Along Utah’s US 89–I-84 corridor, Boulderscape collaborated on the design and sculpting of 142,000 square feet of structural and architectural shotcrete — a hand-carved Farmington Ashlar finish delivered in 154 days at 82% below traditional construction.

On Utah's US 89–I-84 Interchange, Boulderscape worked directly with the project architect to design and sculpt a series of highway retaining walls featuring a hand carved Farmington Ashlar finish and smooth wall caps. The project encompassed more than 142,000 square feet of wall face and 8,230 linear feet of formed cap.
By utilizing sculpted shotcrete instead of traditional cast in place construction, the project realized savings exceeding $1 million while reducing the construction schedule by approximately four months.
Boulderscape placed a 22" structural shotcrete section with an average 2" architectural relief over a soil nail wall system using a 4,500 PSI mix design. The entire scope was completed in just 154 days, delivering a durable architectural retaining wall system significantly faster than conventional construction methods.

Boulderscape installed structural reinforcement, smooth cap forming, 2,800 linear feet of v-ditch, a 22" thick structural shotcrete layer, and a 2" ashlar-finished layer, then stained it to match the existing ashlar.
