The International Concrete Repair Institute has announced the winners of its 2011 Project Awards.
ConTech Construction LLC, of Winter Garden, Fla., was presented with the 2011 Project of the Year Award for its work on the Royal Floridian Resort, a seven-story vacation resort in Ormond Beach, Fla. Originally built in 1973, the building had been altered several times over the years, but progressive deterioration caused by the harsh saltwater environment had never been addressed. The concrete deterioration was so severe that the balconies and walkways had to be completely removed and replaced with new concrete containing a corrosion-inhibiting admixture. The team also executed an architectural aesthetic makeover that transformed the worn-out, drab facility into a gorgeous, modern destination resort.
In addition to the Project of the Year Award, ICRI awarded eight 2011 Awards of Excellence and 13 Awards of Merit. Detailed descriptions of the winning projects can be found on ICRI’s website.
