Concrete Valley Pans at Storage Tech in Denver

At Storage Tech on East 69th Avenue, our crew trenched, formed and poured concrete valley pans down the drive aisles, plus a formed concrete channel along the fence line, before the asphalt work.

  • Trench cut down the middle of a storage facility drive aisle, with wood forms on both sides and base material between them

    Trenched and Formed

    On the first day the crew cut a trench through the old asphalt down the center of each drive aisle, ran string lines along it and set wood forms on both sides with base material between them.

  • Asphalt Coatings Company finisher kneeling to level fresh concrete in a valley pan form beside storage buildings

    Poured and Finished

    Pouring started the next day. Finishers brought the concrete level with the tops of the forms, and the finished pans carry control joints and a broom finish.

  • Freshly paved asphalt drive aisle meeting a concrete edge in front of storage unit doors

    Paved Up to the Pans

    Nine days after the trenching the aisles were milled, and new asphalt went down the following day, meeting the concrete pans in front of the unit doors.

Curb and Gutter in Denver

Curbs and gutters carry water off a Denver parking lot to the inlets and give the pavement a defined edge, and we install, replace and repair them.

We build standard curb and gutter, rolled curb (the same profile some plans call mountable curb), barrier curb and custom profiles, plus the valley pans and drain pans that move water across a lot. Long straight runs go in by slip-form machine. Radius sections, intersection returns, islands and tight corners are formed by hand, and all of it is poured in air-entrained concrete.

When one curb section fails, we saw-cut it out at the joints and leave the sound sections alone. The crew recompacts the subgrade, matches the existing profile, ties the new section in with #4 rebar dowels and resets the flow line so water still reaches the inlet. Our own crew then patches the asphalt back against the new curb.

  • Consultation

    We look at drainage, traffic patterns and the profile you need before anything is set out.

  • Site preparation and forms

    The site is cleared, graded and given a stable base, then forms go in to the specified dimensions.

  • Pour and finish

    Slopes are built into the pour so the gutter carries water where the plan sends it.

  • Cure and inspect

    Curb concrete cures for at least 7 days before it takes traffic. We check the flow lines and reveal heights before close-out.

Where new curb ties into a public street, that is right-of-way work, and we handle the permit, the scheduling, the traffic control and the inspections.

Concrete Sidewalks and ADA Ramps

We pour new sidewalks, replace failed panels, grind trip hazards and build curb ramps with detectable warnings that line up with the accessible stalls.

  • Grind

    A raised joint between two sound panels is ground smooth with a diamond blade, including at the step onto a ramp.

  • Replace

    A broken or heaved panel is saw-cut at its control joints and removed with the compromised subgrade under it, then poured again on a recompacted base.

  • Lift

    A slab that sank but is still in one piece goes back to grade on polyurethane foam injected beneath it.

  • Survey

    Across a whole property we measure and locate each displacement and hand you a repair plan in priority order, with a grind or replace call for each.

What moved the panel decides the method. New runs and replacement panels are 4 inches thick with fiber mesh, control joints every 5 feet, expansion joints where they meet old concrete or a building, and a broom finish so the surface keeps its grip.

Curb ramps, landings and detectable warnings are formed and set against the accessible stall layout. We check the route as one piece, from the stall and access aisle up the ramp and along the walk to the entrance, because an overlay that lifts the asphalt at the ramp's toe, or a landing that settles, is usually what puts a ramp out of tolerance. With our asphalt crew on the same job, the joint where the walk meets the parking surface is set flush.

The Department of Justice treats resurfacing a parking lot as an alteration under the 2010 ADA Standards, so a repave is the time to look at the accessible route. Our striping page covers the ADA stall rules. For sidewalk work in the public right-of-way, we coordinate the permit and schedule the inspections.

Concrete Dumpster Pads

We size and reinforce dumpster pads and their approach aprons for the truck that services them.

  • Standard pads

    Front-load dumpsters sit on a reinforced slab at least 6 inches thick.

  • Heavy-duty pads

    Compactors, equipment staging and loading dock approach slabs get 8 inches, with thickened edges and extra dowels.

  • Reinforcement

    #4 rebar on 12-inch centers both ways, held up on chairs, and a thickened edge where the truck's outriggers bear down.

  • Equipment pads

    HVAC units, generators and transformers sit on pads sized to their footprint, with conduit sleeves cast in and bollards where they are needed.

Pad size comes from the vehicle that actually services your property, measured at the on-site assessment. The approach apron is part of the pad, so the truck stands and works on concrete instead of the asphalt in front of it, and the bollards, gate posts, enclosure footings, wheel stops and container guides are set in the same pour.

Every pad is graded at 2% or more to drain away from the enclosure. We rebuild the asphalt against the new slab ourselves, so the edge is flush and sealed. Where an old pad has cracked through under the truck, we replace it to a corrected specification.

We schedule the work with your waste hauler. Where the site allows, a temporary container spot keeps pickups going while the slab cures, and the pour can be set around your operating hours.

Parking Lot Islands and Concrete Stairs

We build raised islands that direct traffic and poured stairs with even risers at building entries and loading docks.

  • Traffic islands

    Raised medians separate lanes and steer cars through the lot, with directional islands at the entries.

  • Landscape islands

    Planter islands take a landscape curb, tree well protection, irrigation sleeves and root barriers.

  • Poured stairs

    Formed on site for entries, grade changes and dock access, with risers of 7 inches or less and treads of 11 inches or more.

  • Precast stairs

    Factory-made stair units are set on site in standard or custom configurations.

Islands get a 6-inch curb reveal to hold vehicles back, drainage grading built in, and bollards at exposed corners set in their own footings, apart from the slab. Large lots can add pedestrian refuge islands at crosswalk midpoints.

On poured stairs, a contrasting nosing goes in during the pour, handrail posts are embedded at least 12 inches and the treads get a broom finish. Islands, pads and stairs are all poured in air-entrained concrete. A worn flight does not have to be replaced whole: we resurface spalled treads, replace nosings and re-anchor handrail posts.

Commercial Concrete Repair in Denver

We repair cracked, settled and spalled commercial concrete, replacing what has failed and grinding or lifting what is still sound.

Repair fits concrete that is still sound underneath.

  • Spalling or scaling on the surface only: partial-depth repair with a bonding agent and polymer-modified material
  • A raised joint between two sound panels: diamond grinding
  • A slab that settled in one piece: foam lifting
  • Voids under a slab from washout or a sunken utility trench: foam void fill

Replacement is the answer when the concrete itself has failed.

  • Cracking that runs the full depth of the slab
  • Heaving that has broken a panel into pieces
  • Settlement that foam lifting cannot correct
  • Spalling that goes down through the section

Before we price a repair we find out why the concrete failed, whether freeze-thaw, soil movement, poor compaction, water getting in, deicers, tree roots or heavy loads. Then we correct the subgrade, drainage or detailing so the new concrete is not poured on top of the old problem.

The work covers curb and gutter, sidewalks, drain pans and the rest of the site concrete, including failed joint sealant and a penetrating sealer against water and deicers. A trip-hazard survey ranks every displacement on the property with a grind-or-replace call and a price for each one. Concrete repair can share one scope with pothole repair and asphalt removal and replacement, which our parking lot maintenance and repair page covers.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are the questions Denver property managers ask most about commercial concrete.

Our work

Do You Pour Residential Concrete in Denver?

No. We work on commercial properties only: apartment complexes, HOA communities and townhomes, office parks, shopping centers, schools, hotels, churches, healthcare centers, warehouses and municipal sites. Home driveways and patios are outside our work.

Can Concrete and Asphalt Be Done Together?

Yes. Our in-house crews pour the concrete and rebuild the asphalt against it, so the joint between the two is set flush by the company that built both sides. Pads, curb and gutter repair, pothole repair and asphalt removal and replacement can all go on one scope.

Permits and timing

Do You Need a Permit to Pour Concrete in Denver?

That depends on where the concrete goes. Work in the public right-of-way, such as a sidewalk at the street or curb that ties into a public street, needs a right-of-way permit, and we confirm the permits your project needs before we schedule it.

Who Is Responsible for Sidewalk Repair in Denver?

The City of Denver runs a sidewalk program, so check with the City about a walk along a public street. For the walks on your own property, and for any street sidewalk you decide to repair, we scope the work, coordinate the right-of-way permit where one is needed and schedule the inspections.

How Long Before New Concrete Can Take Traffic?

Curb concrete cures for at least seven days before it takes traffic, and so do pads, islands and stairs before they carry loads. On a sidewalk, the crew gives you the foot-traffic window before it leaves the site, because that depends on temperature, the mix and the loading. A pad that takes a loaded collection truck needs longer to gain strength than a walk, and we state its window for your project.

Estimates

What Does a Concrete Estimate Include?

A project manager walks the property, inspects the concrete and the pavement around it, photographs the damage and works out what caused it. You then get a written scope at no cost and with no obligation: the method for each area, thickness and reinforcement, joint placement, drainage and any permits, with itemized pricing. You can also reach the Denver Metro headquarters through our contact page.

What Drives the Cost of Commercial Concrete?

Area or linear footage, thickness and reinforcement, demolition and disposal, subgrade correction, formwork, ADA ramps and detectable warnings, the asphalt restored around the new concrete, access and phasing. Each element is priced as its own line, so a board can approve the urgent items now and phase the rest into later budget years.
