Concrete & Flatwork done right in Portola

When Portola property owners need concrete work done right, BC Brown General Engineering is the local call. Portola is a high-elevation railroad town in Sierra Valley along the Middle Fork Feather River, where winters are long and cold. We have worked this ground since 1999 and know what it takes.

In Portola the concrete season is real. We pour when temperatures cooperate and detail every slab for snow country, from base drainage to joint layout.

At Portola elevations, concrete has to survive hard winter freeze-thaw. We pour an air-entrained mix on a deep, well-drained base, thicken edges and slabs that carry snow loads, and detail drainage so meltwater runs away from the concrete instead of heaving it.

Portola is east over the mountains into Sierra Valley, so we mobilize crews and equipment there regularly and keep our response times short.
