Equipment pads — for HVAC units, backup generators, utility transformers, or commercial mechanical equipment — need a stable, level, properly sized base that can support the equipment's weight and vibration without settling over time.
Unlike a general landscaping grade, equipment pads support concentrated, sustained loads — a generator or transformer settling unevenly over time can misalign connections or create a real maintenance and safety issue. We compact to a standard appropriate for the specific equipment's weight, not a general-purpose grade.
Backup generator pads, HVAC condenser pads, utility transformer pads, and mechanical equipment pads for commercial and light-industrial sites.
We handle excavation, grading, and compaction. Concrete forming and pouring is a related service we can scope together if you need the full pad, not just the prep.
Based on the specific equipment's weight and manufacturer or code requirements — heavier equipment like generators or transformers need more rigorous base prep than a lighter HVAC unit.
Yes — equipment pads are typically a smaller, more contained scope than a full construction project, and we work to minimize disturbance to the surrounding site.
