- Slabs Foundations
The slab is the part of a project you never want to get wrong — everything built on top
depends on it. Express Metered Concrete pours house slabs, building and shed pads, garage
and workshop floors, equipment pads, and specialty foundations, with the correct strength
mix and the exact volume your forms call for. Because we mix fresh on site, the concrete
stays fresh through the entire pour and the mix matches the spec exactly — two things that
matter enormously when the pour is the foundation of the whole job.
Why On-Site Mixing Matters for Foundations
A foundation pour has to be right the first time — there’s no easy fix once a slab is placed
and cured. Two things put that at risk with traditional delivery: concrete that starts curing
on the drive (a hot load), and a mix that doesn’t precisely match the engineer’s spec. On-site
volumetric mixing addresses both. The concrete is made fresh at the point of placement, so
it’s fully workable through the whole pour, and because the materials are combined on site,
we can hit the specified mix design exactly — including custom designs to meet ACI, ASTM,
AASHTO, and DOT requirements when your engineer calls for them. For a large slab that
has to pour continuously, the ability to keep fresh concrete coming without a cold joint is
exactly what you want.
Slab & Foundation Work We Do
- House and building slabs for new construction and additions.
- Shed, garage, and workshop pads.
- Equipment and machinery pads engineered for heavy loads.
- Column and pier pours, including raising homes on columns after flooding.
Built to Spec, from 3,000 to 5,000 PSI
We produce mixes from 3,000 to 5,000 PSI and build custom designs to meet engineered
specifications. On-site mixing lets us match the spec exactly and keep the concrete fresh
through the entire pour, whether it’s a residential slab, a heavy equipment pad, or a
structural foundation. Our trucks are calibrated, so the volume you’re billed for is the
volume placed — useful documentation on spec-driven work.
A Real Foundation Project
“I’m very happy with how the concrete foundation turned out (12’x20’ with ramp). Honest and
trustworthy — the price was very fair and I’m thrilled with the results.” — Kent C., San Antonio, TX
Why Choose Express for Slabs & Foundations
You get the correct-strength, spec-matched mix, fresh concrete through the whole pour, and
calibrated metered billing — plus the flexibility to adjust on site, 24/7 scheduling for early
foundation pours, and a family-owned, ACI-member team that treats the most important
part of your project with the care it deserves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What PSI do I need for a house slab or foundation?
It depends on the structure and your
engineer’s design — we pour from 3,000 to 5,000 PSI and build custom mixes to meet
engineered specs. We’ll match exactly what your project calls for.
Can you match my engineer’s mix design?
Yes. Because we combine the materials on site,
we can hit specified mix designs precisely, including designs certified to ACI, ASTM,
AASHTO, and DOT standards.
Can you pour a large slab in one continuous pour?
Yes — on-site metering keeps fresh
concrete coming so large slabs finish continuously, avoiding the cold joints that come from a
truck running short mid-pour.
Do you pour equipment pads and specialty foundations?
Yes. We pour equipment and
machinery pads engineered for heavy loads, column and pier pours, and specialty
foundations, including raising homes on columns after flooding.
