What are Verti-Crete sound wall/column dimensions?
Verti-Crete precast sound walls can be created in lengths up to 24 feet and heights up to 16 feet. However, everything from engineering strength and footings to concrete wall aesthetics are customized to your precise specifications. We encourage engineers to consult with us during the planning process to obtain optimal cost efficiencies.
Are Verti-Crete sound walls cast at my site or precast at a production facility?
Verti-Crete concrete walls are precast within our proprietary Panel and Post Stacker Systems. Generally, the forms are used at a central production facility and then the individual concrete panels and columns are trucked to the job site where they are installed and stained. The forms, however, are designed to be portable. A producer may be able to temporarily move the forms and cast at the jobsite itself if the size and location of the job warrant such a move.
How is the final concrete color achieved?
The most common method of coloring is to apply a specially formulated concrete stain designed to seal the concrete and thus resist fading and protect against moisture penetration. After the precast sound wall is installed, a base color is applied with an airless spray gun. Then, accent colors are applied to individual shapes in the concrete to create the subtle yet realistic look of actual stone. The texture, including grout joints, is created in the mold itself.
