Operational Details
Concrete
construction activities include the installation and removal of forms and
scaffolds followed by the pouring and finishing of concrete. Residential cement
work includes basement foundations, cement pads for patios, driveways,
retaining walls, concrete fences, and sidewalks. Commercial cement work
involves the pouring and finishing of curbs, gutters, columns, dividers and
foundations. Industrial cement work is more complex and may involve an element
of design engineering. Concrete drilling, cutting, guniting, pressure cement
grouting, foam and
mud jacking are included in this industry. Similar to mud jacking, foam jacking involves pumping
foam rather than mud to raise (level) a sunken driveway, building, or floor. Common
equipment includes cement trucks, pumper trucks, portable mixing machines,
compactors, tampers, hand tools, finishing tools, wheelbarrows, shovels,
concrete cutters, jack-hammers, scaffolding and ladders, firm may employ
construction laborers, estimator, and office/administrative staff.Epoxy
flooring is a type of synthetic resin floor system that is poured on top of
concrete as a form of protection; it provides a high performance, smooth and
durable surface that can withstand heavy loads. Epoxy flooring is commonly used
in garages, basements, sun rooms, patios and commercial buildings (auto garages
and dealerships). Installation tools include small hand tools, rollers,
trowels, gauge rakes and blowers, firm may employ flooring laborers, estimator,
and office/administrative staff. Rubber
pavement is a coating of rubberized asphalt concrete also known as asphalt
rubber or crumbed rubber pavement. Applied on driveways, sidewalks, apartment
entrances, public properties such as play-grounds, swimming pools, daycare,
etc. Installation done with rubberized pavement machine, shovel, wheelbarrow,
hand tools, trowels, leveler, small compactor, drills, other hand tools and
safety tools, firm may employ laborers, estimator, office/administrative staff.
Reinforcing
steel and rebar is essential for the durability of cement structures,
buildings, and infrastructure, it decreases cracking and heaving, thereby
enhancing durability of the finished product. Tools used are rebar cutters,
benders, rebar tying tools, lock couplers, hand tools, safety tools, etc. Steel
Specialties offers galvanized steel walls, steel post and other structural
material that is used for containment or steel support structures in
conjunction with concrete work.
