These two projects showcase how retaining walls provide storm water solutions. Also included in the award is the 6,000 sq. ft., gravity wall at the Lake Fork Water Pump Station in Alba, Texas. The wall stands 33 ft. tall and is almost completely submerged, creating a durable and aesthetically pleasing facet to the pump station.
