Process
- Removal of Existing Concrete:
- Our concrete division, Redimere Surface Solutions, commenced the project by meticulously removing the eroded concrete base. This step was crucial to ensure a clean and stable foundation for the new concrete work.
- Form Setup:
- Once the old base was removed, our crew immediately set forms to guide the new concrete pour. Accurate form setting is essential to creating a level and durable surface.
- Quick-Setting Concrete Installation:
- Due to the time-sensitive nature of the project, we chose a quick-setting concrete mix. This solution allowed us to significantly reduce the curing time and get the facility back in service quickly.
