Custom Slab Engineering Solutions
Specialised Application Design Heavy-duty industrial requirements, chemical-resistant systems, high-precision tolerances, and specialised finishes all receive custom engineering solutions designed for your specific needs.
Site-Specific Engineering: Challenging soil conditions, slope stability, existing structure integration, and environmental factors all influence design. We develop solutions that work with your site’s unique conditions.
Professional Slab Construction Process
Comprehensive Site Preparation
Excavation and Ground Preparation: Accurate excavation to engineering specifications sets the foundation for quality results. We handle proper subgrade preparation, utility coordination, and drainage system integration that prevent future problems.
Foundation and Base Preparation We select appropriate base materials, install vapour barriers and moisture protection, construct edge beams and footings, and place reinforcement according to engineering specifications. Every step receives verification before proceeding.
Expert Slab Installation
Quality Concrete Placement Using appropriate concrete grades from 25-40 MPa, we ensure professional delivery, placement, consolidation, and finishing. Our joint cutting and sealing procedures prevent cracking and ensure long-term performance.
Precision Construction Standards We achieve level and grade accuracy, consistent surface finish quality, and dimensional accuracy that meets specifications. Quality control continues throughout the entire construction process.
Slab Performance and Durability
Long-Term Performance Optimisation
Durability Design Features Proper concrete cover, chemical resistance, thermal movement accommodation, and moisture protection systems ensure your slab performs for decades without costly repairs or maintenance.
Performance Monitoring and Maintenance We provide regular inspection recommendations, preventive maintenance programs, and performance optimisation guidance to maximise your slab’s service life and performance.
Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures your concrete slab remains in excellent condition for decades. Promptly clean spills to prevent staining, and regularly sweep away debris that could cause surface damage. For general cleaning, use mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals. Inspect yearly for small cracks and address them quickly to prevent expansion. In Canberra’s climate, occasional resealing every 2-3 years is recommended for exposed or decorative surfaces. Maintain proper drainage around your slab to prevent water damage. With these basic care steps, your Concreting Canberra Pro slab will maintain its strength and appearance for decades.
Concrete Slab FAQs
The timeline varies depending on size and complexity. A standard residential slab typically takes 1-3 days for preparation and pouring, plus 7-10 days for proper curing before it can bear weight.
Light foot traffic is usually possible after 24-48 hours, but full curing takes about 28 days. Construction on the slab should wait at least 7 days, and heavy loads should be avoided for the full 28-day cure period.
Residential slabs are typically 100-150mm thick, while commercial applications may require 150-200mm or more depending on intended use and load requirements.
We use proper reinforcement, control joints, quality concrete mixes, and appropriate curing techniques. While minor hairline cracks may still occur due to natural settling, our methods minimise significant cracking.
Yes, we offer concrete removal services and can handle the disposal of old concrete before preparing the site for your new slab.
We use higher-grade concrete mixes with proper reinforcement and expert finishing techniques. While budget options might save money initially, our professional slabs offer superior durability, fewer repairs, and a longer lifespan—providing better value over time.
We can handle most site preparation if needed like clear access to the site, removal of any vegetation or obstacles, and marking underground utilities are helpful.
