Frequently asked questions
What are the steps involved in the concreting process
At Goulburn River Concrete, we follow a proven process to ensure every job is completed to the highest standard:
- Excavation and Site Preparation – We begin by preparing the site, which may include excavation or a site cut to create a stable, level base.
- Crushed Rock Base – A layer of crushed rock is laid and compacted to provide solid ground support for the concrete.
- Formwork and Steel Fixing – Next, we set up the formwork and steel reinforcement to give the concrete its shape and structural strength.
- Concrete Pouring – Once everything is ready, concrete is poured the coming days to complete the slab or structure.
This step-by-step process ensures a durable, long-lasting finish.
Why you need professional concreters
Your concrete needs to be perfectly set. Hiring a professional ensures that your concrete will be skillfully poured and will withstand the test of time. Concrete work requires a lot of specialised equipment, and the cost of purchasing and producing a modest quantity of concrete might also be high. It will be far less effective without the necessary expertise or specialised equipment. Overall, professional concreting provides durability, style, quality, and affordability. A concreting specialist can help you if you want to enhance your property’s durability or aesthetics.
How long does concrete take to cure?
Although concrete needs about a month to fully cure, it usually is ready to use in a short duration. Due to variations in the weather, concrete mix, placement, and finishing methods, each project will change significantly. After between 24 and 48 hours, your concrete should be sturdy enough to walk on without leaving any traces. Your concrete should have reached at least 70% of its full strength after seven days of curing. It should be safe to drive over, but you might want to wait before rolling large pieces of machinery over it. You can treat your concrete as fully hardened after 28 days.
Can you pour concrete in the rain?
Usually, the answer is no. We can only pour concrete in the rain, in limited circumstances. For example: If the area is covered by a roof.
How long does a new driveway installation take to complete?
The preliminary work significantly impacts the time needed to install a new driveway. Most driveways may be installed within two days once the land has been prepared. Your concrete driveway needs time to set completely for it to be durable. The thickness of the slab, the foundation used, and environmental factors affect how long it takes for the concrete to be fully set. However, you can walk on your driveway after 2 days. After seven days, you can use 'light' vehicles on the driveway, but you should avoid using heavier ones. Your driveway should be fully set and suitable for use after 30 days.
