to make precise cuts in the concrete. Different types of saws, such as handheld saws or walk-behind saws, are used based on the project requirements.
Removing Cut Sections
Carefully remove the cut sections of concrete, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding structure.
Finishing
Smooth the edges of the cut areas and clean the site to prepare for further construction or renovation work.
Applications
Creating Openings
Cutting concrete to create openings for new doors, windows, or utility access.
Modifying Floors
Cutting and removing sections of concrete floors to install new plumbing or electrical systems.
Resizing Structures
Adjusting the size and shape of existing concrete structures to fit new design plans.
