concrete slabs


Making concrete slab is the hardest part in the upstairs building constructions. However the form work and the iron mesh are the most important parts of the concrete slab the form work should be correctly done and the electrical and plumbing should be properly layer to the form work without disturbing the structure of the concrete slab. 
In the end should be fixed to the meson worker to check whether they are doing the job very well and up to the standers. In most cases they did whatever they want to do in the site and make a disaster for us. Recently I’ve visited house in Piliyandala; the wall of the house was cracked due to the lack of strength in the load bearing columns around the house. Actually most of the walls cracked and ready to fall down. In that kind of situation we have no choice we have to remake the whole structure and redo the concrete slab to maintain the structure long last.












other than everything in the slab before the concreting i like the naked slab form work with electrical and iron mesh........ its fascinating texture

  1. It is important to have adequate 'cover' (concrete mix below steel reinforcement) for structural stability. Therefore, it is good practice to lay the electrical conduits above steel mesh in a concrete slab.

  2. Concrete and gunite pools require periodic annual or semi annual pool draining for cleaning purposes.Aufstellbecken
