Commercial Concrete Applications
Concrete is used in many aspects of commercial construction and is one of the vital parts of the integrity and durability of a building project. Aside from a strong concrete foundation, commercial buildings are often constructed with concrete walls and exterior facades. On the outside, the parking lot, sidewalks, curbs and gutters are also most commonly made of concrete. One of the many benefits of using concrete in commercial and industrial applications is its durability and low-maintenance nature. This allows you to spend less time worrying about the outside of your business, and more time worrying about what goes on inside.

Exterior Concrete Work
Typical foundations used in concrete work are trench and formed foundations. Each are specific for certain uses, but sometimes either can be used for the same project. A trench foundation is continuous and free formed below the grade wall. This trench is designed so the concrete holds up the exterior of the slabs that align against it. A formed foundation is made by using forming materials. These are typically used when building a multi-story building or tilt wall panels.
Integral Color Slabs on Grade
One of the most common ways to create a solid foundation is with slabs on grade. Slabs on grade is a where a concrete slab is poured into a mold to form the foundation. Before this foundation is poured, a sub base is packed a leveled. Sand or dirt is typically used for sub bases.
Slabs on Deck
Another way to form concrete is a slab on deck. A slab on deck is typically used for multi-level buildings. There is decking between levels that is used to hold the concrete and keep the floors level. Steel decking is most commonly used because of its strength.
Curb & Gutter

Sidewalks
Without sidewalks there would be no designated places to walk. Most sidewalks are made of concrete because they outlast the wear of the weather and traffic and because they look better. That’s why they are important in both commercial and industrial building.
