Industrial Concrete Foundations
Commercial industrial concrete foundations in Allen, TX
As a general contractor working directly with developers and property owners, we deliver industrial concrete foundations 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
Industrial foundations support the critical infrastructure that modern manufacturing, logistics, and processing facilities require. From machine pad foundations capable of dampening vibration to tilt-wall panel footings, industrial foundation work demands engineering precision and experienced crews who understand the stakes.
In North Texas, industrial foundation construction must account for our expansive clay soils that can move several inches annually with moisture changes. Post-tension designs, pier-and-beam systems, and engineered soil treatments all play roles in delivering foundations that remain stable under continuous industrial use.
Our pre-construction process for industrial foundations is thorough: we review geotechnical reports, coordinate with structural engineers, and develop pour sequences that minimize risk and maximize quality. For tilt-wall construction, we build the floor slab as a casting surface first, requiring exceptional flatness for panel production before the building itself goes vertical.
Machine foundations add another layer of complexity. CNC equipment, printing presses, compressors, and production machinery each have specific vibration isolation and anchor requirements that we address during design. The foundation's mass, reinforcement, and isolation details are engineered to match your equipment specifications, preventing the operational problems that arise when generic foundations meet precision equipment.

Common Project Situations
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about industrial concrete foundations
What geotechnical information do you need for industrial foundation design?
We require a geotechnical report with soil boring data, plasticity indices, and recommended foundation design parameters. If you do not have a geotech report, we can recommend engineering firms we have worked with across Collin County. The geotech data drives our reinforcement design and any soil treatment recommendations.
Do you construct post-tension foundations for industrial buildings?
Yes. Our crews are experienced with post-tension foundation systems commonly specified for industrial buildings on North Texas clay soils. We install tendons, stress cables to engineer specifications, and coordinate inspections required for post-tension work.
How do you handle machine foundation requirements?
Machine foundations require coordination with equipment vendors to understand anchor bolt patterns, vibration isolation needs, and any special mass requirements. We review equipment specs during design, size the foundation appropriately, and install embedded hardware with precision.
What is your process for tilt-wall foundation construction?
Tilt-wall construction requires the floor slab to serve as a casting surface for wall panels. We pour the floor slab first with specific flatness tolerances and smooth finish, then coordinate with the tilt-wall contractor on panel casting sequence, bracing embedments, and pickup point locations.
How long does industrial foundation construction typically take?
Timeline varies significantly based on foundation complexity and building size. A simple 10,000 SF industrial building foundation might take 2-3 weeks, while a complex manufacturing facility with machine foundations and extensive below-slab utilities could require 6-8 weeks.
