Concrete Foundation – Valley Springs Road, Austin, TX

Currently under construction by accomplished home builder Brian A. Bailey, this elegant estate has been sited to take maximum advantage of the property’s stunning  skyline views from it’s perch high above Lady Bird Lake.  Our scope of work included the site preparation, concrete footings and drilled piers necessary to support a 7,700 s.f. slab-on-grade for the main house, in addition to footings and support walls for a 2,100 s.f. pool and terrace placed at the very edge of the building site overlooking Lady Bird Lake.

Austin Residential Concrete Formwork Foothills Terrace Residence

In addition to the slab foundation for the primary residence, our scope of work included the construction of a number of structural walls, support piers, pool and cabana features.  The design called for a series of concrete beams and walls topped with hollow core planks. The highly expansive soil that is typically found in this part of Austin required significant planning and engineering, and necessitated a 20 ft. deep excavation within which an elevated concrete structure was made supporting the pool, allowing for a 2 ft. soil expansion clearance between bottom of the pool deck and the soil surface.
