Commercial and Industrial Concreting in Rockhampton

Floors that carry a business

Commercial concrete in Rockhampton is often workshop and warehouse work: a floor for a new building in Parkhurst or Gracemere, a hardstand for trucks and equipment, a car park, or a loading area that has broken up under traffic. These slabs are engineered for the loads they will carry. Forklift wheels, racking legs and loaded trucks put far more stress on concrete than anything at home.

What gets designed

An engineer will usually set the slab thickness, steel, joint layout and concrete strength. The joint layout matters more than people expect: joints that line up with racking aisles and traffic routes last better than joints placed wherever was easiest. If the floor will be ground, polished or coated later, that needs planning before the pour.

Working around the business

Commercial work often has to happen while a business keeps running. Staging the pour, keeping access open, and allowing curing time before trucks or forklifts go back on are all part of a sensible plan. Ask for the program in writing.

Repairs and replacement

Broken slabs at loading docks and gateways are common. Sometimes a section can be cut out and replaced; sometimes the base under it has failed and the fix is bigger. A good concreter will explain which before quoting.
