Our unique challenge with this job in Gainesville was that the footers would not stay in place with conventional methods. We solved this problem by using a Stayform System which allows the forms to remain steady in the loose Florida soil.

RELATED PROJECTS
Silverback is proud to support the University of Florida as a trusted concrete partner. For the new College of Design, Construction and Planning, we delivered footings and cast-in-place walls with a standout feature: a true 1×8 board finish on the exterior walls. This authentic, organic texture delivers both striking beauty and lasting strength.

Silverback delivered 3,000 cubic yards of footers for a new 170-acre regional school in southern Virginia — all in just five weeks. Operating three excavators twelve hours a day, we poured 200 cubic yards every afternoon while consistently placing concrete within 24 hours of opening the footers, exceeding 700 cubic yards per week.

This project is especially meaningful to us — Silverback has called this church home for 27 years. After pouring the original foundation years ago, we’re honored to build the new addition. We went beyond the plans with wider, deeper footings and extra reinforcement to create a strong, lasting foundation built on faith for generations to come.
