In-Situ Suspended Concrete Slabs

Structural Strength. Expertly Delivered.

At Slabline, we construct in-situ reinforced concrete suspended slabs — a trusted solution for creating strong, durable floors and roofs in multi-storey buildings. These slabs are engineered to span between structural supports such as beams, walls, and columns, forming the backbone of modern concrete structures.

What Is a Suspended Slab?

Suspended slabs are horizontal concrete elements elevated above ground level, supported by a structural framework. They are commonly used in multi-level buildings to create intermediate floors and rooftops. Our suspended slabs are formed on-site using a combination of reinforced steel, temporary formwork, and precision engineering — ensuring structural integrity from the ground up.

Our In-Situ Construction Process

We cast all suspended slabs on-site, allowing for greater flexibility and customization to match your building’s design requirements. The process includes:

  • Formwork Installation
    Temporary moulds are set up to define the slab shape and hold the concrete in place during curing.
  • Levelling & Preparation
    The formwork deck is levelled to ensure a uniform soffit, critical for consistent slab thickness.
  • Reinforcement Placement
    Steel reinforcement is fixed in accordance with the project’s engineering specifications.
  • Service Integration
    Electrical and plumbing contractors install necessary conduit and piping before the concrete pour.
  • Concrete Pouring
    Concrete is pumped into the formwork and evenly distributed across the slab area.

Curing & Formwork Removal

Once poured, the slab must cure to develop its strength. Our typical curing timeline is as follows:

  • Initial Support (7–14 Days):
    The slab remains supported until it reaches approximately 70% of its design strength.
  • Partial Formwork Removal:
    70–80% of the formwork is removed, leaving critical props in place.
  • Final Prop Removal (After 14–21 Days):
    Once full strength is achieved, all remaining supports are stripped.

Comprehensive Engineering Services

Slabline can offer a turnkey solution, providing:

  • Structural slab design
  • Supply of formwork and reinforcement
  • Full installation by experienced teams
  • Coordination with electrical and plumbing trades

With a focus on safety, precision, and performance, we ensure every slab we build meets the highest industry standards.
