Post-disaster situation in Buffalo: The town is in mourning, because, this year again, the Bills did not make it to the Superbowl. On the positive side, for those who like steel construction, they are getting a new stadium. Latest information on construction of this steel structure is here: https://lnkd.in/eKP2dsAn   Note: The new stadium will NOT have a roof. Considering the latest cost estimate of $2.1 billion (https://lnkd.in/eNfKQPBq), and comparing this cost to that of other recent NFL stadiums that have a roof, it is a bit puzzling. Of course, shoveling snow is relatively cheaper.   For comparison: Las Vegas: 2020, with roof. US$1.9 billion ($2.24 billion in 2023 dollars Los Angeles: 2020, with roof. $5–6 billion ($5.89 billion-7.06 billion in 2023 dollars) Atlanta: 2017, with a retractable roof, US$1.6 billion $1.99 billion in 2023 dollars) Minneapolis: 2016, with a roof, $1.061 billion ($1.35 billion in 2023 dollars) Dallas: 2009, with retractable roof, $1.3 billion, $1.85 billion in 2023 dollars) Indianapolis: 2008, with retractable roof, US$720 million ($1 billion in 2023 dollars) Arizona: 2006, with retractable roof, $455 million, ($688 million in 2023 dollars)   Source: Wikipidia #steel #steelstructure #steelconstruction #structuralengineering #stadium #footballstadium #longspanroof #roof #retractableroof #engineering #structuralengineers #design #steeldesign

Legacy Project: Richmond Olympic Oval, 2008. It’s not every day you work on a project the whole world is watching, but that was the case with the Richmond Olympic Oval. Glotman Simpson was challenged to devise a solution that would stabilize the notoriously unstable soil to maintain a perfectly level ice surface for Olympic speed skating events. While nearby buildings were known to settle by as much as 200 mm, the Richmond Olympic Oval could not vary by more than 3 mm over any 3,000 mm span, nor more than 20 mm across its entire length—a distance four times the length of a football field. To meet these stringent standards, we designed a large basement structure on a six-acre concrete foundation raft, which eliminated the need for costly, deep foundations. Custom-fabricated hollow core panels, deeper than typical, formed the ice surface floor, meeting the tight deflection targets with a level of certainty that a typical cast-in-place floor slab could not provide. It’s projects like this that remind us why we’re proud to be engineers. At Glotman Simpson, solving intricate problems is what we’re passionate about—it's what makes our profession challenging and exciting. #GS60 #StructuralEngineering #StructuralDesign #MassTimber #Steel #StructuralEngineers #AdaptiveReuse
