SSR and our design-assist partners utilized common BIM models for the development of the project. This integrated approach even extended to the production of the permit drawings and construction BIM. This integrated approach allowed for collaboration to maintain project schedule and actively maintain cost certainty related to mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems. To meet these challenges, SSR teamed with qualified and talented mechanical and electrical subcontractors for an integrated design-assist delivery. Committed to being in Las Vegas in 2020, the two main challenges on the project were the aggressive design and construction schedule and the project budget. After many years of calling Oakland home, the Raiders relocated to Las Vegas ahead of the 2020 season, and we were honored to play an important role in the creation of their new home. Wood noted that the LSAM printer was not developed for producing structures yet, Dimensional Innovations was the first company to apply the tool to build a finished architectural structure.Ĭlick here to read about other innovative projects from Dimensional Innovations.SSR partnered with HNTB, Manica, and Mortenson McCarthy Joint Venture (MMcJV) in the development of a new state-of-the-art stadium for the Las Vegas Raiders NFL franchise. The reflective surface of the torch contains 1,148 robotically-painted panels made from more than 35,000 pounds of raw aluminum.ĭimensional Innovations used a Large Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM) 3D printer and a five-axis router for the massive project. The torch weighs more than 100,000 pounds and is constructed of 225 3D-printed blocks made of carbon fiber-reinforced polycarbonate composite, according to the company. “Ours is a real production object for a client, so we’re really proud of that.”Ĭlick here to read about Dimensional Innovations’ 2019 bid to 3D print the Notre Dame spire after it was destroyed by fire. “A lot of the large-scale, 3D-printed structures that previously held the record were test cases people trying stuff out to see if it would work,” Wood said. Along with that team, Wood noted a larger Kansas City effort within the project.
Over the past year, a core team of 18 Dimensional Innovations employees spent about 50,000 hours developing, creating and - after shipping its components to Las Vegas - installing the structure. “And we’re proud to have played a part in that.” Davis for years to come,” Tucker Trotter, CEO of Dimensional Innovations, said in a press release. “The enormity of the torch, both physically and ideologically, will carry on the memory of Mr.
The team kicked off its first season in Las Vegas in 2020 after relocating from Los Angeles. The torch - displayed as the focal point of the new Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas - was created to commemorate Al Davis, the late, long-time franchise owner of the Raiders. “It took a few minutes to realize that we pulled it off. “It was surreal seeing it on TV,” said Brandon Wood, Innovation Lab manager for Dimensional Innovations, noting the project was three years in the making.
