Dock Leveller Pit Construction

Dock Leveller Pit Construction at PRNS

At PRNS, we specialise in Dock Leveller pit construction, providing efficient and effective repairs for sites across the country.

Dock leveller pit construction refers to the process of building or repairing the pit surrounding a dock leveller, which is a hydraulic platform used to bridge the gap between a loading dock and a truck bed or warehouse floor.

The construction of the pit involves various steps, including excavation, installation of support structures, pouring concrete, and finishing. The goal is to create a secure and stable foundation for the dock leveller, ensuring smooth and safe loading and unloading operations at a commercial or industrial facility.

Proper construction of the dock leveller pit is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the loading dock area and preventing accidents or damage during use.

Our Dock Leveller Pit Construction Process

Once our team arrives on-site, we set up a secure working area. Health and safety are paramount in the smooth running of any project, a safe working environment being crucial for our team and anyone on-site at the time of the works.

Using a petrol floor saw, the team then cut back the damaged concrete breaking away any damaged areas. To help reduce dust we damp these areas. This being for several reasons including, a mess on-site and has many health and safety implications.

We then install timber shuttering to support and help form the new concrete walls. To continue to reinforce kerb angles are then installed. Once shuttering is formed and kerb angles in place, we are ready for the concrete pour.

This supports the concrete having a smooth finish once the shutters are removed.

Finally, the timber shutters are removed, leaving the final product.

As always, our teams will then clean the site down and remove everything from the site.
