Loading Docks and Aprons
Loading areas see the heaviest wheel loads on a property. We pour thick, reinforced dock approaches and aprons with dowels at the joints so trucks do not break them down.

Questions
Common questions
Can you replace an apron while the dock stays in use?
Often yes, by pouring in sections. We plan the order with you.
What thickness do docks need?
Typically thicker than a parking lot, and we design it from the loads and the base.
