Frequently Asked Questions: Commercial Concrete Parking Lots, Loading Docks & Dolly Pads in Minnetonka, MN

How quickly can heavy trucks drive on a newly poured loading dock pad or dolly pad in Minnetonka?

With our commercial high-early-strength 5,000–6,000 PSI mix designs, loading dock aprons and dolly pads in Opus 2 Business Park (UnitedHealthcare, Medica, Abbott/St. Jude med-tech loop), Carlson Center Corporate Campus (I-494 & I-394), Ridgedale Regional Commercial District, Bren Road / Baker Road Industrial Corridor achieve 3,500+ PSI compressive strength within 48 to 72 hours, minimizing disruption to your shipping schedule.

Why should our Minnetonka 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.
