Pads and Bollards

COMMERCIAL CONCRETE DUMPSTER PAD INSTALLATION

Concrete is the best material to use for dumpster pads for many reasons. Metal dumpsters and trash trucks exert a large amount of downward force on the pavement.

Since concrete is a rigid material, it will not develop dents and dimples in the surface as asphalt does, leading to premature failure.
If wire mesh or metal rebar is introduced into the slab, it will make an extremely strong concrete and steel matrix that will hold up much longer than asphalt under the heavy load of a trash truck.

The concrete dumpster pad should extend out an additional 10 – 15 feet in front of the dumpster. By doing this, the front wheels of the trash truck can sit on the pad, which will absorb this extremely heavy load. Trash trucks are notoriously leaky due to the heavy strain on their hydraulic system; however, concrete is not adversely affected by oil. The hydraulic fluid or other oil that leaks from the trash truck will soften asphalt but will not soften the concrete slab.

COMMERCIAL CONCRETE BOLLARD INSTALLATION

Our concrete bollards are reinforced to provide additional strength and resistance to cracking from temperature fluctuations as well as minor impacts. These concrete bollards have a smooth finish with no visible aggregate, insuring a clean modern finish. Perfect for outdoor recreation areas such as parks and trails as well as bus benches, large corners and walkways in downtown areas, common spaces near high-rise buildings and large retail store entrances.
