Warehouse and Industrial Floors

Flat, hard, joint-planned concrete floors for warehouses and shops, built for forklifts, racking and heavy equipment.

A warehouse floor is a tool. Forklifts run over it all day, racking stands on it and flatness affects how high and how fast loads can be moved. Joints that spall make a bumpy ride and damage wheels, and a floor that dusts coats products and equipment. A shop floor in Nashville that handles machinery and chemicals needs hardness, flatness and a plan for joints and coatings from the very start.

We build industrial slabs to the specification. Subgrades are proof-rolled and compacted, stone bases and vapor barriers go in and slabs are poured in large placements with laser screeds for flatness. Joints are planned with dowels and armored edges where heavy wheels cross. After power troweling, we cure, saw cut and fill the joints with semi-rigid material. Surface hardeners, densifiers and sealers cut dusting, and coatings add chemical resistance where needed. We also repair damaged joints and slabs in operating buildings. We discuss forklift traffic, racking loads, chemical exposure and flatness needs up front, then set slab thickness, joint layout and finishing methods to match, so the floor performs as your operation requires.

Flatness for forklifts

Laser screeding gives smooth floors that let trucks move fast and racks stand true.

Planned, protected joints

Dowels and armored edges keep joints from breaking under heavy wheels.

Hard, low-dust surface

Densifiers and hardeners cut dust and wear.

Coatings where needed

Chemical resistant coatings suit wash-down, food and shop areas.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and schedule

    You tell us about your site and what you want, new concrete, a repair or a refresh, and we set a visit that fits your day.

  2. 02

    Visit and measure

    We walk the property, measure the area, check drainage, soil and access, look at any old concrete and take photos of anything of note.

  3. 03

    Plan and explain

    We explain your options for thickness, steel, finishes and colors, sketch the layout and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.

  4. 04

    Prepare the site

    We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the house, lawn and landscaping, remove old concrete if needed and compact a stone base.

  5. 05

    Form and pour

    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.

  6. 06

    Cure and care

    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.

Questions

Warehouse and Industrial Floors FAQ

How thick should a warehouse slab be?

Often six inches or more with steel, depending on loads. The engineer or plan sets it.

Why do joints break down?

Heavy wheels and open, unfilled joints chip the edges. Filling and dowels help.

Can you repair floors while we operate?

Yes, we phase work and use fast-cure materials to limit downtime.

What is a densifier?

A liquid that hardens the surface and reduces dust.

Can floors be made chemical resistant?

Yes, with the right coating over a prepared surface.
