Gangway Sidewalk Removal and Replacement in Chicago

This project involved the removal and replacement of deteriorated concrete gangway sidewalks and walkways at a Chicago property. Work began with clean saw cuts to separate the existing concrete from adjacent slabs, followed by full demolition and excavation of the failed walkways. Proper subgrade preparation was completed to ensure long-term performance and drainage prior to new concrete placement.

California Edge Finish and Concrete Joint Placement

The new gangway sidewalks and walkways were poured with a California edge finish, providing a clean, decorative appearance while maintaining durability and functionality. Expansion joints were installed where new concrete abuts existing concrete to allow for movement and prevent cracking. Control joints were carefully placed to manage shrinkage and minimize the potential for cracking in the finished concrete.

Site Restoration and Final Project Completion

After completion of the concrete pour and removal of all framework, the surrounding areas were restored by backfilling with topsoil and final grading. Grass seed was applied and protected with a straw blanket to promote germination, control erosion, and manage sediment while the new landscaping establishes. This final step ensures the property was left clean, safe, and fully restored.
