Project Description

Client:   Stolworthy Farms
Location:   Shelley, ID
Year Completed:   2022

The Challenges

This customer wanted a complete update of a potato cellar that is also used for hay storage. We shaved the walls down by approx 4 feet on each side to prepare the building for shot-crete. Then, when the walls were finished, we took about 2 feet out of the floor. This project increased hay storage by 33%. During the project, we had to work against cave-ins, slough-offs, and poor stability.
