The Xpert Foundation Repair Process
01

Site Preparation

Before pouring the concrete, we meticulously prepare the area by excavating, ensuring proper drainage, and establishing the correct slope for water runoff.

Formwork Installation

Our skilled team constructs sturdy formwork to outline the shape and dimensions of the driveway or sidewalk accurately. This step ensures that the concrete is poured precisely and in the desired configuration.

03

Reinforcement Placement

To enhance the strength and longevity of the concrete, we strategically place reinforcement materials such as rebar or wire mesh within the formwork.

04

Concrete Mixing & Pouring

We meticulously mix high-quality concrete with the right proportions of aggregates, cement, and water. The concrete is then poured into the formwork, ensuring even distribution and a smooth finish.

05

Finishing Touches

Our expert team carefully levels and smoothens the surface of the concrete, incorporating any desired textures or patterns. We pay close attention to detail to achieve a professional and polished look.

06

When reinforcing concrete slabs, wire mesh and steel rebar serve to bolster strength, durability, and crack resistance. Here’s a breakdown to help decide when to use each:

Wire Mesh
  1. Applications:
    Ideal for lighter loads in residential projects like patios and driveways
  2. Crack Control:
    Helps manage cracks from temperature changes and shrinkage during curing.
  3. Installation Ease:
    Simple handling and installation make it cost-effective for smaller projects.
  4. Support:
    Provides concrete support and load distribution, reducing surface cracking.
Steel Rebar
  1. Heavy-Duty Applications:
    Suited for industrial floors, high-traffic zones, and heavy load-bearing structures.
  2. Strength and Support:
    Offers superior tensile strength and structural support crucial for integrity.
  3. Longevity:
    Enhances lifespan by minimizing cracking, especially in high-stress areas.
  4. Engineered Designs:
    Preferred for projects requiring specific engineering standards or mandated by building codes.
Consideration
  1. Project Requirements:
    Assess load capacity to select the appropriate reinforcement.
  2. Budget:
    Weigh cost-effectiveness based on project needs.
  3. Consultation:
    Seek advice from structural engineers or concrete professionals for guidance.

In essence, wire mesh suits light-duty residential needs, while steel rebar is essential for heavy-duty applications requiring robust strength and durability. Evaluating project specifics ensures informed decisions for optimal concrete slab reinforcement.
