Concrete
Creating a quality foundation for your business.
After the slab has been poured we will again do a quality check to determine what work would need to be performed to get the slab ready for the framers that follow us. This could be grinding any high spots or fixing stem walls to insure a level area for the plate to be installed, just to name a couple.
If need be we will replace any hardware that may have moved during the pour, this work would be done just prior to frame inspection.
Next we place all steel rebar and hold down bolts, as specified in the plans. Then we place the post tension cables as well as double check all measurements to make sure the slab meets all design criteria in preparation for final inspection before pouring the slab.
Once the final inspection has been obtained we will schedule the pour along with notification to the builder superintendent of our intent to pour. If the builder superintendent agrees with the pour date we then proceed with pouring the slab.
Finally, we perform any touch-up work the builder may require from a concrete standpoint. This is done to insure the end customer receives the finished product they are expecting and happy with.
STEPS PROVIDED DURING CONCRETE INSTALLATION
We first layout and trench footings at desired location and make the sure have placed the slab location as noted on plot sheet provided.
Secondly we backfill plumbing trenches and grade the pad to the specifications denoted on the plans. This is done by utilizing a base comprised of a fine aggregate that is compacted as well as a thick plastic barrier to help eliminate moisture penetrating beneath the slab once concrete has been poured.
