When does a dock apron need replacing rather than patching?

When trucks and forklifts have broken the slab through, not just chipped its surface, and when the base underneath has started to move. The walk report photographs the apron and says which it is.

Can the dock keep running?

An apron is out of service while it cures, so the work has to be planned around deliveries. Scheduling around shifts and deliveries: owner to confirm. The report sets out the sections so a plant can keep one door working while the next is poured.

Questions

Loading docks and truck pads: questions managers ask.

Do you do heavy industrial flatwork?

Yes. “We have provided parking lots, trucking terminals, tank supply foundations, and industrial flatwork for over 20 years.” That line is from Lemus's own home page.

Can you work with our engineer's spec?

Yes. Lemus works with builders, architects, engineers and material suppliers, and their work meets or exceeds state and local codes.

Do you do the truck court too?

Yes, in concrete. The report lists the apron, the court and the approaches as separate lines.
