Precast concrete pads are a fast, repeatable way to get safe access platforms in service without tying up your crew or waiting on poured-in-place foundations. SafeRack’s construction team pairs ErectaStep modular platforms with each precast concrete pad to cut install time from weeks to days and keep shutdowns to a minimum.
2‑Day Install with Precast Concrete Pads
At a pipeline facility in the middle of God’s County, SafeRack Construction Services installed six ErectaStep access platforms on a precast concrete pad foundation in just two days. Using pre-engineered pads eliminated the need for dig approvals, on-site forming, curing time, and weather delays.
Each precast concrete pad arrived ready to set, with lifting points and dimensions matched to the ErectaStep layout. Once the pads were leveled, our crew bolted the modular stairs and platforms directly to the concrete, using standard anchors and basic tools.
Why Choose a Precast Concrete Pad
SafeRack’s precast concrete pads provide many improvements to your work site compared to traditional concrete pours. A few key benefits include:
- Controlled cast. Precast concrete pads are cast in a controlled environment that is unaffected by weather conditions.
- Quick turnaround. Using our concrete pads allowed for a quick turnaround for installation, taking two days to accomplish what may take others weeks.
- Minimal disturbance. SafeRack’s speedy approach reduces the disturbance to your work site. Requiring less excavation compared to traditional poured-in-place platforms. We can build what you need and leave with little disruption to your facility.
- Durable. Consistent 5,000 PSI strength and integrated reinforcement for long service life.
When you combine a precast concrete pad with modular stairs, you get a foundation and structure that can be installed with a small crew, a skid steer or forklift, and standard tools. In remote sites, this can be essential, as concrete contractors can be difficult to schedule and coordinate with.
