Frequently Asked Questions: Commercial Concrete Parking Lots, Loading Docks & Dolly Pads in Eden Prairie, MN
How quickly can heavy trucks drive on a newly poured loading dock pad or dolly pad in Eden Prairie?
With our commercial high-early-strength 5,000–6,000 PSI mix designs, loading dock aprons and dolly pads in Golden Triangle Business Park (Optum, C.H. Robinson, Starkey corridor), Southwest Station Commercial District, Flying Cloud Drive Industrial Corridor, Shady Oak Business Center, Prairie Center Retail & Medical Core achieve 3,500+ PSI compressive strength within 48 to 72 hours, minimizing disruption to your shipping schedule.
Why should our Eden Prairie facility replace our asphalt dumpster area with an 8-inch concrete pad?
Front-load garbage trucks weigh over 60,000 lbs and concentrate massive braking and lifting forces on their front wheels right in front of the enclosure. An 8-inch rebar-reinforced concrete pad and approach apron permanently eliminates recurring asphalt holes.
