Industrial Paving

Container yards, dock approaches, fuel islands, forklift aisles. Pavement built thick enough to actually take what your operation throws at it.

Industrial pavement is a different animal than a regular parking lot. The forces are bigger, the wheels are smaller and harder, the drips are oilier, and the surface gets hammered in the same spots over and over by the same equipment running the same routes every day. A residential-spec lift will be cracking and rutting inside two seasons. We don't pour residential spec on industrial work.

Whether the job is a warehouse approach, a fuel island slab, a tractor-trailer staging yard, or a fleet maintenance pad, we engineer it for what's actually going to drive on it. That means a deeper compacted base, higher binder grade hot mix, thicker lifts, and a drainage plan that handles real downpours instead of just the average shower.

What the job covers

  • On-site walkthrough with the facility ops team and a written scope
  • Soil borings or test pits where load demands warrant it
  • Subgrade rebuild and compaction beyond residential spec
  • Aggregate base built to industrial depth with shot-graded compaction
  • Heavy-duty hot mix laid in lifts with high-compaction rolling
  • Drainage corrections, swales, or trench drains as needed
  • ADA tie-ins, ramps, and pedestrian access transitions
  • Striping, traffic flow markings, and load-zone signage

From short truck staging pads to multi-acre distribution yards, our equipment is sized for the work and our schedule respects the fact that you have product moving every day.

Three things that matter on industrial work

Spec'd for the real load

A thirty-thousand-pound forklift on small hard wheels does more damage in a year than a thousand sedans. We size base depth and binder grade for what's actually rolling through.

Built for here, not for somewhere else

Sandy subgrade, summer downpours, and the heat that softens asphalt all change how an industrial pavement performs. Our specs are tuned for Northeast Florida ground.

Phased so you keep moving freight

We sequence sections, schedule pours overnight or on weekends, and keep clear access for trucks. Your shipments don't stop while we work.

Industrial paving FAQ

For most industrial work, you're looking at three to four inches of compacted hot mix over eight to twelve inches of aggregate base. The exact spec depends on the worst-case load. We build for the heaviest thing that's going to roll across it, not the average.
Yes. Plenty of our industrial work happens overnight, on weekends, or in tight section-by-section phases that leave the rest of the yard active. Tell us your peak times and dock schedules and we'll write the project plan around them.
Built right and maintained, fifteen to twenty-five years is realistic. Built thin or skipping maintenance, you can be back in there cutting patches inside five. Sealcoating and crack repair on schedule are what move the number from the bottom of that range to the top.
For larger industrial projects we'll either pull test pits ourselves or coordinate borings with a geotech, depending on what the load and the existing fill call for. If your site is near wetlands or has known soft spots, that step isn't optional and we won't skip it.
