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.

“I have had an extremely positive experience in all three of these major projects with Shelco and will continue to seek them out as future opportunities present themselves. They operate with a high level of integrity and trust which is so critical to us in a contractor relationship. They communicate well with the owner, architect and our employees who may be impacted by construction activity. From Shelco’s President to the on-site supervisor. I always felt I could access the appropriate level of management at any time. I highly recommend Shelco as a general contractor which should be obvious by our history of retaining them on successive projects and intent to continue the relationship in the future.”
