Site Preparation
- Clear the area of any debris, vegetation, or existing pavement.
- Excavate and grade the subgrade to ensure proper drainage and a stable foundation for the concrete.
Formwork Installation
- Set up the formwork, which is a mold or frame that defines the shape and dimensions of the concrete structure.
Reinforcement Placement
- A layer of aggregate material, known as the subbase, may be added to further support the asphalt layer.
Concrete Mixing
- Prepare the concrete mixture, typically consisting of cement, aggregates (such as sand and gravel), water, and sometimes additives or admixtures.
Concrete Pouring
- Pour the concrete into the prepared formwork, ensuring even distribution and proper consolidation.
Finishing
- Level and smooth the surface of the concrete using tools like screeds and floats.
- Optionally, add decorative finishes or textures, or stamp patterns into the surface for aesthetic purposes.
Curing
- Protect the freshly poured concrete from premature drying by applying curing compounds or covering it with wet burlap, curing blankets, or similar materials.
- Allow the concrete to cure properly to achieve its desired strength.
Jointing
- Create control joints in the concrete to control cracking. These joints are typically planned and cut into the surface to encourage controlled cracking in specific locations.
Sealing
- Apply a sealer to the cured concrete surface to enhance its durability, resist stains, and protect it from the effects of weather and other environmental factors.
