Baton Rouge Airport
Granite Modular & Glass Water Wall
Because the 11’-6’’ tall water walls in front of the parking garage at Baton Rouge airport are subjected to strong winds, prestressed granite was ideal for attaining slender cross-sections of columns and beams despite the high loadings. The water walls were prefabricated and installed with lengths of 105’-11’’ and 79’-11’’ each.
