Loading Docks and Aprons

Loading dock construction creates the interface between distribution facilities and the trucks serving them throughout the DFW Metroplex. Properly constructed dock areas enable efficient loading and unloading operations while withstanding the demands of heavy trailer traffic. We build dock infrastructure that performs under continuous commercial use.

Dock approach construction handles the heaviest loads on any industrial site. Trailer landing gear creates concentrated point loads. Backed trailers shift and settle. We construct dock approaches with thickened concrete sections designed for these specific loading conditions.

Dock wall and bumper construction provides the building interface. Concrete walls support dock equipment-levelers, restraints, and bumpers. We coordinate with dock equipment suppliers to properly locate embeds and mounting provisions.

Slope management at docks balances drainage with operability. Positive drainage prevents water accumulation at dock doors. But excessive slopes create trailer positioning problems. We achieve the proper balance for safe, functional dock operations.

Dock numbering, striping, and signage organize truck operations. We install markings and signage coordinated with facility operations. Clear identification enables efficient truck routing and dock assignment.
