Preparation & Forming

Preparation and forming are crucial steps in ensuring a successful concrete pour. The process begins with thorough site preparation, including excavation and grading to create a stable base. Next, a sub-base, typically made of compacted gravel or crushed stone, is installed to support the concrete and aid in drainage. Formwork, usually made of wood or metal, is then constructed to define the shape and edges of the concrete pour. This formwork must be precisely positioned and securely anchored to withstand the pressure of the concrete. Proper preparation and forming are essential for achieving a durable, well-shaped concrete structure that meets design specifications.
