What was at stake.
The championship meet was booked before construction began. Pool shell curing, filling, water chemistry and timing system certification take weeks that cannot be compressed. The roof structure over the pool had to be complete before any of it could start.
How we controlled it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers did on this project.
Backward from the meet
We scheduled backward from the meet through certification, water balancing, filling and shell cure.
Roof on the path
Long-span roof steel was tracked from mill order to erection, with float to the pool fill date.
Humidity control
Dehumidification startup was scheduled before interior finishes to protect the building from moisture damage.
Biweekly updates
Updates every two weeks reported float to the meet date and the risks against it.
The result.
Water takes the time it takes. The schedule just has to start filling early enough.
