Trent Construction Services’ track record includes concrete hardstanding projects for major waste management and recycling facilities, distribution centres, and industrial sites nationwide. We specialise in high-specification surfaces for sites handling exceptional loads, from waste transfer stations to logistics hubs.
Our surfaces are engineered to handle intense loads, heavy vehicle traffic, and demanding industrial operations.
Hardstandings are often installed on projects where we’ve also constructed the internal factory floors and warehouse floors.
Industrial concrete hardstanding requires precise engineering to ensure long-term performance. The surface must withstand constant heavy loads, resist cracking, provide proper drainage, and maintain its structural integrity under intense daily use. Key factors include concrete depth, reinforcement type, and surface finish – all carefully specified based on your operational requirements.
Engineered Strength and Drainage
Each hardstanding project incorporates steel mesh reinforcement throughout the entire surface, ensuring superior strength and crack resistance. Integrated drainage channels manage surface water effectively – critical for preventing pooling and maintaining safe operations in all weather conditions. The final surface is power-floated to create a dense, durable finish that stands up to heavy industrial use.
Ground Preparation and Long-Term Performance
Every hardstanding project begins with thorough ground preparation. The sub-base must be properly compacted and leveled to prevent future settlement issues. This foundation work, combined with precise joint placement and high-grade concrete, ensures surfaces that perform for decades under intense industrial use.
Additional Features
Industrial hardstanding often requires specific features for operational efficiency. These can include marked loading bays, designated heavy plant areas, and chemical resistant surfaces – particularly important in waste transfer facilities for example. All surfaces are designed to meet relevant industrial standards and environmental regulations.
Specialist Concrete Capabilities
From nuclear installations to waste processing facilities, we deliver concrete surfaces engineered for highly specialised environments. Each project demands unique specifications – whether it’s exceptional load-bearing requirements, chemical resistance, or precise surface tolerances. Our experience in these demanding sectors means we understand complex compliance requirements and can deliver surfaces that meet the most exacting industry standards.
