When constructing sound walls on roadway improvement projects, contractors must place and set concrete support pillars before adding flat sound wall panels between each pillar. Once the pillars are set into the ground, crews pour concrete around the structure to create a secure base. To allow the concrete to cure properly and keep the pillars upright, the contractor will place iron braces around the pillars to lock them down until the sound wall panels are ready to be installed. Shown here is a before-and-after shot of the contractor applying these iron braces to newly placed sound wall structures on the U.S. 98 widening project from Bayshore Road to Portside Drive in Walton County.
