Pope High School Marietta Granite Rubble Retaining Wall

Fortress was contracted to build this difficult granite rubble retaining wall on the Pope High School renovation project in Marietta, GA.  95% of the granite rubble stone that was used to build this wall was recycled from older walls that were demolished to accommodate for the new gymnasium addition.  The reason for recycling the old stone was so that our masons could mimic the style of a large existing rubble wall that is right next to the new rubble wall to be constructed.  Upon completion we are proud to say that the wall looks nearly identical to the existing wall that is over 20 years old.  For this project Fortress provided the structural engineering for the wall as part of our scope.
