Truck Courts & Trailer Yards

Truck courts and trailer yards take constant abuse from loaded semi-trailers, heavy equipment, and turning movements that stress concrete in ways typical pavement never experiences. In the DFW logistics market, these hardscape areas determine how efficiently your facility moves product. We build truck courts engineered for decades of heavy use.

Pavement thickness for truck courts must account for the heaviest loads your facility will see. Loaded trailer tires create point loads that can punch through undersized concrete. We design pavements based on actual anticipated loads and traffic volumes, not generic standards that may be inadequate for your operation.

Joint design in truck courts is critical because joints are where concrete fails first. We use thickened edges at joints, proper doweling for load transfer, and joint spacing optimized for the concrete mix and slab thickness. Turning movements concentrate stress at predictable locations: we reinforce those areas appropriately.

Drainage keeps truck courts functional in Texas weather. Standing water deteriorates concrete, creates ice hazards in winter, and makes loading operations miserable. We design positive drainage with appropriate slopes, inlet locations, and connection to the site stormwater system.
