Prep Materials

Before starting any project, it’s essential to prepare the area correctly to ensure the concrete lasts longer and to minimize the risk of cracks. We provide the necessary materials for prepping your space according to the soil conditions and the intended use of the concrete slab.

Anchor Bolts

used to attach objects or structures to concrete

Concrete Bricks

made from a mixture of cement and aggregate, usually sand, formed into molds and then cured

Curing Compounds

used to help prevent the loss of moisture content from the concrete

Dowel Rods

round steel bars placed in construction joints of concrete pavements to help transfer loading between individual slabs, permitting horizontal movement of the slab during contraction after the pavement is laid and in response to temperature fluctuations

Form Pins

stakes without holes used with steel and plastic forms for concrete forming

Forming Materials

plywood, steel, aluminum and composite materials are used for both vertical and horizontal forming systems, and behind these panels are an assortment of strong-backs, whalers and trusses that are also made from wood, steel or aluminum

Grade Stakes

steel grade stakes designed to be driven into the hardest sub-grades and will never crack, splinter or shatter

Key Way

used in joints in concrete pavement that serve to control cracking from stresses caused by changes in concrete from moisture and thermal gradient

Nails and Screws

Nails are used to attach a structure to concrete slabs and can be done manually or with a gun-style power nailer. Screws can be used with a drill and a special technique to penetrate concrete at an exact depth.

Pigs Feet

also known as steel wedge clamps, these are stamped steel plates with a slot to accept the button end of a snap tie

Polyethleyne Vapor Barrier

used for securing ceilings, roofs and walls against water vapor penetration

Rebar

steel bars used in concrete construction to add reinforcement and long-term strength to the concrete used to build foundations, walls, pools and other structures

Rebar Chairs

a patented polypropylene support system ideal for concrete applications requiring a 6 to 8 inch slab that ensures accurate positioning of rebar during concrete placement

Rubber Expansion Joint

a durable and flexible expansion joint for concrete

Slab Straps

used in a foundation or slab and are a type of footing, consisting of two or more column footings connected by a concrete beam

Snap Ties

tension members that are designed to resist the lateral pressure of fresh concrete on vertical forms

Sonotube

large, cylindrical cardboard tube used as a mold for pouring concrete to form solid, round columns or pillars

Tie Wire

soft metal wire used during various stages of construction to secure different materials together; most commonly used to secure rebar prior to the placement of concrete

Turn Buckles

used to align concrete walls, columns or beams to ensure a straight wall after pouring

Wire Mats

provide reinforcement for concrete structures, erosion control, or can serve as fencing

Wood Stakes

used in the forming process
