Industrial Foundations

Foundation and slab construction in Central Texas requires specialized engineering to address our region's expansive clay soils and extreme climate conditions. At Concrete Contractors of Waco, we provide comprehensive foundation systems including spread footings, pier foundations, slab-on-grade construction, and post-tensioned slabs designed to resist soil movement while supporting structural loads.

Our foundation expertise encompasses residential, commercial, and industrial applications, with particular focus on Central Texas soil conditions that can cause significant seasonal movement. We utilize advanced soil testing and engineering analysis to design foundations that accommodate 2-4 inches of soil expansion and contraction while maintaining structural integrity.

For slab-on-grade construction, we employ laser-guided screeding equipment to achieve precise flatness tolerances, incorporating proper drainage design and expansion joint placement. Our post-tensioned slab systems use high-strength cables stressed to engineered tensions, creating slabs that resist cracking and maintain levelness over time.

We coordinate foundation work with framing contractors, ensuring proper anchor bolt placement and structural connections. Our crews maintain detailed documentation of foundation construction, providing as-built drawings and quality control reports that meet local building code requirements.

In Central Texas, we understand the importance of proper drainage design to prevent water accumulation under slabs, which can exacerbate soil movement issues. Our foundation designs incorporate perimeter drainage systems and proper grading to protect long-term foundation performance.
