Precision Concrete Slipform Paving
Southeast Wisconsin's climate is brutal on concrete infrastructure. We build for the extreme.
Why Standard Curbs Fail
It happens every spring. The snow melts, the rain pours, and temperatures violently swing above and below freezing. If a curb and gutter system lacks the proper sub-base compaction or wasn't poured with the right air-entrained mix, water infiltrates the micro-cracks. When that water freezes, it expands, causing the curb to heave, crack, and ultimately crumble.
The Trinity Advantage
To prevent these failures, Trinity Construction doesn't just "pour concrete." We engineer the pour. Our Miller Formless slipform machines handle every continuous curb and gutter project — extruding concrete into a consistent profile along a digitally guided stringline.
Engineered Benefits
- Flawless Drainage
The automated sensors guarantee that the slope and flow-line are mathematically perfect, eliminating standing water.
- Superior Compaction
The internal vibrators consolidate the concrete much denser than hand-pouring, resulting in a significantly stronger final product.
- Rapid Project Completion
We can pour thousands of linear feet per day, keeping your paving schedule aggressively on track.

Installation Process
When Trinity Construction is on your site, here is exactly what you can expect.
Laser-Precision Subgrade Preparation
We excavate the trench, install the required traffic bond (crushed aggregate), and compact it to strict density requirements. We then run a laser-guided grader to verify the sub-base is perfectly pitched.
A curb is only as strong as what's underneath it.
Automated Slipform Extrusion
Our crew sets the stringline using GPS/Total Station data. The Miller Formless machine follows this line, violently vibrating the low-slump, air-entrained concrete mix and extruding it into the flawless profile required by your engineering plans.
Curing and Joint Control
Within the critical curing window, our finishers apply membrane curing compounds to prevent rapid moisture loss. We then cut control joints at spec intervals to direct the natural expansion and contraction of the concrete.
Quality Assurance and Site Cleanup
Before we demobilize, our owner, Jerry Breske, or a senior foreman walks the entire poured length. We check the flow lines, verify the finish quality, and ensure the site is left cleaner than we found it — ready for your asphalt or landscaping crews.

Technical Standards
We don't guess; we engineer. Here are the baseline standards we bring to every commercial site.
| Specification | Trinity Standard | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Mix Strength | Min. 4,000 – 4,500 PSI | Resists heavy commercial impacts and snowplow damage. |
| Air Entrainment | 5% – 7% | Creates microscopic bubbles to allow water expansion during freezes, preventing spalling. |
| Base Material | Min. 6" Compacted Aggregate | Prevents frost heaving and provides a stable, draining foundation. |
| Joint Spacing | Every 10 linear feet | Controls cracking and accommodates seasonal temperature swings. |
Custom engineering specifications available upon request for heavy industrial or specialized municipal applications.
Expected Costs
& Timelines
Cost and time are the two biggest variables in commercial construction. In the Greater Milwaukee area, pricing is calculated per linear foot. Factors that influence the final price include:
- Total VolumeLarger projects benefit from economies of scale.
- Profile TypeStandard mountable vs. tall barrier curbs.
- Site PrepExcavation and sub-grade correction requirements.
- Radii ComplexityHand-forming vs. automated slipform runs.
Timelines
With our automated equipment, a standard retail parking lot perimeter or subdivision roadway can often be poured in just a few days. However, we always require a minimum 7-day cure window.
Site prep, excavation, laser-graded aggregate compaction.
Automated slipform pour — thousands of linear feet per day.
Curing compound application and control joint cutting.
Minimum cure window before adjacent heavy machinery access.
Full 4,000–4,500 PSI design strength reached.
