About Logistics Yard Hardstands
Logistics yard hardstands and heavy-duty paving support the warehousing and distribution operations driving North Texas economic growth. Trailer storage areas, truck yards, intermodal container handling zones—these concrete surfaces must withstand heavy loads, intensive use, and the efficiency demands of modern logistics.
As your general contractor for logistics concrete, we deliver yard hardstands engineered for the specific loads these operations generate. Loaded trailers create heavy point loads; container handling equipment imposes dynamic forces; truck maneuvering demands robust concrete edges and joints resistant to chipping and spalling.
The DFW logistics corridor—particularly around DFW Airport, along I-20, and near intermodal facilities—generates massive demand for heavy-duty yard paving. Distribution centers for major retailers, third-party logistics providers, and e-commerce fulfillment operations all require extensive concrete hardstands as critical operational infrastructure.
Logistics concrete differs from standard parking lots—thicker sections (typically 8-10 inches), heavy-duty reinforcement, tight joint spacing, and often specialized joint designs to handle loaded trailer legs without edge failure. We engineer and construct these systems based on proven logistics industry standards.

Frequently asked questions
Logistics Yard Hardstands in Irving, TX
Common questions from developers and property owners planning logistics yard hardstands projects across North Texas.
What makes logistics yard concrete different from parking lots?
Logistics yards support heavier loads (loaded trailers, container handling equipment), experience more intensive use, and require thicker concrete sections, enhanced reinforcement, and specialized joints resistant to edge loading from trailer jacks.
How thick should trailer yard concrete be?
Trailer storage and container yards typically require 8-10 inch concrete sections with #4 or #5 rebar reinforcement. Exact thickness depends on subgrade conditions, equipment loads, and operational use patterns.
Can you phase logistics concrete around operational facilities?
Yes, most logistics yard expansions occur at operational distribution centers. We phase paving to maintain truck access and trailer storage capacity, working in sections that allow continuous facility operation during construction.
What about drainage for large logistics yards?
Drainage is critical for heavy-duty yards—standing water damages concrete and creates operational hazards. We integrate area drains, provide proper slopes, and design systems that keep large paved areas well-drained despite Texas rainfall.
