Slab & Foundation Prep
We grade, reinforce, and pour commercial slabs to exact specifications—ensuring every surface is load-ready, level, and built to last.
Every solid structure starts with a flawless foundation. At Cerito Development Inc Steel Erection, our slab and foundation prep services lay the groundwork for long-term performance. From subgrade preparation and compaction to rebar placement and precision pours, we deliver foundations that are engineered to handle heavy loads and demanding conditions. Whether you’re planning a warehouse slab, tilt-up panel base, or multi-story pad, our team ensures the foundation is rock-solid — and ready for vertical construction.
Precision Grading & Subbase Compaction
The performance of any slab starts beneath the concrete. We begin by leveling and compacting the subgrade using laser-guided equipment to ensure consistent elevation across the entire footprint. Soil is compacted to engineered density levels, often in multiple lifts, to prevent future settlement or cracking. Where needed, we import select fill or install granular base layers to enhance drainage and bearing capacity.
Structural Reinforcement with Rebar & Post-Tensioning
From light-duty commercial floors to high-load industrial foundations, Cerito Development Inc installs reinforcement systems that match the engineering requirements of your structure. Our crews bend and tie rebar on-site or install prefabricated mats based on shop drawings, ensuring every critical connection is reinforced for durability and strength.
For post-tensioned slabs or mat foundations, we handle the layout and installation of tendon systems with the precision required for tensioning, anchoring, and future performance. With every pour, our work is inspected and measured against plan specifications to confirm spacing, cover, and alignment. Reinforced means resilient — and we don’t leave room for error.
Concrete Pouring & Machine-Assisted Finishing
Once forms and reinforcement are in place, Cerito Development Inc executes the pour with synchronized teams, screeds, and pump systems. We monitor mix consistency, weather conditions, and set times to ensure ideal placement and curing. Whether it’s a monolithic slab or a multi-section pour, we coordinate every step to avoid cold joints, maintain levelness, and preserve structural integrity.
Using laser screeds and power trowels, we finish surfaces to exact flatness and smoothness requirements, whether your floor calls for polished concrete, high-gloss epoxy, or a simple broom finish. The result? A slab that’s level, crack-resistant, and ready for steel erection, loading, or finishing trades.
Built-In Anchor Systems & Steel Integration
Every successful steel erection begins with accurate anchor bolt placement. Cerito Development Inc installs and verifies embedded anchor systems during foundation prep, using robotic layout tools and shop drawings to ensure exact location, depth, and plumb. We also install sleeves, conduits, and embeds needed for mechanical or electrical integration — preventing costly delays down the line.
Our foundation prep is deeply integrated with structural needs, ensuring that columns, baseplates, and equipment pads align perfectly with your steel plans. Whether we’re pouring for a pre-engineered metal building or a custom steel frame, our team ensures your slab is more than just concrete — it’s a launchpad for structural success.
