What happens here
With the base prepared, the first pre-manufactured concrete stair tread can now be installed. Use the excavator, fitted with yellow Keeper lifting straps, to carefully lift and lower the heavy concrete tread into its exact position on the prepared and compacted base. Two workers guide the tread into place. Once set, use a level to double-check that the tread is perfectly level from side to side and front to back. Adjustments may involve slightly shifting the tread or adding/removing small amounts of base material underneath. This first step is foundational, as all subsequent steps will align with it.
Goal: Accurately place and level the initial concrete stair tread.
