Poured concrete walls are the ideal material and construction method to solve this problem.  Varying in size, these poured concrete-walled rooms can be relatively affordable giving what they safeguard. Although most of Colorado and Wyoming have a very low incidence of damaging tornadoes, they do occur and with violent force. Depending on where you live, damage can range from minor to catastrophic. With a safety shelter in place you can know that your family and valuables are protected.

We use only the highest-rated aluminum panels to set our poured concrete walls. Vertically poured concrete must be squared to industry standards, properly tied and braced to avoid blowouts, oiled and the concrete vibrated to ensure the highest quality walls. Our team of experts ensures these standards every time. 

There are many advantages to having concrete poured walls instead of block foundations. Concrete poured walls are stronger and safer.

Concrete placement is its own industry within the construction world because of how important it is to utilize the window of time one has to work concrete. Pumping is the best way to minimize labor while maximizing output. 

Concrete pumping offers a fast and economical method of concrete placement. This method can pump concrete to many places other methods can't.

Steel buildings also offer greater resistance     to infestation, rot, or mold.</p> <h2>Steel Building Construction is Fire and Weather Resistant</h2> <p>With fire and harsh weather being realities of life in Colorado, metal structures offer superior resistance to extreme     winds and fire. If an existing fire is spreading, metal buildings will be more resistant and can also offer better     containment of a fire that starts inside and will be less likely to spread to other structures. The strength and     durability of steel can also hold up to heavy snowfall and also offer greater resistance to collapse. These     advantages can also contribute to a lower cost of maintenance, heating, and cooling. Greater protection of     livestock, crops, furniture, and equipment can in some cases result in lower insurance costs for steel buildings. </p> <h2>Metal Buildings and Steel Structures Are Customizable</h2> <h3>If a pre-fabricated metal building won't meet your needs, contact Tri-State</h3> <p>We can build a steel structure to your specifications including the layout and dimensions as well as the color and     design.

For             difficult to reach places where most construction vehicles and machinery can't get to, <strong>concrete                 pumping</strong> utilizing a boom, known as <strong>Concrete Boom Pumping</strong> makes it easier to             pour and place concrete in locations that can be difficult to reach.</p><p>This can include mountainsides, sites             blocked by other existing structures, or structures being built across a water channel. Concrete Boom             Pumping is a method of concrete pumping that uses a <strong>pump</strong> which runs through a pipe or             delivery line guided by a robotically controlled boom, or long pivotable arm. </p>         <p class="flow-text">The boom is usually mounted on a truck which can get to places where standard concrete pumping equipment             cannot reach for concrete placement.

Boom pumping also enables you to get             to areas that aren't reachable by crane for concrete pumping and placement.</p>         <p class="flow-text">Boom pumping also allows flexibility so smaller amounts of concrete can be poured in multiple locations. Boom                  <p class="flow-text">Boom pumping saves time, space, and labor.</p>         <h4 class="flow-text"> Concrete pumping and pouring using a boom allows for less equipment, as well as fewer trucks, construction             vehicles, and laborers accessing your construction site.</h4>         <p class="flow-text">This saves you time on site preparation and materials, and also means less wear on the terrain, less space             taken up, and a safer worksite. Because of their reach, boom trucks often remain in the same place for an             entire pour. This allows ready mix trucks to discharge their loads directly into the pump’s hopper at one             central location saving time and the need for additional transport.</p>         <h4 class="flow-text">The 32-meter boom truck offers a great balance between reach and set-up space for the concrete pump. This             allows for greater flexibility for concrete pouring and placing.</h4>         <p class="flow-text">Ideal for residential and commercial job sites where concrete placement is needed but space can be limited.

Tri-State has extensive expert level experience pumping / pouring concrete foundations, basements, retaining walls, cellars, etc for new home constructions. We pour in town as well as in hard to reach surrounding mountain areas. 

Because of their reach, boom trucks often remain in the same place for an entire pour, allowing ready mix trucks to discharge their loads directly into the pump’s hopper at one central location.

The 32-meter boom pump truck is a great balance between reach and set-up space. Ideal for residential and commercial job sites where space can be limited. It is considered to be the best all-around boom pump type for fast, unfolding, easy cleanout and precision placement. 

How do I get my concrete where a truck can’t reach?

By offering lateral support to vertical slopes, a retaining wall can hold back soil for a multitude of reasons, including leveling terraces to add landscaping, eliminating hard-to-mow slopes and provide solutions to drainage and erosion problems.

Our retaining walls are always reinforced with rebar and are almost always cantilevered. This saves concrete and reduces cost.

Finishing a basement is absolutely the best way to generate a more livable space. Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska all have high wind areas. Basements are excellent for anchoring a property to the ground by extending the foundation below the area’s frost line. This helps maintain the integrity of the foundation over time.

Adding a concrete basement from a crawl space is one of the best ways to build equity into your present home.

We understand how essential it is to have a straight and level foundation to set your steel structure on. How     critical it is to build and set templates correctly so that your support beams are easily set in place.

Bring us any metal or steel building and we can deliver you a completed     turn-key experience. From excavation to a Certificate of Occupancy.</p> <h2 class="flow-text">Why choose Tri-State for metal building projects?</h2> <p class="flow-text">Because we team up with one of the best in the industry to provide dependable products with     long-standing reputations for excellence.

We even have a team to erect the building!</p> <p class="flow-text">Metal buildings, using quality steel, are increasingly popular because they are versatile, durable,     and budget friendly.</p> <p class="flow-text">Steel buildings can be built more quickly than other methods of construction, reducing labor costs,     which allows for faster occupancy.</p> <h3 class="flow-text">Steel buildings are the preferred choice in the construction industry for residential, commercial,     and industrial projects alike.</h3> <p class="flow-text"><a href="/services/excavation/site_prep">For a metal foundation that requires any site prep</a>     Tri-State is prepared to handle small and large excavations.</p> <h2 class="flow-text">Advantages of Metal Buildings</h2> <p class="flow-text">Metal buildings made with quality steel are less likely to crack, shift, rot, mold, or settle that     wood or brick structures. Steel buildings also offer better resistance to pests and infestation. Metal buildings     made of quality steel are also easier to clean, require less maintenance and unlike brick less prone to wear and     tear.</p> <h3 class="flow-text">Weather Resistant and Energy Efficient</h3> <p class="flow-text">Metal buildings are also more resistant to the harsh weather conditions and elements of Colorado or     the Wyoming winds. <p class="flow-text">Metal bulding projects can accommodate insulation and be custom fit for your constrution project to     increase energy efficiency and reduce the cost of heating and cooling.</p> <h3 class="flow-text">Unlike wood structures, metal buildings are less prone to rot, mold, and pests, and unlike brick     less prone to wear. </h3> <h3 class="flow-text">Fire Resistant</h3> <p>Living in Colorado means living with fires, especially rural mountain towns. Since steel buildings are fire resistant     they are less likely to catch on fire from surrounding structures. Also, if a fire breaks out within a metal     building, it will be more likely to be contained and less likely to spread to any other buildings in the area.</p> <h3 class="flow-text">Metal Structures Are Adaptable and Customizable</h3> <p class="flow-text">Metal building projects offer a considerable amount of flexibility in how you want to tailor your     structure. From the dimensions of your building, floor plan, roof style, insulation factor, types of windows and     doors, including their location and placement, it can all be made to your custom design.</p> <p class="flow-text">Metal buildings offer superior resistance to harsh weather, mold and rot, as well as infestation of     termites and other pests, resulting in lower maintenance costs. In some cases, metal building construction can cost     less to insure than buildings made of other materials.</p> <p class="flow-text">With metal buildings you can more easily add space and create additions than with other building     materials. Metal buildings can also be used as additions to existing structures even if they are not made of metal. </p> <h2 class="flow-text">Environmental Benefits of Steel Construction</h2> <p class="flow-text"><strong>Fewer toxins, pollutants, and waste</strong></p> <p class="flow-text">Metals such as steel don't release pollutants or contaminants into the ground or the air. In the     case of prefabricated metal buildings and components, less onsite building materials results in less waste. The     metals used in our steel buildings are recyclable in the event the structure needs to be removed which reduces     landfill space. In fact, sometimes the steel used to construct our metal buildings are made from recycled materials. </p> <h3 class="flow-text">Do you offer multiple types of metal structures?</h3> <p class="flow-text">We can construct steel structures to meet any need. Below are just some of the options:</p> <ul>     <li>Commercial</li>     <li>Residential</li>     <li>Industrial</li>     <li>Places of Worship</li>     <li>Garages</li>     <li>Shops</li>     <li>Living Quarters</li>     <li>Offices</li>     <li>Hangers</li>     <li>Farm & Ranch</li>     <li>Equestrian</li> </ul> <p class="flow-text"><strong>What are some cool unique uses for metal buildings? Budget-Wise, Budget-Sensitive,         Long-Withstanding</strong> </p> <h2 class="flow-text">Homes and Residential Metal Buildings</h2> <p class="flow-text">If you are considering building a residential home, a metal structure offers nearly unlimited     options to design a custom floor plan. You can also build a residential metal home over and existing basement or     foundation. Tri-State can also <a href="/services/structural-concrete-services/basements_foundations">lay the         foundation,</a> and build your metal structure on top of it.</p> <p class="flow-text"><strong>Garages and Carports</strong></p> <p class="flow-text">Metal garages and carports can be customized according to the size of your car, truck, or storage     requirements. Since metal roofing is less susceptible to harsh weather conditions, including snow, your garage or     carport roof is less likely to collapse from Colorado’s high snow loads. Tri-State can also <a         href="/services/concrete-flatwork/driveways">construct the driveways</a> and lay the <a         href="/services/concrete-flatwork/garage_shop_floors">flooring for your <strong>metal structures</strong> or         garages.</a></p> <h2 class="flow-text">Commercial Uses for Metal Buildings</h2> <p class="flow-text"><strong>Metal Barns</strong></p> <p class="flow-text">The fire-resistent qualities of metal buildings makes these structures espcially attractive for     barns and storage silos. This can offer greater protection to your livestock, equipment, and crops than barns     constructed of wood. Metal barns can also offer greater resistance to pest infestation and extreme weather all year     round.</p> <p class="flow-text"><strong>Studios and Recreational Buildings</strong></p> <p class="flow-text">With metal building projects, everything from color, design, layout, and window placement can be     taken into account so you can build a space that keeps both functionality and aesthetics in mind. When it comes to     building space for woodworking, cars, music and art studios, indoor sports, yoga, or dancing instruction...</p> <h3 class="flow-text">The options are endless with metal and steel building projects.</h3> <p class="flow-text"><strong>Production Greenhouses</strong></p> <p class="flow-text">Given the flexibility to accommodate window placement for natural lighting as well as to design     numerous options for indoor lighting, steel structures are an excellent option for planning and maintaining a     commercial greenhouse. Commercial and residential metal buildings can be well controlled for pests, mold, and     temperature so your crops can be well protected from damage and spoilage.</p> <h3 class="flow-text">Do you have a simple way of estimating price?</h3> <p class="flow-text">We are working on a method to try and provide estimates online by the end of 2022.</p> <p class="flow-text">Tri-State recognizes that every project, every property, and the needs of each customer are unique. </p> <p class="flow-text">We are happy to give you an estimate if you contact us.

After applying a series of mechanical grinding and polishing pads,             concrete becomes more visually appealing and durable than traditional concrete. We can grind and polish your existing concrete floor or we can pour and install new floors and polish them when needed. Dense enough to withstand water, oil and high levels of foot traffic, concrete polishing is resilient, easy to clean, and affordable. It requires little maintenance and outlasts other flooring options.</p>         <h3 class="flow-text">Here are some of the advantages of concrete polishing:</h3>         <p class="flow-text"><strong>Durable:</strong> Concrete polished floors do not damage, chip, or scratch easily.

A newly installed concrete             floor, your concrete polished floor will outlast pretty much all other flooring materials like carpets that             could require steam cleaning, hardwood floors requiring waxing, or the replacement of chipped wood or tile             flooring. Either way, you can count on your floors and your savings to be long-lasting.</p>         <p class="flow-text"><strong>Customizable:</strong> concrete polishing offers endless varieties of colors and             patterns and allows for your own unique, customizable design.
