PROJECT OVERVIEW
With an average of 360 days of sunshine per year, Clearwater Beach, Fla., is a popular destination for tourists. So it’s no surprise that parking is in demand. The addition of the North Beach Parking Plaza near the center of Clearwater Beach Island, just a short distance from the Gulf of Mexico, was a welcome addition.

PRECAST SOLUTION
Precast concrete was chosen to withstand the coastal environment as well as provide surge protection for the street-level retail. Due to the tight site, the installation had to proceed with near surgical precision. At the same time, the precast concrete had to serve as a fire separation wall, because the structure is right against the retail plaza. |
