Stage 4 – Preparation of site

All projects have to be properly prepared before any concrete can be poured. Preparation usually takes between 1-2 days, however this may alter on larger projects, or projects that require more groundwork to be undertaken, i.e. removal of trees, shrubs or bushes and drainage work.

This process is started with the excavation of the existing surface. Machinery will be used where required.

Once the site has been excavated, any manholes, gullies and drainage will be installed.

Hardcore will be spread across the area before being compacted to form a level solid base on which to pour the concrete. Shuttering will be installed around the perimeter of the job to form the framework to pour the concrete in.
