When building sports venues, precision is everything. Contractors must make sure every rise, angle and line is just so. The owners’ expectations are high, and the fans’ hopes are even higher. These are the places where records are set and history is made.
Construction firms, from the MVPs to the minor leaguers, are stepping up to the challenge, knowing that teamwork and tight schedules are the name of the game. For local firms, being part of constructing the home team’s venue is a major source of pride—and sometimes the business opportunity of a lifetime.
Making a Splash
JWR Construction, Deerfield Beach, Fla., built a state-of-the-art pool complex at Nova Southeastern University (NSU), Fort Lauderdale, Fla., knowing it might become the training grounds for America’s next great Olympian.
The complex, with a 50-meter pool and a diving well, serves the needs of NSU collegiate athletes as well as K–12 students at the private University School. It was ready in time for NSU’s first meet in September 2008.
“This is one of the few pools in the state that has moveable bulkheads, allowing the university to run three simultaneous events,” says William Gallo, executive vice president of JWR Construction. “This project is a key component of the school’s athletic program, and it’s generating a lot of buzz.”
Not only can the pool handle lap swimming, water polo and diving events at the same time, but it also is designed to conform with National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Olympic-level standards by including a stainless steel gutter system, dual-leg long-reach starting platforms and 4-inch anti-wave lane dividers.
The diving area includes two 1-meter diving boards and one 3-meter board, and the construction team will add 5-meter, 7½-meter and 10-meter diving platforms this summer.
The complex incorporates the most advanced pool features available. For example, the JWR team installed a hydraulic pressure system that complies with the 2007 Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, a bill that requires all U.S. public pools to be equipped with anti-entrapment and/or anti-suction devices. The pool automatically monitors chlorine and acid levels, and a sparger system allows divers to land on a cushion of air bubbles.
During construction, dewatering the jobsite became a major challenge. The crew needed to dig at least 11 feet below sea level to accommodate the pool depth, as well as install dewatering sock drains and pool mains—all in a location that has a consistently high water table. To keep the water from seeping in on all sides, JWR drove sheet piles 35 feet deep around the edge of the pool and installed double-header well points 20 feet below sea level.
Despite this preparation, water gushed in as the crews dug, requiring them to use two additional dewatering socks, three sump pumps and 270 tons of rock, which finally did the job.
“We dewatered nearly 16 feet of water, which is an enormous amount considering the types of soil we had,” says Jerry DuBoyd, president of JWR.
“We had two 60-horsepower pumps running 24-7 for three and a half months,” adds Mike Metzger, project manager. “It was everything we could do to keep the water out. It knocked us back three months, but we were able to get the project accelerated once we got the bottom of the pool poured.”
The foundation pour, completed in one day, required 35 trucks and approximately 300 cubic yards of concrete. “We had to complete the pour in only a couple of hours so we wouldn’t have a lot of cracks, using laser levels because the deck was so large,” Metzger says.
Precision was essential. Because water seeks its own level, any error in the tolerances would be noticeable to the naked eye. The slope in the trench drain had to be just so to prevent puddling, and the surveyor needed to measure the interior of the pool to ensure it was exactly the right size to meet NCAA standards.
“If someone sets a world record, you better bet they’ll have to come measure the pool afterward,” Metzger says.
Fan Favorites
At collegiate venues, the motivation to undergo a capital improvement project is almost always rooted in competition.
“Universities need to keep their athletic facilities up to date in order to meet television broadcast requirements and provide facilities with amenities similar to those being offered by other universities in their conference,” says Dave Jenkins, project executive for Clark Construction, Bethesda, Md.
“Quite simply, the need to upgrade and expand stadiums has been driven by competition among universities to better serve their alumni and corporate sponsors, and attract top athletes to their programs.”
Clark Construction is the general contractor for the University of Maryland football stadium project that triples the size of the Byrd Stadium Tyser Tower in College Park, Md. The expansion will add 66,000 square feet to the existing structure while the 33,000-square-foot tower is renovated.
The five-story tower will provide 64 luxury suites, a full-service kitchen, a press lounge, television and radio booths, and coach boxes. A brick and EIFS façade with punch windows and glass storefronts will allow unobstructed views of the field. In addition, the facility will have the cable infrastructure to support more frequent high-definition broadcasts and enhance the spectator experience.
Construction crews took the field for the expansion after the Terrapins’ final home football game in 2007. Clark and its subcontractors worked throughout the year, carefully avoiding interruption to the athletic schedule. After the 2008 season finished in late November, crews then demolished the existing structures and installed the structural steel and cast-in-place concrete for the two new structures that provide seating on either side of the existing tower.
Clark performed extensive pre-planning with the university and architect Heery International, Inc., Atlanta, to stay on schedule to finish the project this August.
“One of the greatest challenges has been to implement our plan to complete the entire facility in 21 months, which is one full year ahead of the initial schedule set by the university,” Jenkins says. “It has been much like a chess match, strategically planning each move along the way.”
Leasing of the new suites has been brisk, and Terps fans are geared up for the new venue.
“By all accounts, the project has gone extremely smoothly, and we are looking forward to the opening football game this year,” Jenkins says.
Tackling a Mega-JobIn the pros, the project scale is significantly larger. In a Texas-sized effort, Manhattan Construction is leading the construction of the Dallas Cowboys’ new $1 billion, 2.3 million-square-foot stadium. It will be the biggest stadium in the National Football League (NFL), seating 80,000 fans.
More than 80 subcontractors have mastered a complex playbook to keep the job on schedule for its May grand opening.
As part of that team, TDIndustries, Dallas, built the HVAC, mechanical and plumbing systems, and managed the insulation, temperature controls, storm drain and water treatment systems. It currently is wrapping up finishing touches like the grilles in the private suites and the remaining hookups for the bars and concession areas.
The owner’s expectations for quality contracting are as big as the project itself.
“This is the largest project, not only in size but also in contract value, that we have undertaken,” says David Youden, vice president of TDIndustries. “I would venture to say that due to the high level of finishes being put into the project, and the amount of time required to install them, the rough-in phase of the project has been a real push. The builders have been under pressure from the start so that sufficient time would be left at the end to complete the interior finishes.”
TDIndustries tackled the challenge, investing 500 manhours to research and plan the installation of the mega-sized ductwork that supplies air to the bowl seating area. The system, with components sized from 42 feet to 90 feet in diameter and weighing up to 800 pounds per joint, needed to be built 252 feet above the playing field.
“We were able to complete the task in just under eight months and achieve our budgeted goal,” Youden says.
The stadium features a retractable roof supported by 1,290-foot arches, making it the world’s longest single-span roof structure and largest domed structure. Two bi-parting mechanized roof panels driven by a rack-and-pinion system can open and close the roof panels in 12 minutes. In addition, each end zone features a five-leaf clear retractable door that provides panoramic views and air circulation.
The project, designed by architect HKS, Inc., Dallas, incorporates some of the most advanced sports viewing technology to date, with an 86-foot-tall canted glass curtainwall that glows blue and silver, and a 60-yard-long video center that hangs 110 feet above the field.
The Cowboys chose only the finest amenities for the club suites. Granite, leather, limestone, marble and crocodile finishes aim to cater to high-end clientele, who can choose among 200 suites ranging from 650 square feet to 800 square feet. Private bathrooms, perfect sightlines and ergonomic seating also enhance the game-day experience. The Hall of Fame level suites will be 21 rows from the field, making them the closest elevated suites in the NFL.
As all the team members can attest, the project has been a major job creator in a difficult economy.
“By having a project such as this, we have been able to keep our workforce busy and have been able to spread work opportunities throughout our organization,” Youden says. “If we had an area where folks didn’t have work, we were able to bring them on to the Cowboys project by moving tasks ahead of schedule. We believe this is one of the reasons we are in such a good position here at the project’s final stage.”
Fans will get their first glimpse of the field during a concert featuring country music star George Strait on June 6.
Teamwork: Like ‘Magic’
Large construction venues mean a large numbers of contracts, and that means more opportunities for small and emerging contractors.
The Dallas Cowboys and the city of Arlington, Texas, for example, set a goal to award 25 percent of construction, architectural and engineering contracts to minority- and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs).
Likewise, the construction team building the $480 million Orlando Events Center is exceeding the city’s goal to award 24 percent of contracts to MWBEs. To date, more than 100 MWBEs are under contract.
Turner Construction Company is the program manager of the sports-savvy building team, led by Hunt Construction, Orlando, Fla., and architecture firm HOK Sport, Kansas City, Mo.
As the construction manager and general contractor, Hunt Construction is partnering with local minority firms Rey Group, R.L. Burns, H.Z. Construction and Albu & Associates to build the 18,500-seat National Basketball Association (NBA) arena. Hunt also has funded a 12-week electrical training course for minority firms and has hosted workforce orientation sessions at a local high school.
The events center is part of a $1 billion public-private partnership to bring jobs and economic vitality to the city’s downtown, while adding space and amenities for the Orlando Magic basketball team.
The new 800,000-square-foot center will be twice the size of the Magic’s existing facility—and will boast 60 private suites, 68 loge boxes, a children’s zone, restaurants and bars, street-level retail, an 80-foot-tall lobby and a spacious balcony—making the center attractive for concerts and major events.
“There is a high emphasis on finishes and technology in this facility, more than typical NBA venues around the country,” says Stephen Laurila, Hunt project manager. Terrazzo, acrylic flooring, wood flooring and ceramic tile will appear throughout the facility. Televisions and digital displays will be prominent as well.
“From a technology standpoint, the Orlando Magic is introducing cutting-edge broadcast and audio-visual systems with the design currently being finalized,” Laurila says.
An outstanding design element of the center’s entryway will be a 120-foot beacon illuminated by more than 200 LED lights, providing a “media mesh” kinetic light display on the exterior façade. In addition, the project team is aiming for LEED certification.
Indeed, the project is a bright spot in Orlando’s otherwise challenging commercial construction marketplace. Plans and construction financing were secured before the collapse of the financial markets. “Because the funding was established, this project was just in time getting started. If funding was secured later, there could have been problems,” Laurila says.
Hunt and the construction team broke ground in August 2008, and the facility is scheduled to open in fall 2010.
A BIM Home RunIn another sunshine state, building information modeling (BIM) and design-assist methods helped the construction team complete a new baseball stadium just in time for spring training.
Construction manager at-risk Mortensen Construction led the $110 million project to build Arizona’s Camelback Ranch-Glendale, the largest spring training facility in the Grapefruit and Cactus leagues. The new home of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago White Sox was completed under an aggressive 16-month construction schedule.
Schuff Steel Company, Phoenix, erected 1,100 tons of steel to build the 10,000-seat stadium centerpiece, as well as seven main concourse buildings, a visitor locker room, three major/minor league team clubhouses, two observation tower platforms and a maintenance building.
Schuff Steel’s design-assist team implemented advanced BIM techniques to coordinate design so approvals and shop drawings outpaced construction documents. Three detailing crews also used BIM to support seven fabrication facilities, which supplied two concurrent erection teams at the jobsite.
“Some of the structures were completed in as little as six weeks following the completion of initial design information,” says Ryan Schuff, president and CEO of Schuff Steel. “Even the main stadium structure was completed in the field only six weeks after the design was completed.”
These time-saving techniques were essential to allow the team to concentrate on erecting the 350-ton steel skybox, which is elevated 14 feet above the main concourse behind home plate. The 34-foot-tall structure is comprised of a sloping 76-foot-long tube steel roof girder and supported by four columns angled in a “W” shape. Fifteen different roof girders are tied together by floor and roof wide-flange beams.
“This design created very few right angles, complex moment connections, many cantilever conditions and expansion joint conditions over stepped areas,” Schuff says.
But with experience on even larger jobs, the company stayed on task to complete the majority of its work in a nine-month time frame.
“Working closely with architect HKS, Inc. and Mortenson, we collaborated on design options and arrived at design alternatives that minimized tonnage and trimmed the construction schedule. Working in a design-assist capacity resulted in a faster, more cost-effective project,” Schuff says.
Spread across 150 acres, the Glendale campus includes 3,000 lawn seats, 15 practice fields, and natural elements such as a trail system and a man-made, fish-stocked lake that irrigates the playing fields. Any excess water is returned to the natural water table under the dry river bed of the Aqua Fria River west of the complex.
Also, the stadium is sunken 12 feet below grade to improve sightlines. Excess soil from the excavation was used to build a new access road into the ballpark, which will accommodate minor-league operations in the offseason.
“Building a facility for two teams is a growing trend,” Schuff says. “Financially, this allows for more shared costs and increased revenue because of more home games. It also benefits the teams by allowing easy accessibility to inter-squad practices without having to travel.”
While fewer sports projects are breaking ground this year, opportunities await contractors in the years ahead as investors begin to regain confidence in the market. The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies, for example, are actively looking at plans to build spring training facilities in the Phoenix area. And in March, Miami-Dade County approved construction of a new $640 million, 37,000-seat Florida Marlins stadium to be built at the site of the demolished Orange Bowl.
As economic stimulus funding encourages municipalities to invest in their communities to help create jobs, revenue and a loyal fan base, construction firms won’t have to wait on the sidelines much longer.
