Concrete Driveway Construction Process

1. Excavation & Subgrade Preparation

The subgrade is excavated and prepared to ensure a uniform and compact surface. This helps to provide the required support for the loads on the driveway from vehicles and helps prevent cracks in slabs.

2. Formwork and reinforcement

For the best structural capacity of the driveway, reinforced concrete slabs are used. Rebar (wire mesh) is placed along with formwork in preparation for pouring the slab. Blocks are placed under the rebar to hold it at the right height within the concrete.

3. Quality Concrete

Concrete Driveways Adelaide uses only quality ready-mix concrete for the construction of concrete driveways. Random cracking problems are avoided by the use of the correct concrete mix. The minimum thickness recommended for a concrete driveway is 100mm. A 25mm increase improves the structural capacity by 50% for heavier loads.

4. Concrete Driveway Finishing

The poured concrete is levelled by experienced concreters with a screed and then given a smooth finish with hand floating tools. Depending on the type of finish other methods may be used to expose aggregate or add colour. After some curing time control joints are cut into the concrete to avoid issues with random cracks.
