Frequently asked questions
Short answers about formwork concrete, ground slabs and the quote process.
What is formwork concrete?
Formwork concrete means pouring fresh concrete into a pre-built formwork system so it takes the required shape, and holding it there until it hardens. Structural elements such as walls, columns, beams and slabs are made this way. See our formwork concrete page for details.
What is ground slab concrete?
Ground slab concrete is concrete poured directly on the ground and driven over by vehicles, forklifts and equipment. Besides strength, flatness, surface hardness and joint layout matter. See our ground slab page for details.
What is a mooring block?
A mooring block is a concrete weight that holds a boat or buoy to the seabed by chain in marinas and bays. It stays in place by its own weight and the chain is attached through its connection ring.
Block weight and size depend on the boat, the seabed and local weather and wave conditions. That is why we cannot give one size for all cases; we need some information before quoting. See our mooring block article for details.
Why is concrete different in coastal structures?
Seawater and salty air expose the reinforcement inside concrete to corrosion. For this reason the concrete class, cover and curing are set more strictly in coastal structures. The project specification defines the requirements; we build the formwork and pour plan around them.
What kinds of projects do you work on?
We work on mooring blocks and ground slabs in marinas; ground slabs at port, marina and quay sites; industrial facilities, warehouses and factories; and villa, housing estate and residential projects. We also supply formwork concrete and ground slab packages as a subcontractor to general contractors.
What determines the price?
For formwork concrete, the number of elements, geometry, height and surface quality; for ground slabs, the area, load, thickness and surface type. Site conditions and schedule matter in both. A firm price needs a site visit and project information.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the quote form, call us or message us on WhatsApp. The project location, type of work and approximate size are enough. After the site visit we send the scope, schedule and payment plan in writing.
What if I have no drawings or project?
Share photos of the site, approximate dimensions and the intended use. We clarify what is needed together during the site visit.
How is occupational safety handled?
Safety measures are planned before work starts. The crew works with personal protective equipment, and formwork scaffolding and pour areas are checked. Our working order follows Turkey’s Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331.
