Our Process
After careful site evaluations, we determine if we are able to back the concrete truck up to your project or if we need to buggy the concrete from the street to your pour location. Once the concrete has been placed, Adam’s Mud Jacking and Piering screeds at least two times in order to level the surface. We immediately bull float at a perpendicular direction to what we screeded to remove any possible high and low spots.
Adam’s Mud Jacking and Piering finish all of our concrete by bull floating after screeding. Next, we finish all of our concrete by bull floating after screeding. We then spray the surface with a special mix to enable an exposed aggregate finish. We then hand tool all control joints once the surface is firm enough. This insures you don’t get the typical breakage that occurs from saw cutting the joints. After that, we power wash the surface leaving the aggregate finish. This is a great finish for outdoor use such as driveways, walks, and patios. This helps to insure a slip resistance finish.
Concrete is a construction material composed of cement (commonly Portland cement) as well as other cementitious materials such as fly ash and slag cement, aggregate (generally a coarse aggregate such as gravel, limestone, or granite, plus a fine aggregate such as sand), water, and chemical admixtures. The word concrete comes from the Latin word “concretus” (meaning compact or condensed), the past participle of “concresco”, from “com-” (together) and “cresco” (to grow).
Concrete solidifies and hardens after mixing with water and placement due to a chemical process known as hydration. The water reacts with the cement, which bonds the other components together, eventually creating a stone-like material. Concrete is used to make pavements, architectural structures, foundations, motorways/roads, bridges/overpasses, parking structures, brick/block walls and footings for gates, fences and poles.
Concrete is used more than any other man-made material in the world. As of 2006, about 7.5 cubic kilometers of concrete are made each year—more than one cubic meter for every person on Earth. Concrete powers a US $35-billion industry which employs more than two million workers in the United States alone. More than 55,000 miles (89,000 km) of highways in the United States are paved with this material. The People’s Republic of China currently consumes 40% of the world’s cement/concrete production. Reinforced concrete and pre-stressed concrete are the most widely used modern kinds of concrete functional extensions.
