Greenfield – Main – Hawthorne Reconstruction

In May 2021, MCON was contacted by Novatech and the National Capital Commission to design a retaining wall that would be placed adjacent to the intersection of Colonel By Drive and Main Street.

Novatech noted that with the use of a precast product such as Stone Strong, the existing canal pathway could remain open during construction.

Due to the location of the site and the presence of other retaining walls nearby that were either plain or striated concrete, and the wall’s visibility from the canal, Novatech suggested that visual consistency needed to be a key consideration. MCON heard this and created custom, smooth-faced blocks with chamfered edges to blend into the location’s aesthetic.
