EZ Drill – The Answer To Concrete Doweling Doweling concrete, inserting steel bars called “dowel bars” into a concrete joint, typically at the mid-depth of the slab, to allow for load transfer between adjacent concrete slabs while still allowing for slight movement due to temperature changes; this is achieved by coating the dowel bars with […]
