The Concrete Installation Process Explained

  1. Preparation All subgrade excavation, compaction, formwork, and placement of mesh or rebar are completed before the concrete mix arrives. Forms are then placed around the pour area.
  2. Pouring Concrete is poured directly using the truck’s chute or with wheelbarrows, buggies, or pumps if the location is out of reach. Foothills Paving and Maintenance uses 4,500 PSI concrete with fibermesh for superior quality.
  3. Screeding Concrete is consolidated and leveled using a straightedge (screed) to fill low spots and reduce high spots, ensuring the top surface is at the proper grade.
  4. Floating Bullfloating eliminates high and low spots and embeds large aggregate particles. This step levels and prepares the surface for further finishing. Troweling is only necessary for specific end uses, such as sidewalks and driveways.
  5. Edging Edges are rounded using an edging tool to create durable, rounded edges.
  6. Jointing Contraction joints control random cracks by guiding them to the weakest part of the concrete structure. Joints are made with a hand groover or by inserting materials into the unhardened concrete. Sawcut joints are made after the concrete hardens.
  7. Texturing A broom finish provides surface texture to prevent slickness, done when the concrete has hardened enough to retain the scoring impression.
  8. Curing Maintaining the necessary moisture content and temperature (50-75°F) is crucial for curing, which affects the concrete’s durability, strength, and resistance to various factors. Proper curing ensures good hydration and quality within the first few days after placement.
