Industrial facilities put concrete through punishing conditions. Forklifts, heavy machinery, chemical exposure, and constant traffic demand a slab that holds up for decades, not just a few seasons.
Papaneri and Sons Concrete has been pouring industrial-grade concrete in Cherry Hill and across South Jersey since 1987. We are a family-owned, licensed, and insured NJ contractor with ACI certification backing every project we take on.
Whether you need a new warehouse floor, a reinforced loading dock, or a large equipment pad, we bring the right mix, the right crew, and the permits to match. We do not cut corners on industrial work because industrial clients cannot afford downtime from a slab that fails.

Every industrial pour starts with a site assessment. We look at the load requirements, substrate conditions, drainage needs, and any access constraints before we quote a single square foot.
We handle subgrade preparation ourselves. That means grading, compaction testing, and placement of the appropriate base material so the slab has a solid foundation that will not shift or settle unevenly under load.
Reinforcement is sized to the job. Industrial slabs typically require rebar grids or post-tension cables depending on the load class and span. We spec this out precisely and do not guess.
On pour day our crew works efficiently to place, strike, and finish the concrete within the pour window. We control finishing timing carefully because a warehouse floor with a poor surface profile causes equipment wear and safety issues down the road.
After the pour we manage curing to protect the slab during its critical early strength gain. Industrial concrete is not ready for heavy traffic the day after it is placed, and we make that timeline clear so you can plan around it.
Standard residential concrete is typically mixed to 3000 PSI. That is fine for a driveway. It is not enough for a warehouse floor that sees constant forklift traffic or a dock that takes repeated impact from heavy equipment.
Every Papaneri industrial slab uses our stronger 4500 PSI mix as a baseline. Higher PSI concrete resists surface abrasion, chemical penetration, and freeze-thaw cycling better than lower-strength mixes. For your facility, that means fewer repairs and longer service life.
We also match fiber reinforcement, admixtures, and joint spacing to your specific use case. A food-processing facility floor has different requirements than a steel fabrication shop, and we spec accordingly.
Slab thickness is calculated against your heaviest anticipated loads, not just a round number. We have poured industrial slabs ranging from 5 inches for light warehousing up to 10 inches or more for heavy manufacturing environments.
All work is backed by our ACI certification, which means our team is trained and tested on concrete placement and finishing standards used by engineers and facility managers who require documented quality.
Industrial concrete is not a single product. The term covers a wide range of applications, and the right solution depends on your facility type, load profile, and site conditions.
Warehouse and distribution center floors are our most common industrial project. We pour flat, durable slabs designed to handle the repetitive load cycles of pallet jacks and forklifts without cracking or curling.
Loading dock slabs and aprons take the hardest daily abuse of any slab on a commercial or industrial site. We reinforce these areas heavily and pay special attention to the joint details where the dock meets the building.
Equipment pads and machinery foundations require precise flatwork to keep equipment level and vibration from causing structural issues. We work with your equipment specs to pour to the tolerances your machinery requires.
Trench drains and sloped floors for facilities that handle liquids, wash-down operations, or food processing need careful grade control and often include cast-in-place drains. We handle both the concrete and the drain installation coordination.
Secondary containment slabs for chemical storage and fuel containment are poured with specific mix designs and sealers to meet regulatory requirements.
All of these are part of the concrete services we offer in Cherry Hill. If your project also involves site improvements like a commercial concrete driveway or approach or a structural concrete slab installation, we can combine scopes and handle everything under one contract.

Industrial concrete projects in Cherry Hill and across Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester counties almost always require permits. The scope, the slab thickness, and the occupancy type all affect what is required before a shovel goes in the ground.
We handle the permit process for every project we take on. That includes preparing the documentation, submitting to the township, and scheduling inspections. You do not need to manage that process yourself or hire a separate expediter.
Working with a permitted contractor also protects you if a question comes up during a future sale or refinancing of the property. A slab that was poured without a permit can become a liability. Our paperwork creates a clean record from the start.
Our crew is experienced with Cherry Hill township requirements as well as the requirements in Mount Laurel, Marlton, Moorestown, Voorhees, Cinnaminson, Evesham, Haddonfield, and Camden. We know what each municipality wants and we have passed inspections in all of them.
If your project has specific engineer-of-record requirements or third-party inspection needs, we coordinate with those parties as well. We are used to working inside larger project teams on commercial and industrial sites.
Industrial concrete projects have real consequences when they go wrong. A failing floor shuts down operations. A bad dock slab creates safety hazards. Clients come to us because they need it done right the first time, and they need a contractor who will stand behind the work.
We have been pouring concrete in South Jersey for 39 years. That longevity means we have seen what holds up and what does not, and we bring that experience to every industrial project.
Our standard mix exceeds what most competitors use. For industrial applications where loads are heavy and traffic is constant, a stronger mix means a longer-lasting slab with fewer repairs over time.
We pull all required permits and schedule inspections so you do not have to. Your project stays compliant and you have documentation to back it up.
Our ACI certification confirms that our team is trained on the placement, finishing, and testing standards that engineers and facility managers require on industrial projects.
It depends on the loads the floor needs to carry. Light warehousing with hand trucks and small pallet jacks can work with a 5- to 6-inch slab. Facilities with heavy forklifts or stored racking with concentrated loads typically need 6 to 8 inches. Manufacturing environments with the heaviest equipment may require 8 to 12 inches or more. We calculate slab thickness based on your actual load requirements, not a one-size number.
Yes, most industrial and commercial concrete pours in Cherry Hill and the surrounding municipalities require permits. The specific requirements depend on the project scope, the size of the slab, and the occupancy type. Papaneri and Sons handles the permit process for every project we take on, including submittal, documentation, and inspection scheduling. You do not have to manage that piece yourself.
Concrete gains strength over time, and industrial slabs need adequate curing before heavy loads go on. As a general rule, foot traffic is safe within 24 to 48 hours. Light vehicle traffic can typically begin at 7 days. Heavy forklift and equipment loads should wait until the slab has reached close to its design strength, which for a 4500 PSI mix is generally around 28 days. We walk every client through the timeline before the pour so you can plan operations accordingly. To schedule your project or ask specific questions, call us at (856) 354-9338.
