Fabrication by modeling
This project, big in scale and stature, is 1,325,000 square feet standing 7 stories made up of cast-in-place concrete, composite steel framing, composite metal deck, and a prestressed-precast seating bowl. It has long-span cantilevered tiered seating with upper levels that cantilever 50’ beyond the support columns for the main seating level. The re-interpretation of the signature Yankee frieze at the canopy is 1465 feet long. Tekla Structures was used by the design team to develop a model for use by the fabricator. Full BIM processing was done using NavisWorks and included models from the architect, engineer, mechanical and erection contractors. There were a total of 12,000 tons of structural steel and 45,000 cubic yards of concrete used to construct this project. The structure took 18 months to design and 32 months for the construction.
BIM was instrumental in early discovery of construction
