Location: East Rutherford, NJ Site Development Costs: $189MM Building Costs: $809MM Total Construction Cost: $998MM Date of construction contract: January 23, 2007 Estimated date of completion: April 10, 2010 Area: 1.9 million-square-foot Seating: 82,500 spectators, including 200+ luxury suites. Project Overview
Delivery pressure due to sports schedule Lack of large laydown yard means tight production coordination necessary Can’t store pre-cast onsite Pick from truck and place into structure Need to coordinate production schedule across entire supply chain Project Pain Points
Mobile Field Software – Vela Systems Strong platform of field software modules includes Materials Tracking with RFID ‘built in’ Works disconnected on Tablet PC Proven implementation and integrations track record Building Information Model – Tekla Structures Key capabilities for structural elements in design and production Powerful support for extended attributes and rules Tools and Selection
