Heavy Equipment Equipment

Question: Any alternatives to concrete for heavy equipment shop flooring?

Our shop caught fire and we are in the process of rebuilding bigger and in a different location. It is 200' x 100' and the new flooring needs to be able to withstand tons of weight. We got a bid of $30, 000 for concrete, which we can do I was just curious if there were any other options; asphalt, recycled rubber, etc. Please, no suggestions that cut corners, we want to save money without compromising. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Concrete is the only one.

Asphalt won't stand-up to concentrated weight, it will 'flow' & get bumps & ruts. Concrete is the answer.
