all existing elements and took samples of all colors to
ensure a perfect match. 13,000 square feet of 4” thick
original decorative concrete at the bottom of the fountain
was demolished and removed. Following in-house shop drawings,
1,120 pre-cast concrete serpentine curbs were fabricated.
The curbs were then installed in the field to act as forms
for the cast-in-place concrete.
With
large crews on-hand, white concrete and black concrete slabs
were poured-in-place in alternate rows to match the original
colors. Before the concrete was allowed to set-up, colored
river-washed pebbles were manually pressed into the concrete.
In
addition to the concrete work, the walls of the tank were
stripped and painted and all granite trim was cut out and
fully re-caulked. |
