Concrete Work for Commercial and Industrial Properties

District Concrete provides commercial concrete solutions for properties throughout Lafayette and the entire state of Louisiana.

Your property handles daily foot traffic, delivery trucks, and equipment loads that residential concrete is not built to support. District Concrete works with builders, property managers, and business owners in Lafayette and throughout Louisiana to pour flatwork, pads, walkways, and structural slabs designed for higher traffic loads and long-term performance.

Each project is coordinated with your timeline and site conditions, whether you are adding to an existing building, preparing a new development, or repairing worn surfaces. The work accounts for local commercial development patterns and the soil movement common to Lafayette and surrounding areas. You get concrete that supports your operations without requiring constant maintenance or early replacement.

What Commercial Projects Require

District Concrete coordinates site access, material delivery, and pour schedules to minimize disruption to your business operations. Flatwork and pads are formed and reinforced to handle heavier loads than residential concrete, and walkways are poured with proper slope and texture to meet safety and accessibility standards. In Louisiana, where commercial sites often deal with poor drainage and clay soils, the prep work includes grading and compaction to reduce settling over time.

After the concrete cures, you will see surfaces that drain water efficiently, stay level under vehicle and equipment weight, and resist cracking from daily use. Walkways remain slip-resistant even during rain, and pads support machinery or storage without sinking. The edges stay intact, which reduces trip hazards and keeps your property looking maintained.

The scope does not include asphalt work, underground utilities, or landscaping unless arranged separately. Curing time depends on the thickness and load requirements, but most surfaces are ready for light use within a week.

What Property Managers and Builders Ask

Commercial property owners in Lafayette and throughout Louisiana usually want to know about load capacity, scheduling, and how the concrete will perform under heavy use before moving forward.

What is the difference between commercial and residential concrete?
Commercial concrete is typically thicker and reinforced with more steel to handle heavier loads from vehicles, equipment, and foot traffic. It also requires more attention to grading and drainage.
How do you coordinate work around an active business?
District Concrete schedules pours during off-hours or in phases to keep access open. You will know the timeline ahead of time so you can plan around it.
Why does load capacity matter for commercial slabs?
Slabs and pads need to support the weight of delivery trucks, forklifts, or heavy equipment without cracking or settling. The thickness and reinforcement are adjusted based on what the surface will carry.
How long before the concrete can handle full traffic?
Light foot traffic is usually safe after three to five days, but full vehicle or equipment loads should wait at least a week. Heavier loads may require two weeks depending on the slab thickness.

What site prep is required for commercial concrete in Louisiana?

District Concrete clears the area, grades for drainage, and compacts the soil to prevent settling. A gravel base is often added to stabilize the ground and control moisture underneath the slab.

District Concrete serves commercial and industrial properties across Lafayette with concrete solutions built for higher traffic, heavier loads, and long-term durability. Reach out today to discuss your project and schedule an estimate.
