How does PS custom Foundation do your foundation concrete work

How does PS custom Foundation do your foundation concrete work?

We start our proceedings by properly analyzing the concrete forming before pouring it into the concrete foundation. If we see any inconsistencies in the concrete forming, we take the necessary steps to correct them before starting the main work. The truth is if we overlook these inspections and do the pouring in regardless, no matter how great the foundation pouring may be, it will not be effective since the forming was poorly done.

After inspection, we get ready for the pouring. We ensure that all we need to pour the concrete in effectively are available. We usually have our pump truck and trailer pump ready to use, but it also depends on the location. We also take along our ready-mix trucks, which typically contain about 25 MPa concrete.

Sometimes, we make exceptions to bring a pump truck with a boom hose for foundation designs that need precise concreting. Ultimately, we ensure the forms are well filled smoothly, and there are no glitches.

We are loud about what we do at PS custom because we prioritize high-quality concrete work and want many people to enjoy this excellence.
