The Round Rock Independent School District was established in 1913, but the student population grew slowly for several decades. In 1930, there were only 214 students, increasing to 654 in 1950. Enrollment did not exceed 1,000 until 1960. Today, the Round Rock ISD serves more than 50,000 students and encompasses 55 campuses. One of these campuses is the Hernandez Middle School. Built in 1996 and originally named the Hopewell Middle School, the school was renamed in 2009 in honor of Robert Hernandez, the only casualty of the Vietnam War from Round Rock. We have performed work for the school district in the past, so when paving services were needed at the Hernandez Middle School, we were asked to submit a quote. Our quote was accepted, and we completed the project in March 2020.

What Was the Paving Issue at the School?
Sections of the concrete sidewalks and paths had experienced vertical displacement. The uplifted sections posed tripping hazards, creating safety concerns for staff members and students.
What Work Did Alpha Perform at the Hernandez Middle School?
We removed and replaced 11 sections of concrete that totaled almost 2,100 square feet. The process began with saw cutting and demolishing the damaged sections. We removed the debris, performed the excavations, and prepared the subgrade. We then set the form boards, installed rebar, and poured 3,000 psi concrete. The surface was textured to match the broomed finish on the surrounding concrete.
