7,200 cubic yards of concrete, 300 tons of rebar and 37,000 man hours. Cleveland Cement teamed up with Thomarios to provide the design / build services for the 650 car South Campus Parking Garage at Cleveland State University. This cast in place long span post tensioned garage is the first LEED certified parking garage in North America, impressive given the nature of the project.
When the Richmond International Airport wanted to add parking, they needed to look no further than the team of Cleveland Cement and Donley’s. The scope of the work included the construction of a new 800,000 sf 4 story parking garage. This project proceeded flawlessly and opened on schedule in the winter of 2009.
Challenges:
- Sequencing a 2,600 car garage with a 5 acre foot print and having the project substantially complete in 11 months from foundation to top out
- Building next to an active existing parking structure and active airport
- Sequencing 22 pours per level for a total of 66 total elevated deck pours
11,500 cubic yards of concrete, 700 tons of rebar and 17,050 man hours. Cleveland Cement joined forces with Ruhlin Construction to provide the new 1,000 space parking garage for Summa Healthcare in Akron, Ohio. Cleveland Cement was tasked with carefully constructing the cast in place long span garage on a tight urban site while not disturbing the adjacent hospital operations. Careful planning proved critical in delivering this project on time.
Cleveland Cement was selected by the City of Cleveland Heights to construct a new parking facility on an existing municipal lot, netting an additional 170 spaces for the city. Cleveland Cement acting as the “turn key” contractor for the city delivered the facility on time and within budget.
The East Campus Garage presented Cleveland Cement with a very difficult urban site. A freeway to the East, an existing student athletic complex to the West, an iconic historical campus building to the South, and a busy city street to the North dictated an unconventional approach to constructing this 380 car garage. Working closely with the general contractor, Thomarios, CCC developed a sequencing plan that allowed the project to proceed seamlessly, allowing this high quality garage to be completed on time.
The Case Western Reserve Dorm Project encompassed two contracts for Cleveland Cement Contractors. The first was the construction of several new, cast in place concrete dormitory buildings that we worked in conjunction with Donley’s Inc. Given an extremely aggressive schedule that dictated that work take place in all buildings simultaneously, the decision was made to partner with Donley’s to ensure that the manpower and equipment needs of the project could be met. Cleveland Cement took three buildings, Donley’s took three and Higley was awarded the remaining building under a separate contract. While the dorms were being constructed, Case awarded Cleveland Cement the contract to build the 1,050 car cast in place post tensioned parking garage and grand stands. The challenge for Cleveland Cement on this project was to effectively communicate and coordinate the needs of several different structures, each having individual schedules, while working with two separate general contractors. The landmark buildings opened on time in the fall of 2005.
The High-Market Garage was awarded to Cleveland Cement as the result of a design-build competition. Cleveland Cement teamed up with Thomarios as the general contractor and Ebersole, Ltd. as the design engineer to produce a high quality, durable garage demanded by the owner. Our group was not the low bidder, in fact we were third. The owner decided to award the project to our team because of the quality of our bid, the understanding and resolution of site problems, and our reputation for quality construction. The High-Market project was awarded the Akron AIA design award in 2006.
The Progressive Insurance campus in Mayfield Heights presented several challenges for Cleveland Cement. Our scope of work included not only footings, foundations, and floors for the myriad of campus buildings, but the design and construction of three multi-level, long span, post tensioned beam and slab garages. Working closely with the owner, the architect, Bialosky Partners, and the construction manager, Whiting Turner, we were able to complete the multiple phase construction in a timely fashion over the course of several years while maintaining the same high quality standards throughout. This project was awarded the Cleveland Builders Exchange Craftsmanship Award for cast in place structures in 2005.

The difficulty in cast in place concrete stairs is to keep the riser even, the treads precisely spaced and the edges to be exactly parallel with each other. This is difficult and required a great deal of skill on a traditional set of stairs, but the difficulty is compounded when that set of stairs forms a corner. The stairs at Pinecrest are a prime example of what happens when expert carpentry meets expert concrete placement. The result is an architectural showpiece.
