Fort Bliss Battle Command Training Center
PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS/INFORMATION
Description:
Bomanite Certified Grasscrete Contractor, Bomanite Artistic Concrete installed Grasscrete at the Fort Bliss Battle Command Training Center (BCTC). The void structured concrete was filled with stone in lieu of grass due to the desert location. The slab was designed to handle Humvee’s and Bradley Fighting Vehicles along with the occasional Abrams tank. A hardened pad in the center was created so that tracked vehicles can traverse the Grasscrete, pivot on the pad and exit the slab without damaging the Grasscrete surface extensively. Battle training exercises are conducted on the slab in conjunction with the trainings they do in adjacent buildings. Approximately 73,000 square feet of Grasscrete was poured over 8 to 12” of crushed stone with no drains or storm water infrastructure
