Parking Deck
Traditionally, parking structures have been designed to maximize space but have not been considered an architectural attraction. Today, the parking structure is designed to be pleasing to the eye and is a subtle addition to the surroundings. Shelco has a long history of constructing parking decks ranging from 170 spaces to 3,200 spaces using pre-cast and post tension materials.

“You see it’s not all about the place – it’s the people. People and companies like Shelco that are willing to step up when others said it could not be done and find success the old fashioned way – with know-how, commitment, and hard work. If you ever need a reference for your company on a future project, please don’t hesitate to use USCB. I’ve been doing this for about 20 years and I can’t say I’ve seen a better construction firm.”
