In Grand Forks, BC, our team has completed the largest water reservoir tank base in our company's history - an impressive industrial-grade concrete structure spanning 80 feet in diameter. As part of a $3.6 million joint government water system improvement project, we excavated over 500 tonnes of material and poured over 200 cubic metres of concrete to build this massive slab with strict engineering specs. A truly outstanding effort by the entire crew.

In Duncan, British Columbia, Moore & Sons has just completed a 40-foot-wide concrete base for a new water reservoir in Eagle Heights - marking an important milestone as the 60th industrial, commercial, or municipal water reservoir tank base we've built since 2016.

This might just be one of the most interesting - and occasionally head-scratching - projects we've taken on in recent years: forty steps of concrete stairs paired with a property line wall that stretches like a marathon runner along a stunning waterfront home in South Surrey. Our mission? Construct a perfectly smooth, 120-foot concrete wall to define the property line, add multiple retaining walls throughout the yard, and build a full run of concrete stairs spanning the entire slope of the lot. The home's modern architectural style called for clean lines and a sleek finish, so we made sure every inch of concrete looked just as polished as the view.

A few months back, we were proud to build a sleek concrete column for the colorful new signpost at Willoughby Town Centre. And as part of the project, we needed to demolish and remove the old column. This wasn't just any concrete chunk. This beast of a block was 6.5 feet deep, 4 feet by 3 feet wide, and made from concrete with a staggering 50 MPa strength rating. For anyone not fluent in concrete-speak, MPa (megapascals) measures how much pressure concrete can handle before it gives in. The higher the MPa, the stronger - and tougher - it is. Now here's the kicker: 50 MPa is seriously over the top for a signpost. To put it in perspective, when the industrial slab for the All Roads Asphalt Plant in Coquitlam (designed to hold a 150-ton oil tank, mind you!) was poured, it only required 35 MPa. That makes this signpost column one unnecessarily tough cookie.

This is what our client, Accurate Mechanical Systems, had to say about our recent precision industrial concrete foundation construction project in Surrey.

Moore & Sons builds a large commercial concrete slab & foundation - as big as half of the NHL hockey arena. Ever wondered how a huge span concrete slab of this size with smooth surface is built without any of our guys leaving their footprints or joint marks? It was one such project that demonstrated how it is done.
