How To Build Concrete Curb By Hand
Concrete Curb can be done by using precast method, but sometimes contractors might choose to use cast-in-situ method too which is casting the concrete curb at construction site. By using cast-in-situ method, it doesn’t require any concrete curbing machine. With that said, the cost can be save from here without using any machinery.
In constructing a longer straight concrete curb at the construction site, it might requires more workers to complete the job on time. With that said, the cost will be increasing on this part. Other than this, contractor must ensures that the workers can complete the casting and make it in shape because the concrete will be fixed in certain period.
How To Build Concrete Curb By Hand
1) Build up the mold or formwork which is in concrete curb shape.
2) Mixing the concrete in correct mixture.
3) Pouring the concrete into the mold or formwork just now.
4) A few of workers are starting to smoothen the concrete curb with a timber plank. Workers must compact the concrete curb so that it won’t be collapsed or cracked easily. Workers must complete this task as soon as possible before the concrete fixed in shape.
5) After the workers have done the concrete works, they might need to take off the formwork or mold after the concrete is fixed in shape. Job is completed and workers have to continue other works like drainage system.
