Slab-on-Grade & Building Pads

Large slabs reward planning. Cal-Crete sequences pours, joint layouts and dowel placements around the building program so the next trade can start on a flat, square and fully documented surface.

Scope of work

What we deliver

  • Reinforced slab-on-grade
  • Building pads with dowels for CMU & tilt-up walls
  • Thickened edges & interior footings
  • Control, construction & isolation joints
  • Vapor retarders & capillary break
  • Equipment & housekeeping pads

Pour planning

Pour breaks, joint patterns and placement sequence are laid out in advance with the GC, the structural engineer and the ready-mix supplier, so truck scheduling, pump locations and finishing crews are matched to the size of each placement.

Ready for the next trade

Dowels, embeds, sleeves and block-outs are surveyed and checked before placement. The result is a slab the masonry, tilt-up or steel crew can build on without rework.
