Smith-Midland Wins Award for Smithsonian National Zoo Project in Washington, DC
(firmenpresse) - MIDLAND, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/27/16 -- (OTCQX: SMID) -- The Washington Building Congress has awarded the 2016 Precast Concrete Craftsmanship Award for its manufacturing of the Retaining Wall in Washington, DC. The 850 foot long x 30 foot high simulated stone retaining wall was built to replace existing structures along an extensive drop off on the entrance road above parking lot C. General Contractor worked with Smith-Midland to design the precast concrete panels, and to complete the welding and wall erection. Originally designed to be cast in place, Hensel Phelps rethought the process, proposing a value engineering option involving the use of a shotcrete wall and placement of precast concrete panels as a facing. The precast panels were engineered like puzzle pieces, creating interlocking sections to disguise the horizontal joints between the panels, blending naturally with the stone block design. This ultimately led to a higher quality final product for the customer.
The panels were formed and hand-stained to mimic the look and color variations of a natural stone wall, matching the stone walls located on the nearby Rock Creek Parkway. "This wall has all the color variations of a natural wall, with a permanent penetrating stain that will last indefinitely," says Smith-Midland's president, Ashley Smith. "We are proud of this project. It exemplifies Smith-Midland's ability to innovate. We worked out the logistics with the contracting team, and delivered a quality product for our customer."
