If you look around any city when you are driving by, you will recognize a lot of construction going on all over the place. Do you ever wonder what they are actually constructing, who is constructing it, and what the process of it is. If not, maybe you are in search of constructing your own building. Either way, this information is an important aspect of the construction industry.

The Fox Parking Structure is located in Fox Studios Los Angeles, CA. Shotcrete Systems contracted this project to place over 3,000cyds of 6,000psi Shotcrete. This is to be able to construct a 5 level parking structure for Fox Studios. The initial design of the parking structure was supposed to be constructed of columns using the typical CIP concrete methods after the walls were built and constructed. This option was removed because it was going to end up more costly and would drag out way longer than expected. The new method of using 3,000cyds of 6,000psi Shotcrete would be a better option for all parties involved in the construction, employees and employers. It would cut down significantly on the time and cost of construction and engineering. The new method involves constructing the columns as an integral part of the Fox Parking Structure walls. This type of construction is used for any basement walls also involved in parking structures.
