Tennis Stadium Update

November 10, 2010

Contributed by Walter Gassner, BMCTA

Finally, after all these weeks, we have resumed the construction of the tennis stadium.

During the past several weeks, we have designed, redesigned, and re-redesigned the trusses that are needed to hold up the stadium. They had to undergo rigorous engineering specifications, and finally they have been designed, manufactured, and delivered.

Then, the first snow of the season came.... BUT, this WILL GET DONE!!!

Attached are some of the pictures of the concrete foundations that were put in about 2 weeks ago, and the girders that were placed on them today, in preparation for the placing of the trusses. First picture shows girders and support beams installed, second pictures shows the trusses that have been delivered to support the planking on which the seats are installed, and third picture shows the seats, still boxed, but ready to be installed!

The fence has come down, and construction should go rapidly once the planking gets started.
