Velocity Construction- Difficult Dirt Installation- No Problem!


Velocity Construction does another job that nobody thought could be done!- 
We were warned that this dirt installation would not be "possible" because the walls in the stem wall were the "blow out" kind- an unusual specification since the walls were below grade. This means the  walls were fragile, and easily moved and damaged. We were successful in installing the 400+ yards of dirt, meeting our compaction tests, and not filling the wall with dirt! Check out these pictures-

Extra Care- We go the extra mile!

Taco Bell Mania!

Bollards and Monument for Signs



Here are some interestingl jobs this year- 4 Taco Bells in different locations. The General Contractor was Shamrock Development. We worked together with them to meet their stringent time schedule. Shamrock is very committed to fulfilling their promises to their clients, such as Yum! and so are we! These were all remodels, with the exterior concrete removed and replaced with ADA compliant sidewalks and ramps. Curb and monuments for various signs, as well as block for a screen wall and dumpster, as well as the dumpster pads were also part of these assignments
Nice neat joints!

Here are some pictures of some crosswalks we did on 22nd st. just north of University Square Mall. These included header curbs 1'x1' as well as 8" concrete in the recessed area with a double mat of rebar. The recess is lined with pavers on an inch of sand.
