What We Build

Structural Concrete & Shotcrete Services

From the first footing to the final finish coat, KIA crews handle the structural concrete and shotcrete scope general contractors can’t afford to get wrong — on jobs statewide.

Structural Concrete

Cast-in-place structural concrete for foundations, columns, shear walls, and elevated decks engineered to carry heavy structural and seismic loads.

  • Structural walls & columns
  • Elevated slabs & decks
  • Subterranean parking structures
  • Mix design per engineer specs
  • Third-party testing coordination

Shotcrete & Gunite (Wet & Dry Mix)

Certified wet-mix and dry-mix shotcrete crews for retaining walls, pool shells, and slope stabilization where conventional formwork isn’t practical.

  • Wet-mix & dry-mix application
  • Gunite application
  • Nozzlemen certified to ACI 506
  • Rebound control & finish work
  • Slope & vertical surface application
  • Reservoir, canal & marine linings

Foundations & Footings

Spread footings, mat slabs, and deep foundation systems built to engineered tolerances for commercial, industrial, and infrastructure loads.

  • Spread & continuous footings
  • Mat & raft foundations
  • Grade beams
  • Vapor barrier & rebar placement

Retaining Walls & Shoring

Earth retention systems — from soil nail walls to temporary shoring — engineered to protect adjacent structures and keep excavations safe.

  • Shotcrete-faced retaining walls
  • Temporary excavation shoring
  • Lagging & soldier pile systems
  • Hillside concrete construction

Concrete Repair & Restoration

Structural repair, crack injection, and spalling restoration that extend the service life of aging concrete assets without a full rebuild.

  • Spalling & delamination repair
  • Structural crack injection
  • Rebar corrosion remediation
  • Protective coatings & sealants

Seismic Retrofitting

Shear wall additions, shotcrete jacketing, and foundation strengthening engineered to bring structures up to current seismic code.

  • Shotcrete shear wall jacketing
  • Soft-story retrofits
  • Foundation & footing strengthening
  • Code-compliance coordination

Slabs

Precision-finished slabs-on-grade placed to flatness and levelness tolerances, from subgrade prep through the final finish.

  • Slab-on-grade placement & finishing
  • Subgrade & vapor barrier prep
  • Rebar & welded wire reinforcement
  • Control joints & sawcutting

Caissons & Deep Foundations

Drilled caissons and deep pier systems for sites where spread footings won’t carry the load — hillside builds, poor soils, and high-rise column loads.

  • Drilled caissons & piers
  • Friction & end-bearing shafts
  • Casing & slurry placement
  • Geotech & inspection coordination

Pools

Shotcrete pool and spa shells for residential, resort, and commercial aquatic projects — shot by the same ACI 506 nozzlemen who run our structural work.

  • Shotcrete pool & spa shells
  • Steel placement per engineer specs
  • Raised bond beams & vanishing edges
  • Pool decks & surrounding hardscape

Why Contractors Choose KIA

Built On Technical Discipline, Not Shortcuts

Engineering-Led, Not Guesswork

Every pour starts with the mix design, structural drawings, and engineer specs — not a rough estimate. Our field supervisors and shotcrete nozzlemen hold ACI certifications, so what gets placed matches what got engineered.

Schedules You Can Build Around

Concrete delays cascade into every trade behind you. We plan pours, shotcrete crews, and material logistics around your critical path — 98% of KIA projects hit their committed placement dates.

OSHA-Compliant On Every Site

Fall protection, confined space, and silica dust controls aren’t optional on our crews. Every jobsite runs under a documented safety plan, daily toolbox talks, and full PPE compliance — protecting your schedule as much as our people.

Built To Pass Inspection The First Time

Every placement is backed by third-party testing coordination, documented QC checkpoints, and a workmanship warranty — so you’re not chasing rework after the crew leaves.

How We Work

Our Process

A consistent, documented sequence on every statewide job — from first call to closeout.

01

Consultation

We review your drawings, timeline, and site conditions to scope the work and flag constructability issues early.

02

Engineering & Estimate

Our estimators build a detailed, itemized proposal aligned to the structural specs — mix design, volumes, and schedule included.

03

Planning & Permits

We coordinate submittals and mix designs with your GC and the engineer of record before crews mobilize.

04

Concrete / Shotcrete Placement

Certified crews execute the pour or shotcrete application to spec, with daily progress reporting back to your team.

05

Quality Control

In-house QC checkpoints and testing coordination confirm strength, cover, and finish before we call it done.

06

Delivery & Warranty

Final walkthrough, closeout documentation, and a workmanship warranty back every completed placement.

What General Contractors & Developers Say

California Service Area

Every Project We Build Happens In California

KIA Contractors Inc. is a California contractor, licensed CA #991941 and headquartered in Fresno. We self-perform structural concrete and shotcrete exclusively within the state — from the Bay Area and the Central Valley down through Los Angeles, the Inland Empire and San Diego. Staying inside California is deliberate: same-day mobilization, crews who know Title 24 and CBC seismic detailing, and inspectors who already know our work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Contractors & Owners Ask Us

Timelines depend on scope, but most foundation and retaining wall packages run 2–8 weeks once mobilized. We provide a detailed schedule with every proposal, tied to your critical path.
Wet-mix shotcrete is pre-mixed and pumped to the nozzle, giving more consistent output for large-volume placements. Dry-mix is mixed with water at the nozzle, offering more control for smaller or hard-to-access areas like repair work. We run certified crews for both and recommend the right method based on your application.
Yes. Every completed placement is backed by a workmanship warranty, with terms detailed in your project proposal.
We coordinate permits, mix design submittals, and inspection scheduling directly with your general contractor and the engineer of record, so nothing holds up your schedule.
We work with standard AIA-style progress billing on commercial and industrial contracts, and can discuss draw schedules or financing options for qualifying projects during the proposal stage.
We work exclusively in California. Headquartered in Fresno and licensed CA #991941, we mobilize statewide — the Bay Area, Sacramento, the Central Valley and Central Coast, Greater Los Angeles, the Inland Empire and San Diego County — usually within 24 to 48 hours of award.
From single retaining walls and foundation packages to multi-building commercial and infrastructure programs — our crews and bonding capacity scale with the project.
Yes. Field supervisors carry OSHA 30-Hour certification and our shotcrete nozzlemen are certified under ACI 506 for both wet-mix and dry-mix application.
