Ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Fenwick Iribarren Architects combined repurposed shipping containers and steel to build the 40,000-seat venue Stadium 974. The stadium was designed to be dismantled and reassembled in new locations for varying purposes. This building approach reduced construction costs, time to build, material waste, and water use by almost 40%. There are many positive use cases for shipping containers and we expect to see numerous applications as building and material costs become increasingly prohibitive to new development.

Here we go again. Having done a few sports complexes over the last few years, figured why not do it again. KPI Engineering, Inc. is excited about this project and humbled to be able to be a part of such an impact on the town of City of Odessa, Texas! Glad to hear the excitement from City officials and others as the project continues to get underway. Also, looking forward to the impact sports tourism dollars will have on the area. The partnership with PAUL STRESING ASSOCIATES, INC. and RADDSports has already produced successful ventures for the complexes and municipalities we've worked with before. While the design and construction team which also includes Construction Manager Scherer Construction may not be directly involved in the operation of the complex, the team understands a successful implementation of the project is of prime importance and that includes its design, collaboration with selected contractors during construction, and final close out.

🔨 In 2019, a facility consisting of two pre-engineered metal buildings was completed in Irvine, Calif. One section is home to an Olympic-size rink and two #NHL rinks, while the other features an NHL rink with a 2,500-seating capacity. 🚧 To ensure this behemoth was structurally sound (because, earthquakes) a steel buckling restrained brace system was installed. The braces are comprised of #steel tubes with a concrete-encased bar inside. ☃ Because of all the ice, the building must maintain a temperature of 55 degrees (in SoCal). Fortunately, the design is similar to that of a cold storage facility. 🏟 Great Park Ice & FivePoint Arena is the largest ice facility in California. Coming in at an astonishing 280,000 SF, it is also one of the largest in the U.S. 🏗 Thanks to Nucor Building Systems' pre-engineered metal buildings and insulated metal wall panels, nobody is skating on thin ice. 😆 🦆 I also heard it's the official practice facility for the Anaheim Ducks. #themoreyouknow 🌈 🌟 #hockey #womanofsteel

The results are in! 💪 When compared to popular methods of stadium and arena construction, NOTHING compares to SPS. If you’re looking for a cost-effective, green alternative to aluminium and concrete, that will keep fans safe and also provide an incredible spectator experience, get in touch with an SPS expert today.

🔧 Fully Rebuilt: 1900s Wooden Bowling Arm Bowled Victor Trumper! 🏏 Engineers at Cambridge have successfully reconstructed one of the world’s oldest known bowling machines, which famously bowled out legendary Australian batsman Victor Trumper. Dr. John Venn, the inventor of the Venn Diagram, created this engineering contraption. 🔍 Key Insights: 1️⃣ A Historical Masterpiece: Using patent illustrations and an old photograph found online, Cambridge engineers brought the 2-metre tall contraption back to life with materials available over 120 years ago. This remarkable reconstruction showcases the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the early 20th century. 2️⃣ Engineering and Innovation: Led by Professor Hugh Hunt, the project highlights the incredible creativity of Dr. John Venn. Known for his work on Venn Diagrams, Venn also invented this fascinating bowling machine using wood, string, and mathematical principles. 3️⃣ Authentic Recreation: The team meticulously crafted the machine to ensure historical accuracy, utilising high-quality hardwood and traditional woodworking techniques. The final product, capable of bowling at 33mph (53km/h), is a functional device and a historical relic. 🔗 Explore the full story of the reconstructed bowling machine and its historical significance: https://lnkd.in/grRvfVba 🗣️ #questionforgroup: How can historical reconstructions like this bowling machine inspire modern engineering and innovation? 💬 Join the conversation on the fascinating blend of history and technology that brings past innovations to life. #cricket #engineering #venndiagram #cambridge #innovation #woodcentral #sports #crickethistory #woodcentralau1
