Sitework in Riverside

Riverside sits in Platte County along the I-635 corridor, and the sitework we do here reflects how this market actually builds. The Horizons Business Park is a steady source of commercial pad-site work, with retail tenants, QSR builds, and light industrial users all needing the same thing: a flat, compacted, well-drained pad that's ready for concrete on the day the schedule says it will be. Further out, the Riverside 69 Industrial pulls general contractors who need one sitework number that covers clear, strip, excavate, stabilize, and sub-grade without hand-offs between four different subs. On the residential side, Riverside Proper and the surrounding neighborhoods still generate lot-prep and walk-out basement work for custom builders. Ford Concrete has been grading, excavating, and pouring across the KC metro for 11 years — Riverside being a high-intensity industrial and entertainment powerhouse along the missouri river, known for its pro-business climate and massive logistics parks is exactly the kind of market we built the company around. We answer the phone, we walk the site, and we bid it honestly.

Sitework Challenges in Riverside

Platte County along the Missouri River is dominated by deep alluvial silts and sandy loams — great for drainage but soft under load, with a high water table that shows up fast in any excavation below about six feet. We manage groundwater with sump and pipe dewatering, over-excavate soft zones, and stabilize sub-grades with aggregate or lime where the engineer calls for it. Drainage is the other Riverside issue people underestimate: flat commercial pads along I-635 near Horizons Business Park need real positive slope away from the building, not the visual minimum, or you'll be re-working it after the first major rain. Access off MO-9 adds another wrinkle on tighter Riverside sites near Horizons Business Park, so haul-route planning and stabilized construction entrances have to happen before the first piece of equipment rolls in. Permitting in Platte County for a Riverside project means a pre-con meeting, erosion control inspection, and a SWPPP for any disturbance over an acre — all documented, all on us. See the permits and regulations page for the full list.
