About Loading Dock Construction
Loading dock construction creates the critical interface between buildings and the trucks that serve them. For distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and commercial buildings throughout the DFW Metroplex, properly constructed loading docks are essential to operations.
As your general contractor for loading dock construction, we build complete dock systems including approach slabs, pit walls, dock floors, and equipment foundations. Our work coordinates with building construction, dock equipment suppliers, and site work to deliver functional loading facilities.
Loading dock construction requires understanding how trucks maneuver, how dock equipment operates, and how facility operations flow. We build docks that work for actual operations, not just docks that look good on drawings. This operational focus comes from years of building loading facilities throughout North Texas.
The DFW logistics market has driven significant loading dock construction as distribution centers and fulfillment facilities expand throughout the region. Our crews have built docks serving facilities from small distribution operations to major e-commerce fulfillment centers.
