Industrial and Commercial General Contractors
Seguin, TX

For a general contractor, that manufacturing base generates a specific and demanding type of work. Industrial floor systems for precision manufacturing require flatness tolerances that most commercial pours never approach — F-number ratings published by the equipment manufacturer's installation specifications, achieved through laser-screeded placement and walk-behind power float finishing, and documented by floor profiler measurement after the slab has cured. Forklift wheel loads, racking leg point loads, and in some facilities the track loads of automated conveyor equipment all drive reinforcement design that is fundamentally different from a standard commercial slab. Inner Loop Construction has poured manufacturing floors to these specifications and has the quality documentation process to match.

The $25 million Seguin Crossing development and the 544-acre Seguin Town Center mixed-use project represent the commercial buildout that follows a strong manufacturing economy. Retail anchors like Academy Sports and Hobby Lobby need large-format parking lots designed for high daily traffic counts, proper drainage for Guadalupe County's clay soils, and the joint layout and thickness that prevents premature cracking under heavy SUV and pickup truck wheel loads. That retail parking work is as critical to project success as the building foundation itself — a parking lot that cracks and deteriorates in three years reflects poorly on everyone involved in the project.

Ranch Hand's 400,000-square-foot manufacturing facility expansion and the Texas State Technical College campus development on 133 acres represent two distinct concrete scopes. Manufacturing expansion requires industrial floor systems with embedded conduit, anchor bolt setting, and the drain-trench coordination that a production facility demands. Educational campus work requires a different emphasis: accessible routes, pedestrian-scaled hardscape, athletic facility flatwork, and building foundations that meet the specific structural standards of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

Guadalupe County's clay soils — particularly the expansive black clay of the San Marcos River bottomlands and the transitional soils between the I-10 corridor and the Balcones Escarpment — require sub-base treatment before any commercial slab is placed. We lime-stabilize native clay, compact to engineered density, and test for plasticity index before finalizing our sub-base design. That upfront process is what differentiates a slab that performs for twenty years from one that develops differential settlement and cracking before the building's first full year of operations.

Inner Loop Construction pursues industrial, commercial, and educational construction work throughout Seguin and Guadalupe County: manufacturing floor systems, tilt-wall and precast building shells, large-format retail site packages, commercial foundations, multifamily and mixed-use site concrete, and the industrial parking and truck court construction that a manufacturing hub of Seguin's scale requires on a regular basis.
