Reinforced Concrete

Reinforced concrete, fixed and poured

Reinforcement fixing, formwork, ground bearing and suspended slabs, pile caps, ground beams, walls and structural RC works. Tonbane pours to the engineer's drawing with the reinforcement inspected before the shutter closes, on schemes from a 375k Thames Water slab upward.

What Is Included

Every reinforced concrete package, covered

Reinforcement fixing

Rebar scheduled, delivered and fixed to the bending schedule, with cover, laps and spacers checked and photographed before the pre pour inspection.

Formwork and shuttering

Traditional and system formwork set to line and level, propped and braced for the pour pressure rather than for the look of it, and struck to the striking times on the mix design.

Slabs, beams and pile caps

Ground bearing slabs, suspended slabs, ground beams, pile caps and RC walls, poured, vibrated and finished to the specified tolerance and surface class.

Pour management and curing

Pour sequencing, pump booking, construction joints where the engineer wants them, and curing and protection through the first days rather than a cover thrown on at knocking off time.

Questions

Asked and answered

Do you fix your own reinforcement or subcontract it?

Our own. Steel fixing, formwork and the pour sit inside the same package, which is the point: when one contractor owns the rebar, the shutter and the concrete, the pre pour inspection is not a negotiation between three parties.

What tolerances and surface finishes can you work to?

Whatever the specification calls for, agreed before the pour rather than after. Where a slab is a wearing surface or takes a follow on finish, the surface class and the flatness requirement get confirmed at the pre start so the right finishing plant is booked.

Can you pour a large slab in one visit?

Usually, subject to access and the pump. The Amersham slab for Thames Water was level and grade, crushed stone sub base, reinforcement, formwork and concrete as one package, which is the normal shape of these jobs for us.

Do you handle the pile caps and ground beams as well as the slab?

Yes. Pile trimming, caps, ground beams and the slab over them are all part of the RC package, and doing them together keeps the setting out consistent from the pile positions up.

How is the concrete supply arranged?

We book the mix, the pump and the delivery windows against the pour sequence, and we do it around the site restrictions in London rather than assuming a wagon can sit outside all morning.
