Puyallup
Tribal Wall

This public art installation on the northbound I-5 Puyallup River Bridge is rooted in the story of skʷikʷ(ə)xʷic — The Little Silver Salmon — developed in close collaboration with the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. Spec Formliners worked with RECO (The Reinforced Earth Company) to translate Indigenous cultural heritage into a durable concrete canvas. Using CNC-machined custom urethane MSE liners, 33 uniquely designed pieces bring the story of the salmon and the tribe's connection to the river directly into the permanent infrastructure of one of the Pacific Northwest's most traveled corridors. Sales Executive Mike Castillo coordinated production and delivery throughout.

Silverdale Way
Improvements

This infrastructure upgrade in Silverdale, WA balanced function with aesthetics across a corridor that serves thousands of daily commuters in Kitsap County. Spec Formliners supplied 16 custom full-height urethane liners, providing a clean, high-performance architectural finish that elevates what could have been purely utilitarian infrastructure into a thoughtfully finished public corridor. The project demonstrates how well-specified formliners improve daily life at the community scale — durable, consistent, and visually considered from every angle on the road.
