Older slabs by the river, newer garages on the Oquirrh slopes
West Jordan was founded around 1849 on the west bank of the Jordan River. The mills and houses at Gardner Village, established in 1850, are now a shopping district. Redwood Road, a six-lane state route, runs through this eastern side of the city. 7800 South enters at the river and runs west through the city to SR-111. Homes near the river and Redwood Road sit on some of the oldest slabs in West Jordan. Those slabs have taken more winters of salt, and that often shows as pitting and cracks by the garage door. We start those floors with concrete repair for pitted slabs, and a peeling DIY kit comes off in the grind.
The west side is where West Jordan is still filling in. Copper Hills, Jordan Hills and Welby sit along the lower slopes of the Oquirrh Mountains. Much of the newest building is between 4800 West and SR-111, and some has pushed past it. The Mountain View Corridor serves this western part of the city. The city counted 36,247 housing units at the 2020 census, and the newest sit out this way. The ground climbs toward the foothills, and the airport at 4450 West sits at 4,603 feet. In a basement, we moisture test the below-grade slab before we pick an epoxy basement floor coating.
West Jordan winters and the work floors around the airport
West Jordan sits at about 4,373 feet on the southwest end of the Salt Lake Valley. Salt Lake City International Airport is about 13.5 miles north of the West Jordan airfield. From 1991 to 2020 it averaged 51.9 inches of snow a year. On nearly half of winter days there, an inch or more of snow sits on the ground. UDOT clears state routes like Redwood Road and Bangerter Highway, with salt brine before storms and salt during them. The first snow usually arrives in November, so fall is the time for concrete sealing before winter. Sealer goes down between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, on concrete at least 30 days past the pour.
South Valley Regional Airport, at 7365 South 4450 West, serves general aviation. The field started out as the Kearns Army Airfield during World War II. Today it supports business flying and flight training, and it houses a Utah National Guard aviation facility. Jordan Landing grew up next door and took its name from the airport. It is one of the largest mixed-use planned developments in the Intermountain West. Hangar floors at the field and store floors at Jordan Landing take tire loads and melted snow. For slabs like these, commercial epoxy flooring for hangars and shops starts with a diamond grind and crack repair.
