Getting the Ground Ready Before You Build
A slab is only as good as the ground it's poured onto, which makes proper preparation one of the most important steps in any build. At Lunson Contracting, we provide slab preparation across Launceston and the surrounding region, including excavation, levelling and compaction ahead of pouring. We work to the levels and specifications your project requires, checking the site is properly prepared before concrete goes down. Slab preparation often follows on from broader excavation once a site has been cleared and cut to shape. To get your site ready for a slab, call us on 0400 228 556 for a free quote.
Enquire NowWhat's Involved in Preparing a Site for a Slab
Slab preparation covers several steps before a build is ready for concrete.
- 01
We excavate and level the site to the required depth, removing any unsuitable material along the way. This creates a stable, even base for the slab to sit on.
- 02
Compaction firms up the base so it can properly support the weight of the slab and everything built on top of it. Poor compaction is one of the more common causes of slab problems later on.
- 03
Drainage and fall are considered during preparation, helping direct water away from the slab once it's in place. This step is easy to overlook but affects the site for years afterwards.
- 04
We prepare sites for sheds, garages, extensions and full house slabs alike. Each job is worked to the specifications supplied for that particular build.
