The Tall Timber Tan colored shotcrete was used to carve sections to look like mountain rocks.

A total of 670 cubic yards was used in this project.  The river is 1,100’ long, 20’ wide, and 28” deep.

IRMCA presents these awards to recognize extensive application or imaginative use of concrete; and to honor the accomplishments of project owners, architects, engineers, contractors, owners and ready mixed concrete producers.
