THE EMIGRANT INN
About the Project
The Emigrant Inn is located on Main Street across from the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Texas. The building structure consists of a basement floor intended for retail, and two stories of guest rooms and associated amenities. The property sits in the epicenter of town, which for years has been a tourist destination with a rich German history dating back to 1846.
Shotcrete Construction
CCP was selected for the temporary shotcrete shoring of one wall within an excavated, zero lot line construction site. Scope included all materials, equipment and specialty labor to install welded wire mesh, associated anchors and perform shotcrete placement. The utilization of shotcrete for the project served two purposes. It temporarily stabilized the excavated wall from erosion and adverse weather during the course of construction. Shotcrete also provided a uniform, vertical concrete surface by filling in any areas of over-excavation, thus allowing for suitable, secure waterproof membrane installation. Other excavated walls utilized both wood lagging and soldier pile retainage systems. Shotcrete proved advantageous for its versatility and flexibility. CCP was able to mobilize quickly and perform all preparations and shotcrete operations within two working days.
