Industrial Equipment Pad Construction Texas
Precision concrete foundations for your critical equipment. From housekeeping pads to heavy machine foundations, we build the bases your operations depend on.
Equipment foundations translate machine requirements into concrete structures. From simple housekeeping pads under electrical panels to massive foundations for heavy machinery, each installation must meet specific dimensional, strength, and vibration requirements. Our equipment pad crews understand these demands and deliver precision construction.
Industrial facilities contain diverse equipment requiring specialized foundations. HVAC units, generators, pumps, compressors, transformers, and production machinery all have unique foundation requirements. We coordinate with equipment suppliers and engineers to ensure foundations meet every specification.
Anchor bolt placement demands particular attention. Equipment mounting patterns must align precisely with bolt locations cast into concrete. Our layout and placement procedures achieve the accuracy that successful equipment installation requires.

Project Specifications
Foundation design begins with equipment documentation. Weight, dimensions, dynamic loads, and vibration characteristics all affect foundation requirements. We review equipment submittals and coordinate with structural engineers to develop appropriate foundation designs.
Housekeeping pads provide level, cleanable surfaces for equipment mounting. These simple foundations elevate equipment above floor level, protect against water damage, and facilitate maintenance access. We construct housekeeping pads with proper drainage slopes and edge details.
Machine foundations for heavy or vibrating equipment require specialized construction. Mass concrete absorbs vibration energy. Isolation joints prevent vibration transmission to adjacent structures. Reinforcement patterns resist dynamic loading. We implement these features per engineering specifications.
Anchor bolt installation determines equipment installation success. We use templates, precision layout, and careful concrete placement to achieve required accuracy. Post installation surveys verify bolt locations before equipment arrives. This attention to detail prevents costly field modifications.

Common Questions
How do you ensure anchor bolt accuracy for equipment mounting?
We use manufacturer provided templates, precision layout using total station instruments, and careful concrete placement to achieve anchor bolt accuracy. Post pour surveys document actual locations. Typical tolerance is plus or minus 1/8 inch for critical equipment.
What information do you need to construct equipment foundations?
We need equipment weights, dimensions, anchor bolt patterns, and any special requirements such as vibration isolation or drainage provisions. Equipment submittals typically contain this information. Structural engineer foundation designs are required for heavy or dynamic equipment.
When should equipment foundations be constructed relative to building construction?
Timing depends on equipment type and building sequence. Exterior equipment foundations often install with site work. Interior foundations may pour with building slab or after building completion. We coordinate timing with overall project schedule.
Do equipment pads require reinforcement?
Reinforcement requirements depend on foundation size, loads, and soil conditions. Housekeeping pads may use fiber reinforcement. Heavy equipment foundations typically require conventional reinforcing steel per structural engineer design.
How do you handle equipment foundation changes during construction?
Equipment changes after foundation construction can require foundation modification or reconstruction. We recommend finalizing equipment selections before foundation construction. When changes occur, we evaluate options and implement appropriate solutions.
