The project is operated by a wireless control system. LMS was integral to this project, which consisted of an integrated building automation system that facilitates the control of all the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
The stadium project is expected to generate an economic benefit of $620 million annually while creating 6,000 permanent jobs in Southern Nevada.Ĭonstruction of the stadium began in 2018 and completed in fall of 2020. The technologically-advanced stadium hosts world-class entertainment, including concerts and sporting events such as the Pac-12 Championship Game and Las Vegas Bowl, as well as University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Football. The Raiders and local officials continue planning for the 1.8-billion stadium project. When it opens for the relocating Oakland Raiders in 2020, the new Las Vegas Stadium could come with some unique design features. By Zach Spedden on Main Las Vegas, NFL, Oakland Raiders. Allegiant Stadium is fully enclosed and climate-controlled with a capacity of 65,000. Unique Design Features Slated for New Las Vegas Stadium. +/- 3 lbs.Located adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip, Allegiant Stadium is a global events destination, highlighted by the arrival of the NFL’s iconic Las Vegas Raiders.
Structural lightweight concrete meeting performance design criteria / ASTM C-330 specification requirements.The Allegiant Stadium is slated to be completed for the 2020 NFL football season. Proper aggregate saturation, stockpile management, and sound quality control procedures are essential to minimize pumping concerns and to insure the structural lightweight concrete mix adhered to the stringent concrete specifications on such a high-profile project,” said Utelite’s Darren Medeiros. of 6,000 PSI 28-day structural lightweight concrete on this project with minimal concrete issues on the project. “It’s been a total team approach between Utelite, the concrete producer, and the pump company to successfully pour nearly 20,000 cu. Structural lightweight concrete made with rotary-kiln produced expanded shale lightweight aggregates is typically 25% to 35% lighter than normal concrete and provides significant greater economy when systems are designed with equal fire resistance ratings. In addition, the joint venture team was also very open-minded and supportive of utilizing structural lightweight concrete to reduce the overall seismic loads of the structure as well as offering a UL 2-hour fire rating.Īll factors considered, structural lightweight concrete was the clear choice. Innovative design flexibility, improved seismic structural response, superior performance, greater economy and structural lightweight concrete was the solution. Utelite Corporation is playing a key role in assisting with technical support and supplying high quality expanded shale lightweight aggregate material meeting the requirements of ASTM C330 for the stadium’s precast elements along with metal decking cast-in-place structural lightweight concrete.Īccording to the design engineers, the use of structural lightweight concrete was considered and specified early in the design process as the boundaries were pushed of what design and engineering could achieve on this ultra-modern state-of-the-art stadium. The Stadium will also serve as the site of the Las Vegas Bowl as well as the Pac-12 Football Championship and other high-profile events beginning in 2020. In November 2017, ground breaking begun on a 62-acre plot of land just west of the Las Vegas Strip to make way for a $2.3 billion, 1.75 million-square-foot, 65,000-seat (expandable to 72,000), ultra-modern domed stadium for the Raiders NFL Football Team.
