About Equipment Pads & Foundations
Equipment pads and foundations support the mechanical, electrical, and industrial equipment that makes buildings function. From HVAC equipment pads to manufacturing machinery foundations, proper equipment support is essential to equipment performance and longevity.
As your general contractor for equipment foundations, we construct pads and bases ranging from simple concrete pads to complex foundations with vibration isolation, precise anchor bolt patterns, and specialty concrete requirements. Our crews understand both the concrete work and the equipment it supports.
Equipment foundations require coordination between mechanical, electrical, and structural trades to ensure equipment installs correctly. We work with equipment suppliers during design to confirm foundation requirements, then execute construction to tight tolerances.
The variety of equipment in commercial and industrial buildings means equipment foundations come in many configurations. We've built foundations for generators, chillers, cooling towers, compressors, presses, CNC equipment, and many other specialized systems throughout the DFW area.
What's Included
- Foundation design coordination
- Excavation or slab demolition
- Formwork construction
- Reinforcement installation

Frequently asked questions
Equipment Pads & Foundations in Irving, TX
Common questions from developers and property owners planning equipment pads & foundations projects across North Texas.
How do you determine equipment foundation requirements?
Equipment foundation design starts with equipment supplier information—weight, anchor patterns, vibration characteristics, and any special requirements. We coordinate this information with structural engineering to develop appropriate foundations.
What about foundations for vibrating equipment?
Vibrating equipment like presses, compressors, and generators may require isolated foundations that prevent vibration transmission to building structures. These foundations have specialized designs with mass requirements and isolation systems.
How precise do anchor bolt locations need to be?
Anchor bolt tolerances depend on equipment requirements—some equipment accepts standard tolerances while others require precision placement within 1/8 inch. We construct to specified tolerances and verify placement before concrete placement.
Can you retrofit equipment foundations in existing buildings?
Yes, we construct new equipment foundations within existing buildings, including selective demolition of existing slabs and construction of new pads. This work requires careful planning around ongoing operations.
