Structural Work Done Right
Services
Built on Precision and Experience
Our Services
At Gator Concrete and Masonry, we focus on concrete and masonry scopes that support the structure, foundations, walls, and cast-in-place systems. Work that needs to be accurate, coordinated, and done right the first time.
Grading & Excavation
Preparing the Site for Construction
Grading & Excavation
- Proper site preparation is the foundation of every successful concrete and masonry project. Tampa Bay’s coastal and lowland soils demand a systematic approach before any structural work begins.
Site Clearing & Preparation
- We perform lot scrapes and full building pad preparation. Silt fence installation and grand tree barricades are included as required by the site and permit set.
Proof Rolling
- We proof roll building pads per the geotechnical report requirements prior to excavation. Results are documented and confirmed with the engineer before foundation work begins.
Demucking
- Where organics are present, we excavate and remove all unsuitable material to the depths and limits specified in the geotechnical report. On coastal and lowland sites throughout Tampa Bay, demucking is a standard part of our foundation preparation scope.
On-Site Soil Screening
- Where site conditions and the geotechnical report indicate significant organic depth or large pad footprints, we mobilize our Powerscreen scalping screen to process excavated material on-site. Clean fill is separated and recycled back into the building pad. Organic spoil is hauled off at a fraction of the volume of a full removal.
Structural Foundations
Engineered Foundations for Structural Construction
Structural Foundations & Substructure
- We have a dedicated on-staff engineer for all structural shop drawings and technical
documentation. - Every foundation we place is executed to the structural plans, geotechnical report, and project
specifications.
Concrete Foundation Systems
- We build reinforced concrete foundations, spread footings, and grade beams and pile caps to engineered specifications. Reinforcement layout, embedment depths, and concrete placement are executed per the structural drawings and geotechnical report requirements.
Elevated & Pile-Supported Systems
- We build pile-supported grade beams, pier-supported foundations, and elevated structural foundations for coastal, flood zone, and high-value residential construction.
Slab & Wall Systems
- We place structural slabs, elevated composite slabs, and cast-in-place and CMU stem walls — completing the full substructure from foundation to first elevated deck. Reinforcement placement, embedment, and concrete placement are executed per the structural drawing set.
Masonry & Block Walls
Structural Masonry Construction
Concrete masonry units (CMU) remain one of the most reliable building materials for structural wall systems.
Gator Concrete and Masonry constructs reinforced masonry walls designed to meet structural requirements and architectural plans.
Masonry Systems We Build
Our masonry services include:
- Structural CMU walls
- Reinforced block wall systems
- Load-bearing masonry construction
- Architectural block walls
Each system requires proper reinforcement, grout placement, and alignment to meet structural standards.
Built for Structural Performance
Masonry walls must integrate with the structural design of the building.
Our crews follow engineered reinforcement schedules and ensure masonry work aligns with project specifications.
Cast-In-Place Concrete
Structural Concrete Built On Site
Cast-In-Place Concrete
- Gator Concrete & Masonry self-performs all cast-in-place concrete scope — forming, reinforcement placement, and concrete placement executed to the structural drawing set and engineered specifications.
CIP Walls & Retaining Walls
- We form and place cast-in-place structural walls and retaining walls using the Symons forming system. Reinforcement placement, form alignment, and concrete consolidation are executed per the structural
drawings.
Columns, Beams & Tie Beams
- We form and place CIP columns, structural beams, and tie beams as part of the building’s lateral and gravity load system. All reinforcement layout and embedment are executed per the structural drawing set.
Slabs
- We place wet slabs and elevated composite slabs to engineered specifications. Reinforcement schedules, pour sequences, and bearing conditions are coordinated with the structural engineer and general contractor prior to placement.
CIP Stairs
- We form and place cast-in-place stairs to the structural and architectural drawing set. Reinforcement layout, nosing details, and landing conditions are executed per project specifications.
