Carolina Bomanite Crafts a Campus Concrete Conversion

In the Spring of 2022, Carolina Bomanite Corporation was called in to review a site with collaborating Landscape Architect Ron Cutlip at Statesville Christian School located in Statesville, NC.  The original scope was to evaluate a walkway and possible options for improving an outside seating area where students routinely would eat lunch.  The space also served as the ticket office and commissary for sporting events held on an adjoining sports field.  Given the multipurpose nature of the space, it was essential to find a solution that balanced aesthetics with durability. The existing layout had areas of uneven surfaces and outdated materials that posed both functional and visual challenges.  Carolina Bomanite’s expertise was sought to ensure the improvements would enhance the overall experience for students and visitors alike.

Pathway Perfection and Plaque Placement

Carolina Bomanite installed Statesville Christian School Lion’s Plaza area featuring Bomanite Micro-Top XT.

 

After several donations and designs, work started in January of 2023 with the first phase of sidewalk reconstruction.  This pathway, originally an Eagle Scout project, was beginning to fail due to not having a proper footing.  Several of the bricks were also becoming dislodged creating a trip hazard.  Considering the tight budget, it was decided to reuse and reconstruct the pathway and CMU block wall components, dig and install a proper footer, then pour an imprinted textured sidewalk.  Three future donor plaque walls were also incorporated in this first phase along with wall lighting.

Promenade Planning and Plaza Perfection

 

Carolina Bomanite installed Statesville Christian School Lion’s Plaza area featuring Bomanite Micro-Top XT.Once work started, additional funding became available which allowed an expansion of the original plans to include a Lions Plaza promenade walkway, covered picnic area and composite deck gathering platforms.  Once the scope expanded Carolina Bomanite Corporation began to look at how the space needed to be improved in terms of elevation.  What originally was a bare, sloping expanse needed to be brought to near level even though they were dealing with seven-plus feet of elevation drop.  To correct, a concrete support wall was constructed in the shape of the new Lions Plaza.  During this phase a gas fire pit was installed at the request of the school using blue glass.  Drainage lines were rerouted, French drains installed, as well as low voltage wiring added for lighting.  Due to a few large shade trees in the area, washed stone was used to backfill without disturbing the subsoil and shallow roots.  Having a quarry a half mile from the school proved valuable and cost efficient.

Tiered Transitions and Textured Treatments

Carolina Bomanite installed Statesville Christian School Lion’s Plaza area featuring Bomanite Micro-Top XT.Two levels were designed in order to transition from the picnic zone down to the main walkway.  Synthetic turf was used to handle the steeper transitions between these two areas which also warmed up the space by breaking up the large expanses of concrete.  The upper levels were kept consistent to allow easy travel to the restrooms located at the side of the building.  After the main promenade walkway was installed with Bomanite Slate Texture, work began on the spirit rock entrance by removing the existing asphalt.  Bomanite Slate Texture imprinted concrete was used here as well due to the entire space to receive pigmented Bomanite Micro-Top XT.  After several samples and testing, a red was chosen that once sealed provided a near match to the school’s colors.

School Spirit and Stunning Surfaces

Carolina Bomanite installed Statesville Christian School Lion’s Plaza area featuring Bomanite Micro-Top XT.Ben Hummel, the Head of School, requested that some of the school’s core values and logo be added to the main promenade.  After waiting for summer sports to slow down, the installation of Bomanite Micro-Top XT began in August.  Due to the higher daytime temperatures, Carolina Bomanite Corporation switched their detail crew to nights to combat the high temps.  A four-man crew worked for several weeks from midnight to 8-9am each day.  The white banding was applied first with the red infill last.  Both colors were applied by roller using two coats.  Once complete, the entire space received two coats of Bomanite Sealer.  After a short cure, the graphics were applied, and additional Bomanite Micro-Top XT was used.  The school’s logo turned out to be a challenge, but with seasoned detail veteran Gary Barnhill, it was completed in two days.  The installation of Bomanite Micro-Top XT and graphics took approx. two months including cure times.

Timely Teamwork for Timeless Tribute

Colorado Hardscapes installed Bomanite decorative concrete at Adams County Veterans Memorial in Brighton, CO.Colorado Hardscapes recognized the pressing challenge of timing from the outset.  With the goal of opening in time for Memorial Day, they knew that meeting the deadline would require a keen focus on time allocation.  As a specialty subcontractor, they expected to work alongside other contractors simultaneously.  They held daily meetings to synchronize with specific timelines of the masonry workers, steel workers, and underground utility workers, reviewing plans, providing updates, and ensuring that everyone was on the same page.  This was essential to mitigate confusion or any potential bottlenecks that could stall the project’s progress.

Colorado Hardscapes installed Bomanite decorative concrete at Adams County Veterans Memorial in Brighton, CO.Colorado Hardscapes also worked closely with ECI to offer their knowledge and expertise and help wherever they could, even if it was beyond their scope of work since the complexities of the project included a lot of one-offs for every trade involved.  Ian Mestdagh, Director of Pre-Construction, ECI Site Construction said, “We have had the opportunity to build some pretty special places over the years but this one stands alone. The project team and our subcontractor partners have gone above and beyond to deliver a world-class project that honors those that have sacrificed everything.  Throughout this process, Colorado Hardscapes has led the charge in working through the details of this amazing project and really revolutionizing what is possible with concrete.”

Innovative Story Wall

In addition to the large scope of specialty finishes on this project Colorado Hardscapes also had the chance to create the Story Wall.  Project manager, Nick Federico, exhibited outstanding innovation and dedication in his quest to create a wall that would truly capture and immortalize the veterans it honors, conveying the compelling story of deployment to reunion.  This wall required a considerable amount of lumber on-site in addition to three pumps to assist their crew during the pour.  The form liner system enabled Colorado Hardscapes to create ribs that were millimeters wide and varying in depth, resulting in a 3D illusion of grayscale photographs, letters home, and telegrams.  Although there have been numerous pre-cast applications of this form liner system, this Story Wall is the first cast-in-place installation of which we are aware.  It stands as a poignant tribute to the individual narratives of veterans, and the creative concrete craftsmen at Colorado Hardscapes are deeply proud of the innovation that went into its creation.

Texas Bomanite Transforms Two Elementary Schools

Buildings have a life span, but more importantly they often have an earlier shelf life, as was the case for two elementary schools in Central Texas.  The Del Valle ISD (Independent School District) is a public educational district located in the Del Valle area, which is an unincorporated part of Travis County, TX.  This district provides educational services to a significant portion of southeast Travis County.  The district encompasses several incorporated communities, including Creedmoor, Webberville, the majority of Mustang Ridge, and some sections of Austin.  In conjunction with the 2019 voter approved Bond proposition, and an architecture schematic subsequently created by Pfluger Architects, Del Valle ISD contracted American Constructors as the General Contractor to demolish and replace two of the district’s oldest campuses, Hornsby-Dunlap Elementary and Smith Elementary.  American Constructors selected Texas Bomanite to install the decorative concrete in both schools.

Texas Bomanite was asked by American Constructors to provide over 70,000 SF of Diamond Polished, Dyed, and stamped concrete throughout the elementary school for each of the schools.  The project scope and timeline took three months to complete and included an initial mockup for each school prior to installation, 1500 grit polished concrete with Salt and Pepper aggregate exposure, a dyed concrete geometric design throughout the floors, and a school logo unique to each school.  The colors used for the geometric floor design were Sweet Potato, Black Orchid, Pineapple, Blueberry, Pine Green, and Turquoise.  The decorative concrete chosen for both of the installations were Bomanite Custom Polishing Systems using Bomanite VitraFlor and Bomanite Patène Teres, Bomanite Toppings Systems using Bomanite Patène Artectura, and Bomanite Imprint Systems.

Many Systems Many Satisfied Stakeholders

The Bomanite Custom Polishing System’s patented technology, when combined with Bomanite’s renowned color and craftsmanship, results in the finest concrete floor finish in the industry.  The process involves a polish that chemically bonds with the concrete, locking in the color, while the mechanical application seals the surface, preventing contaminants from penetrating.  One application, permanent results.  Lustrous color, protected by a tight, beautiful sheen.

The Bomanite Custom Polishing System VitraFlor, even when applied to gray concrete, can yield remarkable results.  This system, which is the foundation for all other Bomanite systems, can be used on both new and existing uncolored concrete.  With Bomanite VitraFlor, Bomanite fulfills its promise of making all concrete both functional and fashionable.  The process includes initial grinding, hardening with Bomanite Stabilizer Pro, honing, and polishing, capped off with protection from Bomanite VitraFinish.  Of all the Bomanite Custom Polishing systems, Bomanite VitraFlor is the most cost-effective option, mainly intended for new construction or extensive renovations.

Meanwhile, the Bomanite Patène Teres system is designed to color fully cured concrete during the polishing process, using Bomanite Chemical Stains and Bomanite Concrete Dyes. Starting with a base of uncolored gray concrete, which may include Bomanite Integral Color or Bomanite Color Hardener applied during placement, the floor undergoes grinding, staining, or dyeing, and then follows the standard Bomanite VitraFlor System process. The key advantage of Bomanite Patène Teres lies in its ability to introduce a wide spectrum of topical colors to concrete. When combined with skilled saw cutting techniques for patterns or designs, this process can elevate concrete to a form of art, offering a range from simple monochromatic tones to bright, vibrant hues and a variety of finishes from urban sophistication to varied, rustic styles.  Like Bomanite VitraFlor, Bomanite Patène Teres is primarily aimed at new construction or major renovation projects.
