Equipment Pads, Housekeeping Pads, and Machine Foundations

Equipment foundations and housekeeping pads support the machinery that drives industrial operations throughout the DFW Metroplex. Manufacturing equipment, HVAC systems, electrical equipment, and process machinery all require properly designed and constructed concrete supports. We build equipment foundations that provide stable platforms for sensitive equipment while accommodating the specific requirements of each installation.

Equipment foundation design depends on the characteristics of the supported machinery. Rotating equipment generates dynamic loads requiring mass and vibration isolation. Static equipment may need only appropriate load distribution. We work with equipment suppliers and structural engineers to understand requirements and construct foundations that perform as intended.

Housekeeping pads serve simpler functions-elevating equipment above floor level for cleaning access, providing level mounting surfaces, and containing minor leaks or spills. We construct housekeeping pads with proper reinforcement, edge treatment, and surface finish for each application.

Anchor bolt and embed installation requires precision that standard concrete work doesn't demand. Equipment mounting bolt patterns must match manufacturer drawings exactly. We use templates and careful layout to achieve required tolerances, verifying placement before concrete cure.

Industrial facilities often require equipment foundations after initial construction is complete. Adding foundations in existing buildings involves saw-cutting floor slabs, excavating subgrade, and constructing foundations that integrate with existing floor levels. We perform this work while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations.
