Building the Riverfront: Architectural and Colored Concrete at the Audubon Governor Nicholls & Esplanade Wharf
Audubon Governor Nicholls & Esplanade Wharf
Along Louisiana’s historic riverfront, the Audubon Governor Nicholls & Esplanade Wharf project represents another milestone in the ongoing effort to revitalize and modernize key infrastructure. D. Honoré Construction was proud to contribute its concrete expertise to this important development, providing high-performance architectural and colored concrete, as well as precision-placed sidewalks and flatwork that enhance both durability and design.
This project called for more than just standard concrete placement—it required craftsmanship that balances structural integrity with aesthetic detail. Our team self-performed the placement and finishing of colored concrete to achieve a smooth, uniform appearance while ensuring consistency across large pours. Each surface was carefully measured and finished to meet exacting specifications, delivering long-lasting beauty and strength in one.
The use of architectural concrete played a vital role in bringing visual character to the space. From crisp edges and defined joint lines to polished surfaces, the attention to detail reflects our team’s commitment to precision. These elements not only improve the look of the public spaces but also withstand the heavy use and changing Louisiana weather that comes with waterfront construction.
Beyond the visual appeal, D. Honoré Construction ensured that each phase of work was executed with strict safety and quality standards. From pre-pour planning to finishing touches, every step was managed by experienced field professionals who understand how to balance speed, safety, and excellence on site.
Our work at the Audubon Governor Nicholls & Esplanade Wharf stands as a testament to what we do best—combining innovation and reliability in commercial concrete construction. Whether it’s architectural form, colored surface, or foundational structure, our projects reflect the expertise and pride our family-owned team brings to every job across Louisiana.
At D. Honoré Construction, we continue to help shape the built environment with concrete solutions that last—built on trust, precision, and performance.
