Heavy-Duty Reinforced Concrete for Yard & Loading Bay — Deeside

Case Study: Heavy-Duty Reinforced Concrete for Yard & Loading Bay

Location: Deeside Industrial Estate, North Wales
Client Type: Logistics & Distribution


Project Scope

The client required a durable, low-maintenance surface for their busy warehouse yard and loading bays. Existing concrete had deteriorated under constant heavy vehicle traffic, creating hazards and slowing operations.

Works included:

  • Full excavation and removal of damaged concrete.
  • Installation of new reinforced concrete slabs, designed to withstand continuous HGV use.
  • Precision levelling for drainage and smooth vehicle movement.
  • Jointing and curing process to maximise strength and minimise cracking.
  • Jointing and curing process to maximise strength and minimise cracking.
  • Final finishing and line marking of loading bays for safety and efficiency.

Challenges

  • Continuous site activity: The distribution hub needed to remain operational during works.

  • Weight load requirements: Surfaces had to be engineered for 40+ tonne vehicles.

  • Weather disruption: Heavy rain risked delaying curing times.

Our Solution

To keep the client’s operations running, we phased the works: completing one section at a time so trucks could continue using alternative bays.
We used C40/50 grade reinforced concrete with heavy mesh and dowel bars to achieve long-term durability. Our team applied advanced curing methods and protective sealing to counter the wet weather conditions.


Outcome

  • Seamless operations: Zero disruption to warehouse schedules.

  • Longevity: Surface designed to perform for 20+ years under high load.

  • Safety improved: Clear line marking and level finishes reduced on-site risks.

“CBR Commercials handled the job professionally from start to finish. The yard is now safer, smoother, and built to last.”

  • Finished loading bay with fresh line markings.


Thinking Ahead

This project demonstrates how reinforced concrete solutions can transform high-traffic commercial yards. By combining structural engineering with practical phasing, we deliver robust, reliable results for clients who can’t afford downtime.
