Paddock Square, a town square where residents congregate for nightly entertainment with
plenty of food and retail opportunities, features water towers, silos, barn and log-cabin
structures. The style is designed back to an era when cowboys drove cattle through the state. Bomanite Licensee, Edwards Concrete Company took the ideas of the architect, Michael Pape & Associates, and made them come alive with their talented crew of concrete artist and even added a few of their own designs to make the theme really stand out and create a WOW factor.

At Paddock Square, Edwards Concrete placed integrally colored concrete in an earthy brown shade. Bomanite Color Hardeners and Release Agents were utilized with the Dried Earth Texture stamp to provide an illusion of sun-baked mud and dirt.

The sidewalks to the entrance of Brownwood at Paddock Square had to be poured while
overhead cranes set the Bronze statues in place. Once the cows, horse and dog were in place the Edwards crew had to pour concrete up to and around the animal feet then stamped the concrete to make it look like the animals were traveling through an old west town on a dried cracked mud path. The cow and horse stamps had to be made to match the size of the animals and scale of the statues. Creative stamping techniques were utilized, for horseshoes, “cowboy” footprints and tracks of wagon wheels. Installers strapped horse stamps onto their own feet and even hired a dog to strut across the wet concrete. The Bomacron Dried Earth Texture imprinting tool from Bomanite was employed to weather the faux dirt.

Bomanite has a commanding selection of imprinting tools to select from. Bomanite molds are developed from natural products such as stone or wood as well as unconventional surfaces such as metal or plastic. Images,logos, borders and highly custom textures are all part of the Bomanite offering. Bomanite products have been engineered to produce highly architectural imprinted concrete with long lasting results. The Bomanite fl agship coloring product used with our Imprint Systems, Bomanite Color Hardener, has been time proven over decades of installations in all climates. With a wide product offering, Bomanite Imprint Systems are a single source for all your concrete coloring and texturing needs.

Bomanite Modena Monolithic is a cementitious interior bonded floor topping mix that is blended with selected decorative aggregates using traditional ready mix concrete equipment, then placed and trowel finished. Once fully cured Bomanite Modena Monolithic is ground to expose the aggregates and polished to the desired gloss level. Bomanite Modena Monolithic is installed over concrete in a wet on wet process the same day the concrete slab is poured. Cove base and stair components are generally pre-cast and finished to match. Bomanite Modena Monolithic is engineered to work best with aggregates such as granite, glass, marble, porcelain, etc. that range from 1/4” to 3/4” in size. Unlike comparable terrazzo flooring, Bomanite Modena Monolithic is designed specifically to be polished with an aggregate gradation similar to that of concrete. Bomanite Modena Monolithic is integrally colored in a wide range of options and may be seeded with additional aggregate when creating highly unique floors.

Bomanite Modena Monolithic is generally installed at a 3/4” to 1 1/2” thickness dependent upon the size of aggregate with thicker section thickness possible for select applications. Bomanite Modena Monolithic may be lightly walked on 24 hours after placement, with grinding and polishing generally taking place after three days or longer of cure time. Testing of moisture drive and assessment of the concrete integrity prior to the installation of Bomanite Modena Monolithic is a necessity. Due its unique concrete like proprieties Bomanite Modena Monolithic can be hard troweled and paste polished if desired.

For applications over existing concrete where aggregate less than 1/8” in size and rapid
installation is desired consult the Bomanite Modena SL Technical Bulletin. For applications over existing concrete where aggregate larger than 1/8” in size and/or the ability to surface seed aggregates is desired, consult the Bomanite Modena TG Technical Bulletin. As with all Bomanite Systems, Bomanite Modena Monolithic mix designs, associated products and application procedures are available only to Bomanite Licensed contractors.

The Bomanite Custom Polishing Systems are applied by specially trained and licensed Bomanite Contractors, ensuring consistent quality in every application.

Immediately following the last home game of the 2011 season, TCU began demolition
on the east side of the Amon G. Carter Stadium. Ninety-five donors contributed over $164
million dollars to have the stadium renovated, exceeding the original goal of $105 million.  The overage allowed for work to be completed to the east side of the stadium before TCU’s debut in the Big 12 Conference this year.

In order to be ready for the  first home football game, the renovation had to be put on a very aggressive and accelerated schedule. Texas Bomanite, Bomanite Licensee, was involved with the Founders’ Plaza part of the design from the beginning. Newman, Jackson, Bieberstein Inc., (NJB) the landscape architecture  firm tasked with designing the plaza, consulted with Texas Bomanite about different finishes, which led to meetings with the university and Austin Commercial LP, the general contractor on the project.

 The architectural team, consisting of NJB and the stadium redevelopment’s lead
architectural  firm, HKS, wanted to depict an accurate representation of downtown Fort Worth in 1930. Texas Bomanite crews worked feverishly to complete over 40,000 square feet of exterior walkways on the Founder’s Plaza and around the stadium to the visitor’s entrance. The Founder’s Plaza features statues of the donors who made the renovations possible, all set in a “street map” of Fort Worth, featuring nearby streets, railroad tracks and even the Trinity River, using several different products and systems.  The Founder’s Plaza was completed using the following finishes: Bomanite Sandscape, Seeded Aggregate (all granites from the San Saba area), Bomanite Con-Color Stain & Sandblast. For the Trinity River, a custom-made stamp called Shifting Sand was used and was embedded with purple rope lights for a stunning visual at night. Texas Bomanite also embedded 71 stainless steel letters to call out Fort Worth street names, as well as solar lights throughout.  The visitor’s entrance features a 40-foot wide TCU logo encapsulated by a circle.

Bomanite Sandscape Texture is designed for outdoor applications where an alternate to
conventional concrete finishes is required. Sandscape Texture, one of the Exposed Aggregate Systems offered by Bomanite for architectural concrete surfaces, utilizes specialized concrete mix designs, additives, topical treatments and advanced application procedures. The  finished Sandscape Texture product resembles sand blasted concrete and can incorporate specialized colored sands in the concrete and aggregates exceeding 3/8” in diameter.  The  final product is an economical alternate to other decorative  finishes while producing a monolithic concrete slab with a low life cycle cost due to the pre-aged nature of the surface. Applications include plazas, shopping centers, schools and exterior walkways—anywhere improved wear resistance for light- to moderate-duty vehicular or foot traffic is necessary.  These highly durable surfaces are available in a multitude of standard and custom options, including light-reflective formulations that reduce heat island effect.

The Bomanite Exposed Aggregate Systems are applied by specially trained and licensed Bomanite Contractors, ensuring consistent quality in every application. Every Bomanite Licensed Contractor is part of a network of architectural concrete experts – professionals who receive ongoing technical training to ensure that your project is completed on time,
on budget, and beyond your expectations. To find your local certified expert near you, visit our Find Licensed Contractor section of the web.
