Gampel Roof Renovation

[HuskyAlum012]

For those of you not on twitter, the Gampel roof is finally being fixed. Saw somewhere that it should take about 1 month.

Can't 'like' that enough post enough. I am looking forward to seeing how they will utilize it. I suspect that they are going incorporate it more into the team intro, etc. In any event it will be nice to have the place not look like a dump on TV.

Did they end up deciding on going in from the outside and rewrapping each panel?

One month? I thought this was costing like millions of dollars? My kitchen remodel took longer.

Where did you see one month? I thought they were anticipating at least the whole summer.

Cheap, fast, and good? You can only have two out of three.

@JSM1970 rebid it. Non-union.

without any of the basketball banners hanging, it reminds me of the Conte Forum / Library

If so it would explain why it might get done on time.

Not that I'm opposed to this getting done (it was long overdue) but I hope this isn't the 'good news' we were told we should hear by mid-week.

You must have had custom-built cabinets. We are using IKEA roof tiles to replace the originals, hand-made by an Italian master whose name always escapes me.

Now that I am trying to find where I saw it... I was probably just day dreaming in the cube that it would only take a month. Can't find anything about how long it takes.

Flipped off 3 DOT work crews today, maybe my proudest moment

I honestly couldn't do their job or any Union one where you have to stop working for a portion so you don't tip the #s

I'm sure you had passed them already.

Actually, the Dome wil be completed sometime in mid-October. targeting Oct 20 or so. Fall sports (Volleyball, etc) & such have already been scheduled to play in the Greer Field House. It's a really complex issue having to remove the panels; some concern about panels going back in due to potential expansion/contraction if weather changes significantly from when a panel comes out & goes back in.... Let's hope for not too many hiccups..... And it's far more than $1mil.......

 

[Jaybird65]

There are only 3 such domes (exact to Gampel in design) in existence, Gampel, one in Texas & one in Tokyo. Once the panels start coming out, hopefully some of the BY will be able to take a look over the course of the work. Workers now are concentrating on setting up exterior access, rigging, required fall protection & all that neat stuff....

Anyone know who the general contractor is?

I'll find out tomorrow when I am there.

From a pic i saw it looks like they "dance floored" it with pipe scaffolding all the way up to the underside of the roof. Basically waist level at the edge. Probably a pyramid of scaffolding to get up to the top of the dome. Hopefully theyve got a lil production set up on the staging so they can be repaired right there on site and immediately reinstalled. Gotta be a metric s-ton of tiles up there.

Will do as much as possible from the inside. Panels are heavy; will likely have to be lowered be be unwrapped, repaired & rewrapped. The panels are actually pretty large individually when up near them

Thanks medic.

Appreciate the insight jaybird.

I enjoy the concept of construction when it doesnt directly involve me.

Jaybird appearently

Patoni, I think. Pretty clear now that it wasn't a good idea to do something so unusual. Place should hold more like 14k too.

Fixed in a month? Can we hire them to fix our basketball program too?
