A recent concrete replacement job in Bethlehem, PA, is a great example of how the right preparation and finish can completely transform a worn-down commercial space into a durable, high-traffic-ready surface.
Tackling a Safety Hazard with Precision Concrete Work
The original concrete walkway at this Bethlehem site had seen better days.
Years of wear had left it uneven and cracked, creating not only a public eyesore but a liability for anyone walking the path. Located alongside a fenced-in commercial area with shelving and storage, this section needed a dependable, long-lasting solution because of regular foot traffic.
That’s when our team stepped in and planned the upgrade.
How We Restored This 432 Sq. Ft. Section from the Ground Up
Step 1: Saw Cutting and Demolition
We began by saw cutting and jackhammering out the existing concrete, reaching a depth of 6 inches to make sure we removed all damaged material. Removing concrete to this depth is essential to provide the solid foundation needed for long-term performance.
Step 2: Debris Removal and Site Prep
After breaking up the concrete, we hauled away all the debris to create a clean work area. Removing leftover rubble and dust helps avoid future settling or weak spots.
Step 3: Installing Rebar for Reinforcement
Next, we laid down rebar across the entire section. It gives the new concrete the added strength it needs to resist cracking and shifting over time.
Step 4: Concrete Pour and Screeding
With the base ready, we poured fresh concrete and screeded it to an even grade. We made sure the slope provided proper drainage to direct water away from nearby fencing and walls, which is crucial for preventing long-term erosion or pooling.
Step 5: Broom Finish and Control Joints
To wrap up the job, we applied a broom finish for added slip resistance (useful for wet walkways). We also cut control joints into the slab to allow for expansion and contraction, helping to prevent cracks as the temperature shifts.
A Fresh, Safe Finish That Stands Up to Heavy Use
With this section fully restored, the site now features a clean, professional-looking walkway that’s built to last. The new surface blends well with the existing layout, while providing a safer, more reliable path for workers and customers alike.
