50-Foot Radius Concrete Water Tank Foundation in Milpitas When you drive up into the Milpitas hills, you already know you’re in for a view. But this spot right here — you can see all of Silicon Valley at once. And this is where we built a brand-new 209,000-gallon water tank foundation for the City of Milpitas. This tank is mainly for fire protection, so there’s really no room for mistakes. Everything has to be clean, well-structured, and intentional.

Building the AG Shed Foundation Out in Milpitas This project was located in Milpitas, on the hills where the views extend across the entire South Bay. This is the AG shed slab, and although it looks clean in the final photos, this one had its fair share of issues. There were about four or five change orders on this part of the job alone. The client initially had another crew come in to frame it, but once we got up here, many things didn’t line up—the footings, the perimeter layout, and even the sheer footings were off. Nothing matched the […]

AG Shed Concrete Foundation Built In Milpitas This project took place in Milpitas and serves as the foundation for a future steel carport. Nothing fancy on the surface, but the details underneath matter — especially when the steel company is coming out to verify all the anchor points and shear footings. We handled this slab from start to finish. No surprises, no guesswork — just a clean layout, precise digging, the right amount of rebar, and a crew that knows how to work together.

A Clean Step Upgrade in Belmont, CA This project took place in Belmont, right in San Mateo County, tucked into one of those quiet hillside neighborhoods where everything slopes just enough to make life interesting. The client had an old set of concrete stairs that were worn, uneven, and honestly just unsafe — especially at night. This was actually Phase 1 of a bigger backyard makeover we did for them. The backyard retaining wall came later, but the steps were the first thing we tackled because the homeowner used them every day. We removed the old stairs, rebuilt all 22 […]

Fire Truck Turnaround Concrete Driveway in Milpitas Building a driveway this size in the Milpitas hills isn’t your typical residential concrete job. This one had to meet fire-department turnaround standards — meaning it needed the right width, the right thickness, proper rebar layout, correct drainage slope, and enough compaction to support a loaded fire engine. The views up here are crazy, but the terrain makes you earn it — nothing is level, everything is sloped, and every inch matters.
