Industrial Concrete Floors
High tolerance industrial floor slabs meeting strict flatness specifications for warehouses and manufacturing.
Industrial floor slabs in the DFW Metroplex must perform under punishing conditions: heavy forklift traffic, high rack loads, pallet jack wear, and the relentless Texas heat that drives thermal expansion. We build floors that meet demanding flatness specifications and maintain their performance for decades.
Floor flatness matters more than most owners realize until they experience problems. Forklift operators struggle with uneven surfaces. High-rack storage systems require floors flat enough to maintain racking plumb. Very narrow aisle (VNA) operations demand exceptional flatness to allow wire-guided equipment. We specify and achieve FF/FL numbers appropriate for your operations.
Concrete mix design for industrial floors balances multiple requirements: workability for placement, finishing window for power troweling, strength development for early loading, and long-term durability. We work with local ready-mix suppliers who understand industrial floor requirements and can deliver consistent quality pour after pour.
Joint layout determines long-term floor performance. Saw-cut joints must be properly spaced and cut at the right time to control cracking. Construction joints need careful detailing to maintain flatness across pours. We develop joint plans that minimize crack potential while maintaining operational flexibility for your racking and equipment layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What floor flatness specifications do you typically achieve?
Standard warehouse floors are specified at FF35/FL25 minimum. For high-rack and VNA operations, we achieve FF50/FL30 or better. We verify flatness with certified floor surveys using F-number methodology.
How thick should my industrial floor be?
Floor thickness depends on loads and soil conditions. Typical warehouse floors range from 6 to 8 inches. Heavy manufacturing and high point loads may require 10 inches or more. We work with structural engineers to specify the right thickness for your specific requirements.
What about fiber versus rebar reinforcement?
Both have their place. Steel fiber reinforcement provides better crack control and eliminates rebar placement labor. Rebar is still required for thickened edges and around penetrations. Many industrial floors use a combination, with fiber in the field and rebar at perimeters and joints.
How soon can we use the floor after pouring?
Light foot traffic is typically allowed after 24 hours. Forklift traffic requires 7 days minimum for standard concrete, though high-early mixes can accelerate this. Full rack loading should wait 28 days for complete strength development.
Can you match floors for building additions?
Matching existing floors requires careful analysis of the original slab design, joint patterns, and surface finish. We can typically achieve good visual and functional matches, though some color variation is unavoidable with concrete of different ages.
