US-54 Kellogg/Woodlawn Interchange
- Location. Wichita, Kansas.
- Form Liner Type. Custom
- Year of Completion. 2010
- Project Impact. The project included four cast-in-place retaining walls of variable lengths, ranging from 5,700 - 14,294 square feet.
- Features & Design Context. The patterns spanning the retaining walls of the Kellogg/Woodlawn Interchange emulate Kansas’ vast agricultural landscapes, as seen from a birds-eye perspective. The strong geometrical patterns capture the sun’s movement throughout the course of a day, providing visual interest for the commuters driving along the busy interstate.
- Techniques & Requirements.
- A high level of details is achieved on each panel, while maintaining a specified maximum two-inch relief.
- All of the form liners were fabricated using high-quality elastomeric/urethane rubber with the ability to withstand over fifty uses.
- Each form liner had to be held to a close dimensional tolerance to be able to align with its matching panel. The panel arrays were designed as a modular system arranged to form a unique pattern.
- Each custom-designed form liner was hand-sculpted to the project’s exact specifications.
- Stakeholders. Kansas Department of Transportation, City of Wichita
