Commercial Concrete Structural Reinforcement

Strengthen Existing Concrete. Prevent Future Failure. Support Heavy Use.

Over time, even well-installed concrete can become vulnerable to cracking, shifting, or structural failure—especially under constant use or heavy loads. Total Paving & Brick Services provides structural reinforcement solutions to restore integrity, increase load-bearing capacity, and extend the life of your concrete surfaces without the need for full replacement.

This service is ideal for high-demand areas where concrete must perform under pressure, including drive lanes, dumpster pads, loading docks, and industrial access points.

What Is Structural Reinforcement?

Structural reinforcement involves strengthening existing or newly poured concrete to improve its durability and performance. This can include the installation or integration of:

  • Steel rebar or mesh reinforcement
  • Thickened edge sections or footings
  • Dowels between adjacent slabs or joints
  • Concrete overlay or structural patching
  • Improved sub-base support

These methods help concrete resist cracking, displacement, and long-term wear from repeated use or environmental stress.

Why Choose Total Paving?

  • Designed for Heavy Use – We reinforce areas subject to trucks, forklifts, dumpsters, or high pedestrian traffic
  • Subgrade Expertise – We ensure the foundation is properly compacted and stable before reinforcing concrete
  • Built for Longevity – Reinforced concrete resists freeze-thaw cycles, impact stress, and rutting over time
  • Avoid Full Replacement – Strengthen existing slabs with targeted reinforcement instead of complete demo
  • Integrated Solutions – We combine reinforcement with other concrete repair or replacement services as needed

What’s Included in Our Reinforcement Services

Each project begins with a site evaluation to assess structural condition and determine the appropriate reinforcement method. Our services include:

  • Saw cutting and removal of compromised concrete sections (if needed)
  • Sub-base regrading and compaction
  • Installation of steel rebar, mesh, or dowel bars
  • Pouring and curing new concrete with proper thickness and joint placement
  • Integration with adjacent pavement or structures

We follow best practices for joint spacing, reinforcement overlap, and slab sizing to reduce cracking and maximize performance.
