At Power Tech Construction, we offer a wide range of specialised services designed to meet the varied needs of our clients. From the preparation of durable concrete surfaces to advanced finishing techniques, we bring precision and expertise to every aspect of our work. Below is an overview of some of our key services, providing insight into the meticulous processes we employ to deliver exceptional results.
Preparation of Yard Slabs
The preparation of yard slabs is a fundamental aspect of ensuring a durable, level, and aesthetically pleasing surface. This process involves careful groundwork, including excavation, compaction, and levelling, all of which are essential to the slab’s longevity and performance. We work meticulously to create a solid foundation that will support the concrete slab and prevent future issues such as cracking or uneven settling. Proper drainage solutions are also incorporated to manage surface water and maintain the slab’s integrity over time. At Power Tech Construction, we understand the importance of getting this phase right to ensure the long-term success of your project.
Shuttering
Shuttering, also known as formwork or moulds, is a critical stage in the construction of concrete slabs. It involves creating temporary structures that hold the wet concrete in place while it sets and hardens. The quality of shuttering directly influences the shape, strength, and finish of the slab. We use robust materials and skilled techniques to construct precise moulds that ensure the concrete takes the desired form, with smooth edges and consistent depth. Our team at Power Tech Construction is highly experienced in all types of shuttering, guaranteeing a professional finish for both simple and complex projects.
Finishing Decks & Slabs
Finishing decks and slabs is a crucial step that determines the final appearance and functionality of the concrete surface. Power floating is a widely-used method to achieve a smooth, level finish on large concrete surfaces. This technique not only improves the aesthetics of the concrete but also enhances its durability and wear resistance. Our team is skilled in using power float machines to create seamless finishes on decks, slabs, and other expansive surfaces, ensuring a high-quality, professional look that stands the test of time.
Power Float Smooth Finish
A “power float smooth finish” refers to the use of specialised power float machines to achieve a sleek, polished surface on concrete floors. This process is typically employed on commercial and industrial floors where a smooth, hard-wearing finish is essential. The power float machine works by using rotating blades to level and smooth the concrete, providing a flawless finish that is both functional and visually appealing. At Power Tech Construction, we are experts in applying this technique to deliver premium-quality smooth finishes on all types of concrete surfaces.
Power Float Glass Finish
For clients seeking an ultra-smooth, reflective surface, we offer a “power float glass finish.” This process involves additional passes with the power float machine, combined with polishing techniques, to create a glass-like sheen on the concrete surface. Ideal for high-end commercial or residential applications, this finish not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the floor but also adds to its durability and ease of maintenance. Power Tech Construction is well-equipped to achieve these high-end finishes, transforming ordinary concrete into an elegant, polished feature.
Brush Finishing
A “brush finish” is a popular technique in concrete finishing where a broom or brush is dragged over the surface of wet concrete to create a textured, non-slip finish. This method is often used for outdoor surfaces, such as driveways, walkways, and patios, where traction is important. The brush finish offers a practical solution for areas exposed to the elements, while still providing a clean and visually appealing look. Power Tech Construction’s team has extensive experience in delivering precise brush finishes that balance function with aesthetics.
Laser Screed
A laser screed is a state-of-the-art piece of equipment used to level and finish large concrete slabs with exceptional precision. This technology ensures that the slab is perfectly flat and level, which is particularly important in commercial and industrial settings where exact tolerances are required. By using a laser screed, we are able to complete large-scale concrete pours quickly and accurately, reducing labour costs and ensuring a flawless result. Power Tech Construction is proud to offer this advanced technology to our clients, providing an unrivalled level of accuracy and efficiency in concrete slab construction.
Internal Power Float
The term “internal power float” refers to the use of power floating techniques for interior concrete surfaces, such as warehouse floors, basements, or commercial spaces. This process involves smoothing and levelling the concrete to create a hard-wearing, easy-to-clean surface that is ideal for high-traffic areas. At Power Tech Construction, we understand the importance of achieving the perfect finish on internal floors, and our team is skilled in using power float machinery to deliver consistent, high-quality results for any indoor concrete project.
At Power Tech Construction, our range of services is designed to meet the diverse needs of our clients, whether it’s creating a durable outdoor slab or achieving a high-end polished finish for a commercial floor. Our team is committed to delivering top-tier workmanship with every project, ensuring that our clients receive long-lasting, professional results every time.
