Warehouse & Industrial Floors in Lawrence, KS

Lawrence's position as Douglas County's largest city and home to the University of Kansas creates unique demands for industrial and warehouse concrete flooring. The Eudora-Reading series silty clay-loam soils underlying most of Lawrence provide better drainage than the heavy clays found farther east, but still contain enough clay content to cause seasonal movement beneath concrete slabs. Your warehouse concrete floor contractor in Lawrence, KS must understand how these soil conditions interact with the region's 38 freeze-thaw cycles per year and 40 inches of annual precipitation. Ford Concrete brings 11 years of experience working with Douglas County's specific ground conditions, ensuring your industrial concrete floors can handle heavy equipment loads while remaining stable through Lawrence's seasonal soil movement.
