Heavy-Duty Slabs

Industrial floors and work yards need thick, reinforced concrete poured to specifications that support heavy loads and daily demands.

Machine Foundations

Custom pads are set up for presses, conveyors, or shop equipment. Anchors, sleeves, and exact level work ensure machinery sits securely.

Parking & Loading

Drive lanes, parking lots, and loading dock areas are formed for the regular daily weight of heavy loads and loading dock traffic.

Commercial-Grade Concrete for Demanding Spaces

Business and industrial properties face unique concrete challenges, from vehicle traffic and shelving weight to frequent cleaning or chemical exposure. Job sites are reviewed for slab thickness, drainage, reinforcement, and the demands of daily operation before any work begins, so each pour matches the real needs of the site.

Formwork is designed for efficient workflow, whether building production floors, storage pads, or wide parking lots. Reinforcement with rebar or wire mesh boosts slab integrity, and proper expansion joints prevent unsightly cracks. In projects with heavy machinery, vibration pads, anchor bolts, and level surfaces are factored in from the start.

Once poured and finished, commercial concrete is cured for lasting strength and readied for fast return to service. Surface treatments are selected for slip resistance, dust control, or chemical protection, allowing businesses to keep up productivity with confidence in every concrete slab.

Industrial & Commercial Concrete Services

Warehouse Floor Installation

Floors in warehouses are built for constant forklift movement and heavy racking loads. Contractors start with soil checks and compacted sub-bases, then pour slabs at thicknesses specified for industrial use. Finishes are chosen for dust control and smooth transport, with expansion joints mapped to control wear. The result is a tough, uniform surface that performs under pressure.

Loading Dock and Freight Apron Construction

Loading docks must support trucks, pallets, and repeated wheel traffic every day. Pouring thicker slabs with deep reinforcement helps resist impacts and settling. Drainage and slope are planned so water runs off quickly. Joints and surface texture are addressed for safety and function, delivering consistent performance where vehicles and teams work side by side.

Parking Lot and Drive Lane Paving

Spaces designed for commercial parking, fleet vehicles, or drive-through service are prepped for constant use. Concrete is poured and finished with visible joint lines, proper grading, and optional curb work. Surface texture and markings help guide vehicle and pedestrian flow, keeping lots safe and easier to maintain.

Equipment Pad and Machine Foundations

Heavy shop machinery or outdoor tanks sit on custom pads built for strength and stability. Concrete is reinforced with rebar grids or mesh, and anchor bolts or utility sleeves are set as needed. Exact leveling allows machines to operate safely, while thickened edges or vibration screening are considered for specialized industrial needs.

Sidewalks, Ramps, and Site Access

Commercial properties need walkways, ramps, and ADA-compliant entries built to last. Slabs are poured with slip-resistant finishes and include careful grading for safe access. Border work and joint layout are planned in advance, helping walkways handle foot traffic, carts, and weather for years.

Concrete Demolition and Removal

Renovation or expansion projects may start with demo. Contractors cut and break out old slabs, haul materials for recycling or disposal, and prep the site for new construction. Special attention is paid to minimizing business disruption during removal and keeping sites clean and orderly.

Retaining Walls and Structural Elements

Some sites need extra support with retaining walls or concrete barriers. These structures are formed with heavy rebar, precise footings, and drainage allowances. Installation is coordinated with overall site plans, ensuring stability and safety for entrances, grade changes, or landscaping.

High-Wear Surface Treatments

Industrial settings often require advanced surface treatments for chemical protection, abrasion resistance, or color-coding work zones. Sealers, hardeners, and specialty coatings are applied to match specific needs, whether it’s food processing, manufacturing, or vehicle maintenance. This extra step can extend concrete’s lifespan and improve workplace conditions.

Every commercial concrete project brings different site challenges and performance goals, from floor load requirements to specialized coatings and finishing. The right choices help protect investments and keep operations running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

When planning work on industrial or commercial concrete, property owners and managers often have important questions about durability, code compliance, and timeline. Here are answers to the most common concerns.

What slab thickness is best for warehouses, shops, or parking areas?

Thickness depends on intended use. Warehouse and heavy-duty shop floors often start at six inches or more, reinforced with rebar or mesh for forklifts and shelving. Parking lots or drive lanes may be designed slightly thinner but always to meet projected loads and traffic.

How do you handle drainage and slope in large slab installations?

Slabs are graded to direct water away from buildings and into approved runoff points or stormwater systems. Careful slope and joint layout minimize water pooling and reduce maintenance needs for both indoor and outdoor work zones.

Is it possible to install concrete in sections to avoid business downtime?

Many projects can be broken into phases, with work areas poured or repaired in sections. This approach helps keep part of the space open so businesses continue running during upgrades or repairs.

What kinds of finishes are recommended for commercial floors?

Most jobs use hard-troweled, broom, or slip-resistant finishes for safety and low maintenance. Specialty coatings or densifiers may be added in areas exposed to chemicals, oils, or heavy abrasion.

Are permits required for commercial concrete installs or repairs?

Most cities and counties require permits for new slabs, structural repairs, or changes to parking lot layouts. Working with crews who know the local code ensures inspections and paperwork are handled correctly.

How long before commercial slabs are ready for use?

Light foot traffic is possible after a day, but heavy vehicles and machinery may need to wait from a week to a full month, depending on slab thickness and seasonal weather. Contractors will provide curing guidelines to protect your investment.

Can surface damage or cracks be repaired without total replacement?

High-traffic slabs often develop chips, cracks, or spalling but can be repaired using industrial patching products. Early intervention helps extend the life of work zones or parking areas.

What maintenance helps extend slab life in industrial settings?

Regular sweeping, prompt oil or chemical cleanup, and annual inspection of joints and surfaces go a long way. Applying recommended sealers or coatings can also protect against wear, spills, and UV exposure.
