Engineered Slabs.
Mastered for Texas Soil.

From heavy-load metal building shop pads and laser-compacted dirt work to commercial pavement and post-tension barndominium slabs, we pour unyielding concrete built to handle Gulf Coast gumbo clay.

Core Specialty

Engineered Metal Building Shop Slabs

A metal building is only as reliable as the foundation it stands upon. We engineer monolithic shop slabs with thick perimeter grade beams and heavy column haunches capable of resisting the uplift forces of coastal windstorms and the heavy point-loads of two-post automotive lifts.

Standard Thickness4", 5", or 6"+ monolithic pours
Compressive Strength3,500 – 4,500 PSI mix design
ReinforcementGrade 60 #3 or #4 rebar on chairs
Anchor BoltsSquare set within 1/16" for steel columns
Surface FinishPower-screeded hard trowel finish

Commercial Division

Commercial Concrete & Heavy Pavement

Engineered to support semi-truck wheel loads, warehouse forklift traffic, and continuous commercial operations. We execute commercial parking lots, loading dock aprons, and dumpster approaches with high-early strength concrete and saw-cut contraction joints to control cracking.

Load RatingClass 8 Semi-Tractor & Trailer Rated
Concrete Spec4,500 – 5,000 PSI high early strength
Joint EngineeringPrecision diamond saw-cut joints at 10'–12'
SubgradeStabilized cement-treated base or compacted fill
ApprovalsCity & County Commercial Drainage Standards

Residential Structural

Barndominium & Residential Post-Tension Slabs

Building your living quarters requires extra attention to sub-slab plumbing, electrical blockouts, and moisture management. We utilize high-strength post-tension cable tendons and 15-mil puncture-resistant vapor barriers to prevent indoor moisture vapor transmission through flooring.

Foundation TypePost-tension or heavy rebar monolithic
Vapor Protection15-mil Stego Wrap moisture membrane
Rough-In IntegrationPlumbing drop-outs & electrical sleeves
Porch Step-DownsIntegrated 2"–4" exterior porch drops

Civil Earthwork

Site Excavation & Compacted Dirt Pads

Pouring concrete on uncompacted or organic Gulf Coast topsoil is a recipe for foundation settlement. Our earthwork crews operate excavators, dozers, and vibratory sheepfoot rollers to clear roots, import select fill, and compact building pads in 6-inch lifts to 95%+ standard proctor density.

Pad Compaction95%+ Standard Proctor Density verified
Elevation ControlDual-slope laser grading for runoff control
Fill MaterialTested, non-expansive select fill dirt
Water ManagementCulverts, ditch approaches & swale grading

Outdoor Living & Extensions

Custom Concrete Patios & Porches

Upgrade your outdoor living space with durable, crack-resistant concrete patios and porch extensions. Designed to handle intense Texas heat and heavy downpours, every patio is poured with positive drainage slope away from your home or shop, reinforced with rebar or fiber-mesh, and finished with clean control joints.

Standard Thickness4" monolithic reinforced pour
Finish OptionsFine-broom traction, smooth border, or decorative stamped
Drainage PitchEngineered 1/8"–1/4" per foot slope away from foundations
ReinforcementGrade 60 rebar grid on chairs or fiber-mesh mix
Custom FeaturesOutdoor kitchen pads, fire pit slabs, and hot tub reinforcement

Pedestrian Infrastructure

Sidewalks, Walkways & ADA Pathways

We construct clean, durable pedestrian sidewalks and perimeter access walkways for commercial facilities, subdivisions, and residential acreage. Our concrete pathways are poured to strict municipal and ADA specifications, featuring smooth transitions, expansion joints to prevent root heaving, and non-slip broom texturing.

ApplicationsCommercial entry paths, municipal sidewalks & perimeter shop aprons
Concrete Spec3,500 – 4,000 PSI with rebar reinforcement
ADA ComplianceCross-slope under 2%, detectable warning dome integration
Expansion ReliefPre-molded expansion joints at intervals to prevent buckling
DurabilityResistant to Gulf Coast freeze-thaw cycles and ground settling

Water Management & Civil Drainage

Storm Drains, Trench Drains & Culverts

Heavy coastal rainfall can quickly undermine a foundation if water sits against your slab. We engineer and install comprehensive stormwater infrastructure: heavy-duty concrete catch basins, trench/channel drains across shop bay doors and driveways, and county-permitted ditch culverts with reinforced concrete headwalls.

Drainage SystemsCast concrete catch basins, trench drains & area inlets
Grate RatingsClass C & D traffic-rated ductile iron and steel grates
Culvert InstallationsReinforced concrete pipe (RCP) and smooth-interior HDPE
Headwalls & ApronsCustom concrete wingwalls and rip-rap erosion control
Foundation DefenseRoutes torrential Texas storm runoff safely off-property

Concrete Driveways & County Approaches

Say goodbye to muddy ruts, gravel washouts, and crumbling asphalt. We pour heavy-duty reinforced concrete driveways built to support daily traffic, heavy dual-wheel pickup trucks, RVs, and boat trailers. Whether you need a brand-new driveway installation on rural acreage or a complete tear-out and replacement of an old failing slab, our crews handle excavation, subgrade compaction, rebar grids, expansion joints, and non-slip broom finishes.

Standard Thickness4" (Passenger Vehicles) or 5"–6" (Heavy Trucks / RVs / Equipment)
Concrete Strength3,500 – 4,000 PSI commercial mix with fiber-mesh or #3/#4 rebar
Thickened Edges6"–8" reinforced perimeter haunches for roadway transitions
Joint EngineeringDiamond saw-cut expansion & control joints every 10'–12'
