Oil & Gas Yards
Specialized yards and facilities for oil and gas equipment storage, drilling operations, and energy infrastructure Provided by professional concrete contractors throughout Texas.
Oil and gas yards represent some of the most challenging concrete construction environments, requiring surfaces capable of supporting heavy drilling equipment, pipe storage, and industrial operations in harsh conditions. Inner Loop Construction specializes in oil and gas facility construction throughout Texas, delivering concrete solutions that withstand heavy loads, chemical exposure, and extreme weather conditions characteristic of energy industry operations.
Texas oil and gas yards demand specialized concrete construction for pipe yards, equipment storage, drilling rig operations, and facility support. We design heavy-duty surfaces that accommodate crawler cranes, drilling rigs, and industrial vehicles while providing stable platforms for equipment maintenance and storage. Our construction expertise ensures oil and gas facilities operate safely and efficiently in demanding environments.
Oil and gas facility construction involves coordination with energy industry standards, environmental regulations, and safety requirements. We work with oil and gas engineers to understand operational requirements and design concrete systems that support exploration, production, and transportation activities. Our Texas-based projects incorporate regional expertise in soil conditions, weather patterns, and regulatory requirements specific to energy operations.
From drilling sites to refinery support facilities, we deliver concrete construction that supports critical energy infrastructure. Our projects include stabilized yards for heavy equipment, pipe storage areas, chemical containment systems, and facilities designed for rapid deployment and demobilization. We understand that oil and gas operations require reliable infrastructure that performs under extreme conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What concrete strength is required for oil and gas equipment?
Oil and gas equipment requires concrete with compressive strengths of 4,000-8,000 PSI, designed to support loads up to 1,000+ lbs per square foot. Drilling rigs, cranes, and heavy transport vehicles need reinforced concrete platforms that prevent settlement and maintain level surfaces for safe operations.
How do you handle chemical exposure in oil and gas facilities?
Oil and gas facilities require chemical-resistant concrete and protective coatings that withstand oil, drilling fluids, and petroleum products. We use specialized concrete mixes and surface treatments designed for hydrocarbon resistance and easy cleanup of industrial spills throughout Texas facilities.
What surface requirements exist for drilling rig operations?
Drilling rig operations require level surfaces within 1/4 inch over 10 feet for rig stability and safety. Concrete must support dynamic loads during drilling operations and provide stable platforms for rig assembly, operation, and maintenance in Texas oil and gas fields.
How do you design for heavy equipment traffic in oil and gas yards?
Oil and gas yards require concrete designed for crawler crane traffic, heavy transport vehicles, and equipment with ground pressures exceeding 100 psi. We use thick concrete sections (8-12 inches) with heavy reinforcement and specialized joint systems to prevent cracking under heavy, concentrated loads.
What environmental considerations affect oil and gas concrete work?
Oil and gas facilities require secondary containment systems, stormwater management, and spill prevention measures. Concrete construction must comply with EPA regulations, state environmental requirements, and industry standards for preventing soil and water contamination in Texas operations.
Common Situations
- •Oil companies need drilling sites with stabilized surfaces for rig operations and equipment support
- •Pipeline companies require pipe yards for storage and fabrication with heavy equipment access
- •Gas processing facilities need concrete infrastructure for compressor stations and equipment pads
- •Oilfield service companies require yards for equipment storage and maintenance operations
Example Engagement
Service Type
Oil & Gas Yard Construction
Scope
An oil and gas operator needs a 50-acre yard facility with drilling rig pads, pipe storage areas, and equipment maintenance facilities requiring specialized concrete construction for heavy industrial operations.
Client Situation
The energy company is developing a new field operation in Texas and needs infrastructure that can support drilling operations, equipment storage, and maintenance activities in challenging terrain and weather conditions.
Our Approach
We would assess equipment requirements, design heavy-duty concrete systems, and implement chemical-resistant surfaces for oil and gas operations. Our approach includes environmental compliance coordination, safety system integration, and phased construction to support operational timelines.
Expected Outcome
The completed oil and gas yard would provide 50 acres of operational infrastructure supporting drilling operations, equipment storage, and maintenance with concrete systems designed for heavy industrial use and environmental compliance.
