Fuel Station Paving
Commercial fuel station paving in Allen, TX
As a general contractor working directly with developers and property owners, we deliver fuel station paving services for commercial and industrial properties throughout Allen, TX and the DFW metroplex. No subcontracting, just our experienced crews, your project, and clear accountability.
Service Overview
Fuel station paving operates under unique conditions: constant vehicle traffic, chemical exposure from fuel spills, and regulatory requirements for environmental protection. These stations need concrete that withstands demanding conditions while meeting environmental compliance requirements.
Fuel island concrete requires chemical resistance and containment features. We install appropriate concrete mixes, joint sealants that resist fuel degradation, and containment details that meet environmental regulations. These features protect both the concrete and the environment.
Traffic areas at fuel stations face intense use. Unlike parking lots where vehicles are parked most of the time, fuel station traffic areas see constant movement. This requires heavier construction than standard commercial paving.
Canopy foundations, pump islands, and dispenser pads require precise construction for equipment installation. We coordinate with equipment suppliers on anchor locations, conduit requirements, and other embedded items that must be placed during construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about fuel station paving
What makes fuel station concrete different from standard paving?
Fuel station concrete must resist chemical attack from fuel and lubricant spills, provide containment to meet environmental requirements, and handle constant traffic. These needs require specific mixes, joint materials, and construction details.
How do you address environmental containment?
We install containment features per environmental requirements including impervious concrete, appropriate joint sealants, and connection to spill containment systems. Specific requirements depend on local regulations and site conditions.
What about dispenser and pump island construction?
We construct fuel islands and dispenser pads with precision for equipment installation. This includes anchor bolts, conduit sleeves, and containment details coordinated with equipment suppliers.
Do you construct canopy foundations?
Yes. We install canopy column foundations per structural requirements. These foundations need precise anchor bolt placement for canopy erection and appropriate depth for wind load resistance.
What thickness is typical for fuel station traffic areas?
Traffic areas typically require 6-8 inches depending on expected vehicle types. Areas serving only passenger vehicles may use lighter construction while truck stops need heavier specifications.
