Loews Kansas City Convention Center Hotel
As part of Kansas City’s newest luxury high-rise hotel, J. E. Dunn Construction and Olsson, the engineering firm, needed an engineered product to clad a natural shale outcropping. The retaining wall blocks would need to be versatile and durable enough to install without reinforcement, but the finished look would need to be architectural in texture and quality.
The engineering and construction team chose SI Precast to supply the retaining wall block and Lewis Block to build the wall. The result is the 47′ tall, 170′ long, 8,000 Sq.Ft. Redi-Rock retaining wall you see here. More pictures will be posted after the hotel is completed.
