Concrete Slab after rainfall

Posted on the July 1st, 2009 under First Stages by admin

Well, as predicted we had another full day of rainfall. This makes for a very difficult slab finish. Luckily our concrete crew had about an hour and a half window of no rain. This allowed for them to finish the slab and get it covered. Anytime you mix rain with concrete the result is never pretty. The slab is still showing some white rock through to the top layer. A urethane coating will be applied to the slab to ensure a smooth and protected finish. The garage floor will receive a fresh finsh and a half layer of new concrete called a concrete cap. This will ensure a very nice finish to the floor of the garage.
