What happens here

Concrete experts Jamie and Nick use a laser level and transit to accurately measure and adjust the sub-base, ensuring it is perfectly graded. They use rakes and shovels to distribute dirt from the skid steer loader, which is operated by the project owner, to achieve the precise final grade. This meticulous process ensures the concrete slab will have uniform thickness and proper drainage.

Goal: Achieve the exact grade for the concrete slab sub-base.

Tools and materials

  • Laser Level — Ensuring precise elevation and grade of the sub-base
  • Rakes — Fine-tuning the dirt distribution and leveling
  • Shovels — Moving dirt manually and fine-grading
  • Skid Steer Loader Kubota — Moving and distributing larger quantities of dirt
  • Dirt/Sand — Adjusting the sub-base to the correct grade

you what I did okay do you need my skid loader I'm not sure I got to set my Transit up okay and I'm going to start shooting some grades out here and um try to get it fine tuned in so he can just come Saturday and pour it so well I'll tell you what I'm going to be here till 10:00 tonight working I got to go I got to fix that road so anytime you need dirt you need anything I'll be in the skid loader okay so I'll leave the I'll leave the key here cuz I am going to go grab Frankie and see about closing up these two holes but now it's all set so we can use all of the sides I'm stay Nick Nick nice to meet you so you guys do you I'll be back after I go to Frankie's house sounds good and then uh we'll go from [Music] so setting the subbase on concrete is very crucial you're going to watch these guys are using a laser for everything they're doing and the reason is if Jamie has the subbase off he's got to order more concrete subbase is cheap concrete is expensive so we got to get that concrete dialed right [Music] in 7 so while they're doing that I'm going to go grab another bucket of sand or two cuz I think I can see that corner over there might need a
