Our process
-
Assess & design – loads, equipment footprint, soils, and anchor plans (PE-stamped drawings available).
-
Site prep – excavation, proof-roll, moisture conditioning, and compacted subbase.
-
Form & reinforce – rebar/WWR per spec, dowels, isolation joints, embeds, and conduit stubs.
-
Place & finish – controlled slump, placement windows to beat heat, trowel/broom or non-skid finish.
-
Cure & protect – curing compounds, coverings, and barricades; compressive break reports as required.
-
Turnover – as-builts, anchor bolt survey, and maintenance guidance.
Specs & options
-
Thickness from 4–12 in.+ based on loads and soils
-
Rebar/WWR, fiber reinforcement, and vapor barriers
-
Anchor bolts, embeds, and plates set from shop drawings
-
Coatings & sealers (chemical, UV, and freeze-thaw protection)
-
Containment curbs, chamfers, keyways, and isolation joints
Arizona-specific considerations
-
Heat & cure: early/late pours, retarding admixtures, and curing blankets to prevent plastic shrinkage cracking.
-
Expansive/native soils: subgrade stabilization, geogrid, and over-excavation where needed.
-
Dust & wind: site controls, wind breaks, and moisture management for a clean finish.
Light maintenance tips
-
Reseal high-traffic surfaces every 2–3 years.
-
Keep joints clean; replace failed sealant to block water intrusion.
-
Avoid point loads beyond design; use pads/plates under feet and skids.
-
Address chips or spalls early to prevent propagation.

FAQs
How thick should my concrete pad be?
Depends on load, footprint, and soils. Light utility pads may be 4–6″, while transformer or skid bases often run 8–12″+ with reinforcement.
How soon can equipment be set?
Typical initial cure allows light foot traffic in 24–48 hours; heavy equipment placement is usually 7–14 days, or per cylinder breaks/spec.
Do you set anchors and embeds?
Yes. We place anchor bolts, embeds, and conduit stubs to shop drawings and provide survey verification on request.
Can you demo and replace an existing pad?
Absolutely—saw-cut, remove, dispose, prep subgrade, and pour the new pad with minimal downtime.
