Farm and equipment pads face unique challenges—heavy point loads from machinery, chemical exposure from livestock and fuels, and constant moisture from washing and weather. These pads require specialized engineering beyond standard residential specs.
We design pads with appropriate thickness, reinforcement, and drainage to handle your specific agricultural or commercial needs, ensuring long-lasting performance under demanding conditions.
Heavy-Duty Thickness
We pour 6-8 inch thick slabs for equipment and machinery use, thicker than standard residential concrete. This extra depth handles concentrated loads from tractor tires, outriggers, and heavy equipment without cracking or settling.
Steel Reinforcement Grid
Heavy rebar grids provide structural integrity to resist cracking from heavy loads and ground movement. We place reinforcement at engineered depths to maximize effectiveness for your specific equipment weight.
Drainage Design
We slope pads for proper drainage and can integrate trench drains or collection systems for wash areas. Good drainage prevents standing water, reduces mud, and makes cleanup easier for livestock and equipment areas.
Chemical-Resistant Finish
High-density trowel finishes resist chemical penetration from fertilizers, fuels, and livestock waste. Optional sealers provide additional protection for areas with heavy chemical exposure or frequent washing.
Why Choose Our Agricultural Pad Service?
Agricultural pads aren't just thick slabs—they require understanding of point loads from equipment outriggers, chemical resistance for livestock and fuel exposure, and drainage patterns that work with farm operations. We've poured pads for tractors, combines, RVs, and commercial equipment that demand specialized engineering.
We also understand timing for agricultural projects. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your operations and can schedule pours around planting, harvest, or livestock management needs.
Our Installation Process
1. Site Evaluation and Design
We assess your property, discuss equipment types and weights, and determine optimal pad size and thickness. We plan drainage routes and discuss any special requirements like wash stations or fuel containment.
2. Excavation and Base Preparation
We excavate to appropriate depth for your pad thickness and install thick, well-compacted gravel base. Proper base prep prevents settling under heavy equipment loads and provides drainage beneath the slab.
3. Reinforcement Installation
We place heavy rebar grids at engineered spacing and elevation. For extra-heavy equipment, we use thicker rebar with closer spacing to handle extreme loads without cracking or structural failure.
4. Concrete Pour and Finishing
We pour high-strength concrete mix to specified thickness, ensuring proper consolidation and slope. Dense trowel finish creates smooth, durable surface. Control joints are cut to manage expansion and contraction.
5. Curing and Sealing
We protect concrete during curing to achieve full strength. Optional sealer application provides additional chemical resistance. Your pad is ready for equipment use in 7-10 days, full strength in 28 days.
