The apron in front of a dock takes more abuse than any other slab on the site: trailer landing gear, repeated backing, and heavy point loads all day.
We pour dock aprons and ramps as thickened, heavily reinforced slabs on a well-compacted base, with the grade and slope set so trailers seat cleanly and water drains away from the building. Approach ramps are formed to a safe, code-appropriate slope with a broom or grooved finish for traction, and edges are detailed to resist the chipping that comes from constant trailer contact. Where a dock leveler or embed is involved we coordinate the blockouts and set the steel so everything lines up on pour day.
- Thickened, heavily reinforced aprons for trailer and point loads
- Ramp slopes formed for safe, code-appropriate grades
- Broom or grooved finish for traction on inclines
- Blockouts and embeds coordinated for dock levelers
What does a loading dock or ramp cost in Las Vegas?
Dock and ramp pricing depends on thickness, reinforcement, height of grade change, and demolition of the existing slab. Because the loads are high, these are engineered pours priced per plan.
Dock aprons
Thickened, reinforced aprons are priced by area and thickness; expect commercial-slab rates at the upper end given the reinforcement and PSI required.
Approach ramps
Ramps are priced by the grade change, length, and any retaining or wing walls needed to hold the slope.
Repair & replacement
Spalled apron edges, cracked ramps, and settled pads are quoted after we see the condition and the base underneath.

Dock and ramp work we handle
Dock Aprons
Thickened reinforced slabs in front of dock doors, built for trailer landing gear and backing loads.
Truck & Access Ramps
Formed concrete ramps to grade with safe slopes and a traction finish.
Heavy-Load Pads
Reinforced pads for containers, equipment, and staging that take concentrated weight.
Dock Leveler Pits
Formed pits and blockouts coordinated with the leveler and embeds your supplier specifies.
Apron Repair
Rebuilt edges and re-poured sections where trailer impact has chipped or cracked the slab.
Retaining & Wing Walls
Poured walls that hold the grade alongside ramps and depressed dock areas.
Docks built for the abuse they actually take
A dock area that is under-built fails fast: cracked aprons, spalled edges, and ramps that heave. We build for the real loads, with the thickness, reinforcement, and edge detailing that trailer traffic demands, and we set the grades so water drains away from the building instead of pooling at the doors. Coordinated blockouts mean the leveler and embeds fit the first time.
- Engineered thickness and reinforcement for trailer loads
- Grades set to drain water away from dock doors
- Traction finishes on all ramp and incline surfaces
- Embeds and leveler pits coordinated before the pour
Our commercial concrete process
1. Loads & layout
We confirm trailer traffic, grade change, and any leveler or embed details before pricing the pour.
2. Permits & demo
We pull permits and remove failed aprons, ramps, or pads down to a sound, workable base.
3. Base & grade
We compact the sub-base and set slope so trailers seat cleanly and water sheds away from the building.
4. Forms, steel & embeds
Heavy reinforcement, dowels, and any leveler pits or embeds are formed and set, then checked before the pour.
5. Pour & finish
Placement, screed, and a broom or grooved finish that holds traction on ramps and aprons.
6. Cure & open
Joints cut, slab cured, and edges detailed so the dock takes trailer traffic once it has gained strength.

Real reviews from real Las Vegas Valley customers.
We had Centurion Concrete pour a new driveway at our Las Vegas home and they did excellent work. The crew was on time every day and the finished product looks fantastic. It has been six months now and still holding up perfectly in the heat. Definitely recommend them for any concrete work.
A great experience from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and delivered high-quality work with great attention to detail. Everything was completed on time and exactly as discussed.
The best company there is in all of Las Vegas. Highly recommend.
I was so impressed with the customer service at Centurion Concrete. Nicole answered all my questions quickly and in great detail.
Very professional with many years of experience and a lot of different services. Exactly what you want in a concrete contractor.
You guys are awesome, highly recommend. Thank you for a great job.
Loading Docks and Concrete Ramps FAQ
How thick should a loading dock apron be?
Dock aprons take heavy, concentrated loads from trailer landing gear and backing, so they are built thicker and more heavily reinforced than standard flatwork, commonly 8 inches or more with a dense rebar mat and a higher-PSI mix. The structural engineer sets the exact thickness from the loads.
What slope should a concrete truck ramp have?
Ramp slope is driven by the grade change and safety and code requirements, and it is finished with a broom or grooved texture for traction. We form ramps to a safe, appropriate grade for the trucks that will use them and detail the edges and any wing walls to hold the slope.
Can you repair a spalled or cracked dock apron?
Yes. We remove the damaged section, correct the base if it has settled, dowel into the surrounding slab, and re-pour with a higher-strength mix and detailed edges so the repair holds up to the trailer traffic that caused the original damage.
Do you coordinate dock levelers and embeds?
Yes. When a dock leveler, edge angle, or other embed is involved, we form the pit and set the blockouts and steel to match your supplier's drawings so everything lines up and fits correctly on pour day.
Why is water pooling at our dock doors?
Usually the apron grade is wrong or the slab has settled toward the building. We can re-pour the apron to the correct slope, add trench drains or valley gutters where needed, and tie the fix into the surrounding slab so water drains away from the doors.
Do dock and ramp projects need permits?
Structural pours like dock aprons, ramps, and retaining walls generally require permits and inspections through the local building department. We pull the permits and schedule the reinforcement and pre-pour inspections as part of the work.
How long before trucks can use a new dock apron?
Concrete gains most of its strength in the first week and full strength at 28 days. We typically hold heavy trailer traffic off a new apron for a week or more depending on the mix, and we give you the exact date it is ready for use.
Can you build heavy-load and container pads?
Yes. We pour reinforced pads for containers, equipment, and staging areas that take concentrated weight, sized and reinforced for the loads so they do not crack or settle under repeated use.
