Level, durable concrete pads for generators, HVAC units, pool equipment, tanks and utility cabinets, sized to the equipment.
Heavy equipment likes a level, steady, dry surface. A standby generator, an air conditioner, a pool pump or a propane tank all do better on concrete than on the ground, where they sink, tilt and rust. Pads also keep vibration down, protect equipment from splashes and meet manufacturer clearances. A pad for a Nashville home often has to fit between the house, a fence and a utility easement, so the size and placement need thought before any concrete arrives.
We start with the equipment specs: dimensions, weight and the clearances the manufacturer and the code ask for. We dig the area, compact stone and form the pad slightly larger than the base with a very slight slope so water runs off. Steel gives strength, and conduit sleeves or anchor bolts can be set as needed. The surface is troweled flat and the edges are rounded. We cure the pad and tell you when it is ready for the installer to set the equipment. We also review clearances, conduit paths and drainage with you or your electrician, so the pad is placed and sloped correctly before any equipment arrives on site.
We use the manufacturer specs for size, weight and clearances, so the pad fits.
A flat surface with a slight pitch keeps equipment level and sheds water.
Steel keeps the pad from cracking under the load.
Conduit and anchor bolts can be placed in advance for a clean installation.

We walk the property, measure the area, check drainage, soil and access, look at any old concrete and take photos of anything of note.
We explain your options for thickness, steel, finishes and colors, sketch the layout and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.
We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the house, lawn and landscaping, remove old concrete if needed and compact a stone base.
We set forms and steel, check heights and slopes, place and finish the concrete and cut joints, with the crew on site from the first truck to the last pass.
We protect the concrete as it cures, clean up the site, walk you through when to use it and seal it, and set a reminder for your next check.
Usually a few inches wider than the base on every side, with the manufacturer clearances. We follow the specs.
Four inches is common, with more for heavy loads. We size it to the weight.
Yes, with care around foundations, drains and utilities.
Sometimes, especially for generators. We help you check.
Usually after a few days of cure. We give you exact timing.
