BMW Dealership
ABW Construction had the opportunity to demonstrate to Foushee and Associates the Power of the Pump Truck. Floor tolerance specification for the 14,000 s/f showroom was stringent. Time was of the essence and we were asked to help engineer a solution. We surveyed the floor to determine the exact quantity of material necessary to achieve the ceramic tile specification (1/8" in 10'). Once Foushee, Western Tile and Marble and ABW agreed to the plan, we mobilized. In just two days we cleaned the substrate, set grade with level pegs, applied primer, and poured an average of 3/4" of SuperCap. The first day was spent setting elevation pins and priming. On the second day, the power of the Pump Truck allowed us to pour all 85,000lbs of material in just 3.5 hours! Our impact on the job was minimal. Nothing went into the building accept 1 hose and 4 men. The results were outstanding.

Garfield High School
Garfield High School was an exciting job for ABW. The concrete in this century old building required major restoration. The ABW team was invited in to help determine the best way to address several issues with the concrete. Weight restrictions, moisture issues, and weather were just some of our challenges this project presented us with.

Harborview Medical Center
The Harborview project presented the general contractor with many challenges typical of any major, fast-track construction project. ABW has helped with several unforeseen issues including moisture remediation and finished concrete elevation. The aggressive schedule on this project didn’t allow the time frame necessary for concrete to dry to suitable standards recognized by floor covering manufacturers. Floor finishes needed to be installed and ABW was hired to help the project stay on track. We were hired to address the moisture issue in timely manner that would impact other trades as little as possible. Our performance with this scope of work led to the GC keeping us around to help with the concrete leveling.

Washington Square
Trying to keep a project on schedule and work around the severe weather Seattle has to offer can be quite a task. Often times a contractor is forced to pour concrete in less than perfect conditions which can lead to repair working further down the line. ABW was hired to do just that repair work at Washington Square. Do to some of the rain-out conditions in these buildings, the flooring contractor was unable to install the floor coverings on time and on budget. We were called and asked to act quickly as to maintain the aggressive project schedule. We identified the damaged areas, presented a solution, and finished the work in a very short window. We enabled the flooring contractor to keep moving and helped the whole project stay on schedule for a very affordable price.

Clover Park
When Clover Park Technical College decided to expand one of there buildings, they realized that the concrete that was once suitable for exterior use, would not offer the same benefits once the expansion took place. The exposed aggregate that provided slip resistance would not make a smooth enough substrate for the new floor covering. ABW was hired to pour a self-leveling underlayment over the exposed aggregate and make it suitable for the installation of VCT.
