Stony ground under a commercial slab
In the county soil survey's mapping, about 22 percent of McLennan County is loamy and clayey soil over limestone, and one of the soil series in that group is named Crawford. The survey calls the limestone bedrock "a good foundation for houses and roads, but it commonly is difficult to excavate." Firm support and hard digging can turn up on the same site.
Its engineering advice for buildings is plain: "Foundations should be engineered according to soil properties, including the depth to bedrock, the depth to a water table, and natural drainage conditions." So a soil report and the drawings come before any price on a building pad.

Permits, cracks and strength tests on Crawford commercial concrete
Who handles commercial permits and inspections in Crawford?
Bureau Veritas, under the City's contract for construction permits and inspections. The City's building department issues building and certificate-of-occupancy permits, reviews plans and checks each project against city ordinances, and commercial applications go to the City Secretary by email.
Will a new commercial floor crack at all?
Probably a little. The American Concrete Institute's slab-on-ground guide puts it this way: "Every owner should be advised by the designer and contractor that it is normal to expect some cracking and curling on every project."
How is a commercial mix shown to meet its strength?
Test results decide. NRMCA accepts the concrete when three straight tests average the specified strength or better and no single result is over 500 psi short.
