Slabmasters, Quality Raft Foundations, Eastern Cape

What we do

Slabmasters is a company born out of the experience gained in the industry of raft foundations. Wayne Brownlee started doing raft foundations for low cost housing in the Eastern Cape and after refining the process decided to concentrate on what the company does well- Raft Foundations.

We do everything for the client

We do the setting out of the shutters for the raft foundation, ensuring that it is level and square. Thereafter we fill the shutters to the desired height and compact the fill to the required standard. Thereafter we trench the beams according to specifications. The residual soil is then removed, the levels again checked and squares tested. In the meantime, our team of steelbinders bind the steel according to the specifications provided. The 250micron plastic is then placed in the trenches and steel fixed inside the trenches. We also order the concrete and then liaise delivery times with the provider. Once again the levels and squares are checked and the foundations are then cast and screeded. A light handfloat follows the screeding. The next morning we apply our powerfloat to the floor to provide the client with a completed floor. Engineer inspections are arranged by us prior to casting of the foundation. This ensures that our products are always according to specifications. We also order the steel for the raft foundations in advance, based on the anticipated production for a specified period.

What else do we do

We have two of the best mini diggers in the world, the K9 mini digger. This machine has endless capabilities and a huge range of applications, trenching, auguring, leveling, digging and many more.
