Caribbean Beach Resort - Lake Buena Vista
This project consisted of the complete demolition of an existing pool and the partial demolition of an existing themed fort structure to make room for a new and expanded pool, waterslide, and a water park feature for children to play on. The project also included a complete remodel and expansion of the existing pool bathhouse and a new pool equipment building. This resort at Walt Disney World Lake Buena Vista was made to replicate an Old Spanish Fort that existed in the Caribbean Islands during the early 1800’s. The reconstruction of these updated facilities included building everything to replicate the antique Caribbean Fort. Edwards Concrete’s scope of work included providing a new 22,000sf stamped pool deck that looked like coral stone with integral color and a mat of steel. We also provided sidewalks, planter curbs, footings and slabs for the Fort and pool bathhouse, a circular concrete staircase that supports the waterslide, and light pole bases. Additionally we provided the labor and pumps to lay the pool bottoms for the swimming pool contractor. In the construction of this project, we used 807cubic yards of concrete, 34 tons of rebar, over5,000 board feet of lumber, and 6,410 person-hours.
This project won The Eagle Award, 2009 with Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Central Florida Chapter.
