Warehouse slabs and site work in North Florida

Warehouse slabs and site work in North Florida: what to know

Most of a warehouse's working life happens on the slab, so it is designed for what will roll and stand on it: rack base plates, forklift wheels, scissor lifts. A geotechnical report guides how the subgrade is compacted, and the slab design sets thickness, reinforcement and where control joints fall so they stay out of the busiest wheel paths. Around the building, site work covers grading, the truck court and parking, utility runs, and the stormwater system the permit requires.
