Formwork and Reinforcement
Using precision framework and steel for more durability and strength in construction, formwork is a temporary structure used in concrete works. Its main purpose is to support wet concrete until it hardens.
Steel rebars, or steel mesh, can be embedded into concrete to add to its tensile strength and to improve a build’s structural integrity.
Foundations
Concrete works also cover the pouring of foundations and footings to provide stability and support for a structure while distributing its weight evenly across the ground, especially in weak soil conditions.
Foundations are usually made in reinforced concrete so that the risk of movement, or settlement, won’t compromise the build’s integrity.
Concrete Floors and Slabs
If you are having an extension added to a property in Cobham, Epsom, Horley, Horsham or the surrounding areas, Rise Construction can lay concrete floors and slabs, which are both flat, horizontal surfaces.
Concrete slabs provide structural support whereas a concrete floor is usually an interior surface that property owners can walk on.
