Commercial and Industrial Concrete in North Carolina

Our concrete contractors specialize in heavy-duty applications such as driveway aprons, dumpster pads, loading dock areas and machinery pads. Concrete is the ideal material for handling heavy vehicle loads and is particularly effective in areas where downward force is concentrated, such as at dumpster locations.

Additionally, concrete outperforms asphalt in environments where large, heavy vehicles frequently turn their tires while stationary—making it the preferred material for many commercial and industrial sites. If you’re comparing materials, our team can help you determine whether concrete or asphalt is the best fit for your project

Concrete vs. Asphalt Paving

When choosing a surface for your commercial or industrial site, there are many factors to consider beyond just the material. For concrete, important variables include:

• The strength of the mix
• Amount of water
• Thickness
• Grades
• Slump
• Yield
• Amount and configuration of rebar
• Mesh

The most important consideration, however, is understanding the end user and how the surface will be used. Considering vehicle weight loads and frequency are crucial for installing a cost-effective pad that will stand the test of time. Ambient concrete temperature and precipitation conditions also play a significant role.

Ensure you discuss not only what is being done with your contractor, but also why it is being done. Due to the high cost of concrete, you of course want to avoid having to remove and redo any work. That’s why working with a knowledgeable concrete company like Raleigh Paving ensures the job is done right the first time.

Concrete Frequently Asked Questions

What does a concrete contractor do?

A concrete contractor specializes in installing, maintaining, and repairing concrete surfaces like sidewalks, curbs, dumpster pads, and driveways. At Raleigh Paving, we handle both small-scale repairs and large commercial or industrial paving projects across North Carolina.

How do I know if I need concrete or asphalt paving?

Concrete is ideal for heavy-duty areas such as loading docks, dumpster pads, and places with frequent turning of large vehicles. Asphalt is better for flexibility and cost-efficiency in high-traffic areas. Our team can assess your site and recommend the best material for your needs.

How thick should commercial concrete be?

Thickness depends on usage. For light-duty parking lots, 4–5 inches may suffice. For heavy-duty areas like dumpster pads or loading docks, 6–8 inches or more is often required. As an experienced concrete company, we ensure your surface is built to last.
