Challenges: The biggest challenge was time. I was first made aware of the project in late November 2010. The project needed to designed and bid in days over the Thanksgiving holiday. The project did not get released until the January 3, 2011. The final designed needed reviewed by a third party and the final ballast designed need to be approved by the City all before erection could begin January 11, 2011 and the erection need to be completed in 10 days to leave time for the snow to be placed before practice could start January 25, 2011.

This Project was a Great Success for Safway Services , Murphy Productions the City of Denver.
