Main Terrain chuggin along

Well, it's now been about a month since the Main Terrain project has started and as usual, we're chugging right along and making good time. We've cleaned up the site, poured art foundations, dug the new retention ponds and done a lot of underground work for the new rain harvesting system being installed, but nothing makes us happier here at Yerbey to see CONCRETE on the ground and that's what we're doing today! This week we started pouring the 3 center rings that will go around the 3 main pieces of art in the middle of the park. These circles are no laughing matter either. Each one has to be dead on in height and joint pattern so that the rest of the park will be able to fall into place correctly. Thanks to our Project Manager, Seth Williams, that's exactly what we accomplished! Not everyone can put together a project with such precision as our guys. We pride ourselves on doing this kind of detailed work and prove it over and over to our clients. We'll do it right or we won't take the project!

Main Terrain Art Park
Watch out Chattanooga...Yerbey Concrete is part of yet another city changing project!
Southside's new Main Terrain Art Park construction has begun on the not-so-pretty tract of land connecting Main Street to 13th Street at the entrance of the Chattanoogan. This forgotten piece of land has spent years becoming overgrown after it's heyday in the early part of the 20th century as part of Chattanooga's train system.
This new park will be unlike any other in Chattanooga (which is such a Chattanooga thing to do) in that it will not only be a gorgeous place to come and hang out, but it will incorporate 5 fitness stations being coordinated by Get Built Chattanooga and 9 total art pieces by Thomas Sayre of North Carolina. Public Art of Chattanooga has brought Mr. Sayre in with his innovative interactive art pieces, which when moved will resemble our beloved Market Street bridge...thus spanning the gap between the Riverfront and our ever-growing Southside.
Thanks to the City of Chattanooga for giving us the opportunity to work on this groundbreaking project!
