Heavy Duty Truck Courts and Trailer Yards

Heavy-duty truck courts and trailer yards demand concrete construction that withstands punishing daily use. Distribution centers, logistics facilities, and manufacturing operations throughout North Richland Hills and the DFW Metroplex depend on properly designed and constructed exterior concrete to support their transportation operations. We specialize in industrial-grade concrete flatwork engineered for the specific loading conditions of commercial trucking operations.

Truck court concrete must accommodate concentrated point loads from trailer landing gear, turning stresses from tractor-trailers, and repeated traffic patterns that create wear. Standard commercial paving approaches are inadequate for these demands. Our truck court construction uses thickened slabs, properly designed joint patterns, and high-strength concrete mixes that deliver long-term performance under industrial loading.

Trailer yard construction serves different requirements than active truck courts. Yards where trailers sit for extended periods experience point loads from landing gear that can cause localized failure if not properly addressed. We construct trailer yards with thickened sections at landing gear locations and joint patterns that minimize maintenance requirements.

Concrete pavement design for truck courts incorporates multiple factors: soil conditions, anticipated traffic volumes, truck weights, and operating patterns. We work with project engineers to verify designs account for actual operating conditions. For speculative developments, we apply industry-standard designs that accommodate typical distribution center operations.

Joint layout is critical in truck court construction. Poorly located joints fail prematurely, creating maintenance headaches and safety concerns. We plan joint patterns that account for panel sizing, traffic patterns, and slab thickness transitions. Proper sawcutting timing prevents random cracking that undermines pavement performance.
