Reinforcement prevents the concrete from cracking, buckling and caving in when a load is placed on it by improving the tensile strength of the concrete and making it more durable.

Ensure the reinforcement bars, spacers and ties are installed in accordance with the approved building plans.

A professional should be engaged to pour the concrete from a reputable pre-mix company. This will ensure that the concrete is at the specified strength. Prior to pouring, soak the slab bed with water to prevent moisture loss.
