Project Description:
This 650,000 square foot parking structure was part of a larger overall casino expansion that also included a new main casino area and a six level hotel. This project was completed within 7 months.
The structure consists of one level on grade parking and 4 suspended levels, each level is 130,00+ square feet. Each floor was separated into 10 pour areas of approximately 13,000 square feet each. Once the project was fully underway a pour was made every other day to accomplish the desired end date. 80,000 square feet of McClone Construction built I-Joist tables were necessary to accommodate the aggressive schedule.
The vertical element consisted of 24” and 42” moment frame columns at most of the perimeter and 24” x 24” columns were used typically at the interior.
Upturn moment frame beams were used to provide the necessary shear elements on the project. The exterior face of the beams included an elaborately architectural recessed pattern. Due to the 1 ½” deep architectural pattern chosen for the project the forms were custom and built by McClone Construction.
Spiral helix ramps were also constructed on this project. Spoke beams spiraling out from a round hollow core column supported the helix drive ramps.
