We have the experience and equipment to handle an array of commercial concrete flatwork project including sidewalk installation and repairs, curb and gutter, extruded curb, drive approaches and ADA compliant ramps.
A well-constructed concrete project starts with properly assessing what the surface will be used for and designing a sub-base and concrete thickness that will be suitable for the weight-load requirements. For most medium- or light-duty commercial applications, a 2" sub-base of 5/8 minus crushed rock properly compacted is appropriate. The greater the weight-bearing capacity required at the surface, the larger the sub-base aggregate should be and/or total thickness of the sub-base.
Likewise, the depth of the concrete pour itself should be congruous with the needs of the end-product. For residential or foot-traffic sidewalk applications, concrete pours should be a minimum of 4 inches. For driveway approaches or commercial applications with moderate vehicle traffic, a minimum of 6 inches is required. For high volume or heavy traffic (such as semi trucks), a minimum of 8" should be considered and also reinforcement using rebar or meshing material.
The factors that affect the cost of a concrete job are: (1) preparation time and removal of existing concrete, (2) total job size (larger job, lower unit prices), (3) concrete thickness, (4) detail work required and (5) the finish type.
