The Serb Project

In Briones, California, more precisely northeast of Orinda in the East Bay, the initial project was already started by the customer. A soldier pile designed retaining wall was being constructed by infilling between I-beams with cast-in-place concrete.

After suggesting a more artistically pleasing design for the retaining wall with the use of shotcrete and rock carving to hide the exposed I-beams, Johnson Western Gunite installed 6200 square feet of rock carved shotcrete. The customer later decided to have the basement foundation walls of his house designed with shotcrete. The house basement now has 12 feet tall shotcrete walls, and a 36 foot tall  x 24 feet in diameter shotcrete turret.
