Connecticut Bomanite Crafts Campus Continuity with Captivating Concrete at Yale

Pedestrian Pathway Perfection

Bomanite Sandscape Texture by Connecticut Bomanite Systems at Yale Gibbs Court.Few campus landmarks carry both the weight of history and the daily wear of thousands of footsteps quite like Gibbs Court, the prominent pedestrian corridor linking Yale University’s Sterling Chemistry and Sloane Physics Laboratories.  Honoring the legacy of Josiah Willard Gibbs, this redesigned hardscape project demanded a finish that could balance beauty with durability in one of the university’s busiest spaces.  Connecticut Bomanite Systems was selected as the installer due to their trusted track record of delivering exceptional decorative concrete projects for Yale.  Turner Construction Inc. served as the general contractor, while the architectural vision was crafted by Stantec.  Together, the project team chose Bomanite Sandscape® Texture, a surface known for its refined aesthetic and high-performance qualities.  This decorative concrete solution offered slip resistance, long-lasting strength, and low maintenance—crucial for institutional use where safety and endurance are paramount.  The decision set the stage for an innovative installation that would elevate Gibbs Court into a functional yet commemorative landmark.

Challenging Construction Circumstances

Bomanite Sandscape Texture by Connecticut Bomanite Systems at Yale Gibbs Court.Executing the project at Yale was far from simple, as the construction sequence introduced unique challenges that tested the experience and creativity of the team.  The main section of Gibbs Court was poured and sealed in the fall, only to be buried under metal plates and dirt for more than eight months while a massive underground tunnel excavation for steam lines proceeded nearby.  Heavy machinery, constant traffic, and prolonged cover put significant pressure on the newly installed decorative concrete slab.  Remarkably, the Bomanite Sandscape® Texture surface withstood these extreme conditions, maintaining integrity despite unpredictable curing.  When crews returned, the original installation stood strong, showcasing the resilience and reliability of Bomanite’s engineered systems.  This stage of the project demonstrated how advanced decorative concrete technology can endure even the most demanding construction environments.

Supplier Setbacks Surmounted

As work resumed, the Connecticut Bomanite Systems crew faced another hurdle: the original concrete supplier had depleted the sand needed for consistency with the initial pour.  Switching bins or sourcing substitutes could have created visible differences in color, texture, and finish, jeopardizing the project’s continuity.  To solve this issue, a new supplier was identified, and the team worked with meticulous precision to replicate the exact appearance of the earlier installation.  This level of craftsmanship highlights the artistry required in decorative concrete work, where even slight variations can affect the overall harmony of a high-profile campus setting.  By carefully managing mix design, finishing, and curing processes, the installers ensured a seamless transition between phases.  Their success reinforced why Connecticut Bomanite Systems is trusted for technically demanding and architecturally sensitive projects.

 

 

Safety, Signage, and Surroundings

Heritage Bomanite Breathes Life into Damaged Vertical Walls

Conquering Concrete Challenges

Original damage before Heritage Bomanite installed decorative concrete vertical walls using Bomanite Micro-Top XT.Few expect concrete walls to become conversation pieces, yet Heritage Bomanite consistently turns ordinary into unforgettable.  Approached by a trusted general contractor, the skilled artisans were tasked with salvaging a cast-in-place wall marred by an inferior stucco finish.  Once power washed, the wall revealed its true condition—wavy surfaces, mismatched plank lines, and overlooked concrete defects.  Heritage Bomanite immediately assessed several options, including complete wall replacement.  However, the risk of damaging the underground parking structure eliminated full removal as viable.  Ultimately, the team embraced restoration through meticulous attention and careful craftsmanship.

Meticulous Measures Matter

Heritage Bomanite installed decorative concrete vertical walls using Bomanite Micro-Top XT.Heritage Bomanite’s skilled craftsmen began their restorative journey with precise surface preparation.  Initial grinding removed the flawed texture, smoothing uneven surfaces and eliminating stubborn imperfections.  They meticulously extracted overlooked remnants of original formwork embedded in the wall.  Subsequent patching addressed extensive voids and inconsistencies, while fresh concrete stabilized severely damaged sections.  Each step required expert precision and unwavering patience from the skilled craftsmen.  Their careful work set the stage perfectly for the transformative decorative process to follow.

Precision Primer Preparations

Heritage Bomanite installed decorative concrete vertical walls using Bomanite Micro-Top XT.The concrete surface required carefully applied primer coats to ensure a durable, reliable bond.  Heritage Bomanite’s decorative concrete specialists applied multiple primer layers, carefully sanding between each to create optimal adhesion.  These layers provided essential stability, anchoring subsequent coatings securely onto the repaired concrete base.  Without this foundational attention, the decorative finishes risked premature failure.  Despite temperatures often exceeding 100 degrees, the crew persevered, diligently working to ensure each layer adhered flawlessly.  This meticulous preparation proved pivotal for the ultimate success of the decorative finishing process.

Tackling Tough Tape Techniques

Heritage Bomanite installed decorative concrete vertical walls using Bomanite Micro-Top XT.Creating distinct plank lines became one of the project’s most challenging tasks.  Tape was painstakingly applied to represent crisp, horizontal plank lines, each line precisely measured to ensure consistency.  Irregular wall heights and wavy surfaces complicated measuring and marking immensely, demanding remarkable patience.  Snapping string lines was unreliable due to surface irregularities, requiring alternate, manual methods of measuring.  The meticulous attention to every inch of tape ensured accuracy across the entire 3,500-square-foot surface.  Ultimately, the careful labor produced beautifully distinct plank lines enhancing the wall’s visual appeal.

Terrific Toppings Triumph

Heritage Bomanite installed decorative concrete vertical walls using Bomanite Micro-Top XT.Using Bomanite Topping Systems provided numerous aesthetic and structural advantages, vital for revitalizing the damaged wall.  The durable and flexible characteristics of these systems helped mask previous imperfections and ensure long-term resilience.  Easy to maintain and exceptionally strong, Bomanite Toppings Systems protected the underlying wall from future damage and weathering.  Its versatile application facilitated various textures and visual effects, supporting creative design possibilities.  Most importantly, the decorative concrete provided a uniform appearance that seamlessly hid repairs.  The system’s exceptional performance solidified its status as the best decorative concrete solution for this challenging project.

Micro-Top XT Mastery
