We pour and repair concrete for Anchorage shops, offices, restaurants and property managers. Slabs are sized for plows, loaders and delivery trucks, and drainage is planned around where the snow is stacked. Work is phased so customers can still reach the door.
Commercial slabs in Anchorage take a beating that home concrete never sees. Loaders scrape them all winter, delivery trucks turn on them, and dumpster trucks drop their weight on the same spot every week. We size the slab for the heaviest thing that will use it. That usually means thicker concrete, more steel and a deeper gravel base at loading areas, dumpster pads and drive lanes than in the parking stalls.
Drainage is planned around snow. A lot needs a place to stack plowed snow, and that pile has to melt toward a drain and not across the walkway to your front door, where it will freeze every night in April. Entrances, ramps and accessible routes get the most attention, because that is where a slip claim comes from. We set slopes and landings to the accessibility standards that apply to your building.
The work has to fit a short season and an open business. We break jobs into sections so customers and deliveries can still reach you, and we pour early in the day when that helps. Sidewalks and approaches in the street right of way go through the municipal Right of Way Section. Send us the address, what the slab has to carry and when you are slowest.
Commercial concrete in Anchorage: common questions
Can you replace our sidewalk while the shop stays open?
Yes, in most cases. We do one section at a time, keep a marked path to the door and schedule the pour for your quiet hours. Fresh concrete needs a day or two before foot traffic.
How thick should a dumpster pad be?
Thicker than the lot around it, with steel, because the truck puts its front axle load on a small area. We size it for the hauler's truck and extend it far enough that the wheels stay on concrete during the lift.
Does loader plowing damage concrete?
It wears raised edges and joints. Keeping slabs flush with each other, sealing joints and asking the plow operator to use shoes or a rubber edge on decorative areas all help.
