Our team was commissioned to complete a high-strength concrete pour for a new double garage base, designed to withstand heavy use and long-term structural demands. The specification called for a reinforced slab using both steel reinforcement and a C35 fibre-reinforced concrete mix to deliver maximum durability.
Scope of Works
The project involved:
- Excavation and ground preparation to ensure a level and stable sub-base
- Installation of steel reinforcement mesh throughout the entire slab area
- Use of a C35 strength concrete mix, enhanced with polypropylene fibres to reduce cracking and improve surface integrity
- A seamless concrete pour and finish, ensuring a clean, level base ready for further development
Challenges and Solutions
The pour required precision and planning to ensure the reinforcement mesh was correctly positioned and securely supported before the concrete was delivered. Our team worked efficiently to pour and level the concrete in a single, continuous operation, avoiding cold joints and ensuring a uniform finish.
Weather conditions on the day were warm and dry, so we implemented controlled curing procedures to prevent rapid moisture loss and reduce the risk of surface shrinkage.
Materials Used
- Concrete: C35 strength mix with added fibre reinforcement
- Steel reinforcement: A142 mesh (custom size available on request)
- Sub-base: Compacted Type 1 MOT
Results
- A high-strength, reinforced concrete slab tailored for heavy-duty use
- Clean, level finish, ready for the erection of a double garage structure
- Project completed within a single day, with curing and protection measures in place
Client Feedback
“Excellent job by the team – solid, professional, and built to last. We’re really pleased with the result and the finish.”
Conclusion
This project demonstrates our ability to deliver structurally sound and future-proof concrete foundations. By combining steel reinforcement with a high-spec C35 fibre mix, we created a durable base capable of supporting a wide range of loads — ideal for vehicle storage, workshops, or home extensions.
