Laser guided slab pour underway for the Imagine International Academy of North Texas


Today the slab pour for the Imagine International Academy of North Texas began.  This two day, 40,000 square foot pour is broken into a four section checkerboard pattern.  By pouring the slab in sections no larger than 10,000 square feet we can minimize surface cracking.  This is an especially important technique when the slab areas are more rectangular than square, as is the case with the footprint of this building. The concrete is leveled by a laser guided screed, ensuring the finished floor height will be uniform over the entire slab.
