Final Gravel Compaction & Rebar Placement

What happens here

After the gravel is spread, the plate compactor (Wacker Neuson) is used once more to thoroughly compact the gravel sub-base, ensuring a dense and stable foundation for the concrete. Following this final compaction, rebar mesh is carefully laid out on top of the compacted gravel. Small wooden blocks or rebar chairs are strategically placed to slightly elevate the mesh, ensuring it will be embedded in the middle of the concrete slab's thickness. This precise positioning provides essential tensile strength and resistance to cracking.

Goal: Prepare the final sub-base and install reinforcement for structural integrity.
