Alunia Construction can help you with clearances, groundworks, formwork and foundations. Here, we explain why steel fixing and steel reinforcement are vital components in the field of reinforced concrete construction.
Why is steel reinforcement important in concrete?
Imagine a cake without eggs or flour. It would crumble under the slightest pressure, right? Similarly, concrete without steel reinforcement lacks the necessary strength and durability to withstand the pressure of heavy loads.
Steel rebars and mesh are the backbone of reinforced concrete structures, providing added strength and stability to the build. By strategically placing steel reinforcement within the concrete, we can create a robust composite material capable of bearing heavy loads and resisting cracks. This makes our services ideal for both domestic and commercial projects in Eastbourne.
Remember that we offer a full service experience to cover the clearing of the land space, excavating and moving earth, undertaking the groundworks stage of the project, creating formwork and laying the foundations for property builds, reinforced concrete basements and concrete retaining walls.
Domestic and Commercial Steel Fixing
When it comes to domestic projects, steel reinforcement plays a key role in constructing solid foundations. From cosy family homes to charming bungalows, the team at Alunia Construction ensures your dream property stands strong for generations to come. We expertly design and install reinforced concrete foundations to give your home a solid and secure base.
On the other hand, on commercial projects such as office buildings, schools, or shopping centres, steel fixing becomes even more critical. These structures often require larger spans and higher load-bearing capacities. Our skilled steel fixing team meticulously places steel reinforcement to strengthen the concrete and meet the specific structural requirements of each project.
