What happens here
Wooden boards are precisely cut, positioned, and securely fastened using wooden stakes driven into the ground to create the perimeter forms for the concrete slab. During this process, a plate compactor (Wacker Neuson) is actively used to compact the exposed ground within the form area, establishing a stable and dense sub-base. A spirit level is repeatedly used to ensure the wooden forms are set to the correct height, guaranteeing a consistent 6-inch depth for the final concrete slab.
Goal: Create accurate perimeter forms and compact the ground for a stable sub-base.
