Equipment Pads & Heavy-Duty Flatwork

Industrial-Strength Concrete for Serious Loads

When your operation relies on presses, silos, chillers, or transformers, the concrete beneath them needs to shrug off vibration, point loads, and chemical exposure day after day.

Starbuck Concrete designs and pours specialized equipment pads and heavy-duty flatwork for manufacturers, utilities, and logistics hubs across North Spokane. Our union-trained crews follow engineer specs to the letter—so your machinery runs true and your maintenance team sleeps easy.

Heavy-Duty Flatwork Essentials:

Load drives the design. Slab thickness, rebar spacing, and concrete strength are calculated from equipment weight, dynamic forces, and anchor locations.

Proper isolation equals longevity. Bond-breakers, keyway joints, or isolation pads prevent vibration from telegraphing through adjoining floors.

Embedded steel is precision-set. Anchor bolts, plates, and conduit sleeves are installed to millimeter accuracy before the pour.

Chemical and abrasion resistance. High-cement, low-water mixes plus hardeners or epoxy toppings fend off oils, coolants, and impact.

QC you can verify. Slump, air, temp, and break data supplied with every placement; laser level checks reported next-day.

What We Build:

What We Build

Press & Machine Pads

Extra-thick sections with double-mat rebar and precision anchor templates.
Transformer & Generator Foundations

Oil-containment curbs, grounding embeds, and vibration isolation.
Tank & Silo Ring Walls

Circular footings with doweled curb walls and embedded anchor plates.
Loading Dock Aprons

Doweled joints, armored edges, and impact-resistant mix designs.
Heavy-Traffic Drive Lanes

6–10-inch doweled slabs for constant forklift or semi-truck traffic.

Site prep is everything.
A stable, compacted base prevents settling and cracking.
Mix designs matter. We specify air-entrained, fiber-reinforced concrete tuned for Spokane’s climate.
Control joints control cracks. Proper spacing and depth guide natural shrinkage so random cracks don’t form.
Sealing extends life. A quality sealer fights moisture, road salt, and UV rays—ask us about maintenance bundles.
