tilizing “green” concrete is one of Shaw & Sons capabilities. At the
Toyota Motor Corporation facility in Torrance, CA, Shaw & Sons’
workmen safely re-sized existing cast-in-place wall panels to retrofit them into place at the new Alternative Fuel Vehicle facility. The
retrofitting saved Toyota thousands of dollars in construction costs and recycled
concrete that would have otherwise been wasted. With Shaw & Sons more than
56 years of experience, the company’s extensive resource of knowledge and
expertise helps simplify complicated projects such as this retrofit.
