Concrete Evidence

Industry Insights
Concrete is temperamental. Improper mixture, drainage, reinforcement or treatment can quickly lead to cracks…cracks lead to disaster. In fact, dreams have literally crumbled and life savings have turned to rubble as a consequence of poor concrete planning and installation. Arguably, few building components have greater impact on structural integrity than concrete.
Over the past fifty years, W&O has earned a name across Middle Tennessee that is somewhat synonymous with quality water and sewer projects. The scale of these concrete structures has challenged us to develop a unique expertise in this finicky medium.
If you can build a concrete structure that holds a city’s water supply, you can build a basement that stays dry…warehouse floors that resist cracking…a reinforced commercial structure that withstands internal decay. As a result of our specific expertise, W&O is becoming the most sought after design-build contractor for custom homes, commercial, industrial and community buildings where structural integrity is a concern.
