A slab on grade is a concrete foundation poured onto a prepared ground surface, typically compacted soil or a gravel base. Unlike elevated slabs, which are raised off the ground using supports like columns or beams, slabs on grade are cast directly on the ground. Their durability, flexibility and efficiency make them a popular choice for commercial and industrial buildings requiring a strong, stable base.
Concrete grade slabs create a strong foundation that resists wear, maintains stability and helps reduce energy consumption. Here’s why they’re a reliable choice:
Slabs on grade are a versatile solution for various commercial applications, including industrial facilities, warehouses, parking lots and commercial building foundations. They provide a reliable, low-maintenance option for supporting heavy equipment, foot traffic and vehicles in diverse settings.
Concrete slab foundations are ideal for warmer climates where frost heave is unlikely to pose a problem. They are particularly well-suited for environments where durability and stability are essential.
