Concrete flatwork refers to horizontal concrete surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, and patios. One of the main challenges in concrete flatwork is ensuring proper grading and drainage to prevent water from pooling on the surface. Another challenge is achieving the desired finish on the surface, whether it be a smooth, broom-finished, or exposed aggregate finish. Additionally, controlling cracking is a common challenge in concrete flatwork, as shrinkage and thermal expansion can cause cracks to form if not properly addressed.
Proper Grading and Drainage - TNR achieves results by properly preparing the subgrade, using the correct mix design, and ensuring proper curing of the concrete.
Finishing - TNR requires proper surface preparation, the use of the correct tools and techniques, and skilled labor.
Shrinkage / Thermal Expansion - This is mitigated by TNR through the use of proper mix design, control joints, and proper curing methods.
