Slab preparation is the work involved in preparing a piece of land for construction to begin. This is a necessary step before any type of building work can take place.
To ensure a successful build, you need stable and level ground to work on. Without this, it will be almost impossible to lay stable foundations. Slab preparation work really does have an effect on the rest of the build.
Of course, the exact nature of the work required in the slab preparation stage will depend on the nature of the worksite.
Slab preparation could include removing slopes and levelling uneven surfaces, heavy-duty digging to find the most stable ground for a building’s foundations, drainage, or laying concrete slab bases.
Typically, specialist equipment for digging and earthmoving is required for this type of work, even for smaller-scale projects.
