The American Society of Concrete Contractors’ Decorative Concrete Council announced the winners of its annual awards program on Jan. 17 at World of Concrete.
Except for Countertops, Project Video, and a new category, Decorative Environmental, projects are divided by size: under and over 5,000 square feet. Judges may — but don’t have to — award a first and second place in each category and size. And that’s what they did; in some cases, only a first place was awarded.
Congratulations to the 23 specialty contracting companies on their remarkable achievements. Click through the slideshow for project details of the first place winners, and the WOW! Award: Mission Concepcion Park in San Antonio, Texas, by Sundeck of San Antonio. A 7,000 SF area received a combination of sandblasting and stain to create the intricate, swirled design that mimics the swirls and eddies of the San Antonio River. The surface needed to be durable enough to hold up under significant bike and foot traffic. The acid stain was applied first, followed by months of using a needle scaler to remove the surface of the concrete. The beautiful transformation to stained and exposed concrete pavement presents a wonderful contrast between liquid nature and solid infrastructure.
