Stadiums and arenas are massive facilities that can present an infinite amount of complex challenges.
Whether they serve as venues for sports teams, musical entertainment or other functions, timing and reliability are critical to the owners and operators of these structures. Sports seasons must start on time. Massive crowds of people must be able to safely enjoy themselves. The stakes are high, and CTLGroup is the firm to trust to successfully get the job done.
CTLGroup has conducted work on stadiums and arenas all over the country, from historic ballparks to brand new stadiums on the brink of opening to the public.
CTLGroup was engaged to conduct condition assessments at Chicago’s Wrigley Field to address safety concerns. The firm’s quick and thorough investigation quelled the city’s concerns about safety, and helped prevent an unwarranted interruption in the use of the stadium.
At Qwest Field in Seattle, CTLGroup designed, custom-built and installed sensors in the stadium’s retractable roof. These sensors measure the post-tensioning forces holding up the roof. They were used to verify these forces during construction, and now are used to monitor structural integrity.
CTLGroup also facilitated the rehabilitation of Michigan State University’s Spartan Stadium by providing visual condition assessment, nondestructive field testing, laboratory testing, structural analysis, structural strength evaluation and by designing structural repairs.
Other venues CTLGroup has worked on include:
- Soldier Field
- Ryan Field
- U.S. Naval Academy Stadium
- CMU Stadium
- Lane Stadium
- Arrowhead Stadium
- Franklin Quest Stadium
- The Kingdome
- Beaver Stadium
- Rich Stadium
- Notre Dame Stadium
- Ross-Ade Stadium
