Posted by Matt Milos on Jul 8th 2015
Project Timeframe: January 2014 - November 2015
Client: The Fairmont Creamery
Contractor: General - Turner Construction, Restoration - Grunwell-Cashero
Construction Building Materials: Sika Sikacem 103F, SikaQuick 1000 and SikaQuick VOH
Challenge: Creative re-purpose of 106,000 square foot historic structure into a mixed-use project featuring residential and commercial space.
Solution: Sika shotcrete and concrete repair products, color matched with Phipps concrete tinting systems.
Located in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood, Fairmont Creamery was constructed in 1930 to serve as a processing and distribution facility. Abandoned in the 1980's, it stood idle until it was named a historic building in 2013. The industrial rehab project will be home to 30 apartments, 6 offices, a fitness facility and a cafe.
Products used:
Sikacem 103F Shotcrete: used interior with shotcrete machine for columns and ceiling. Architect was looking for a rough natural finish on the ceiling to provide a rustic look. Product allowed ease of application and decreased man hours in a structural repair requiring little finishing.
SikaQuick 1000 and SikaQuick VOH: both used for interior repair applications, historic building needed structural repairs matching the color of the existing exterior. Phipps was able to custom color the products using Scofield's Integral Color Concrete Tinting System, providing a form-and-pour and hand applied patches that cured to a color matched repair.
