Boulderscape completed installation of structural rebar and forming, followed by an 8″ thick structural concrete layer, a 19″ thick cap, and a 1″ – 3″ thick architectural layer with a chiseled block face. BSI Stain was applied afterward to match the existing block in the area.

Blue Earth County initially used cast-in-place large chiseled blocks for multiple soil nail walls along Highway 66 in Mankato. The shoring contractor engaged Boulderscape to explore the feasibility of replicating these blocks. After thorough discussions, it was determined feasible. On-site mock-ups were created and approved. Boulderscape not only shortened the overall duration of the wall construction but also saved the owners over $200,000.
