Concrete slab and base construction — sub-base preparation, reinforcement, shuttering, pour, vibration and finish. Work covers domestic shed and garage bases, agricultural and machinery slabs, yard slabs, and power-floated industrial floors laid to specified falls, thickness and reinforcement.
Concrete Slabs & Bases — Full Scope
What is concrete slabs & bases?
A concrete slab is built up from a compacted stone sub-base, a blinding or membrane layer, reinforcement where required, and a concrete pour finished to the specified surface — tamped, brushed or power-floated. Falls are set so water runs off external slabs. Rayco Civils lays shed bases, yard slabs and industrial floors across Ireland.
Concrete Slabs & Bases — Frequently Asked Questions
How thick should a shed or garage base be?
Thickness depends on the loads it will carry and the ground beneath it — a garden shed base and a slab carrying machinery or a tractor are not the same. Thickness, mesh and mix are set for the intended use.
Does a slab need reinforcement mesh?
Most slabs carrying vehicles, machinery or a building above are reinforced. Reinforcement controls cracking and helps the slab span local soft spots in the ground.
Why do concrete slabs crack?
Cracking usually comes from shrinkage as concrete cures, movement in the ground beneath, or missing joints and reinforcement. Correct sub-base preparation, reinforcement and joint spacing keep it under control.
How soon can a new slab be used?
Foot traffic is normally possible the following day, with heavier loading later as the concrete gains strength. Timing follows the mix and the engineer's guidance where the slab is structural.
