Micron Technology Sports Area Construction:
Barrier Building, Inc. teamed with Micron through a fast-paced Design-Build approach to provide a post-tensioned tennis court, re-habilitated an existing basketball court with updated professional hoops and relocated the sand volleyball court.
Post-tensioned concrete is a construction technique that involves tensioning high-strength steel tendons after the concrete has been cast. This method is commonly used in various structures, including tennis court construction. Post-stressed concrete tennis court construction provides for:
Design Flexibility:
Post-tensioning allows for greater design flexibility in terms of layout and span lengths. Tennis courts can be designed with longer spans and fewer joints, providing a smoother playing surface.
Durability:
Post-tensioned concrete structures are known for their durability and resistance to cracking. This is particularly important for tennis courts, where the playing surface must be even and free of cracks to ensure a fair and safe game.
Reduced Maintenance:
The reduced likelihood of cracking in post-tensioned concrete results in lower maintenance requirements for tennis courts. This is beneficial for both facility owners and players, as it minimizes downtime and repair costs.
Construction Speed:
Post-tensioning can expedite the construction process. The ability to stress tendons after the concrete has set allows for faster formwork removal, enabling quicker progression to subsequent construction stages.
Economical Use of Materials:
Post-tensioning optimizes the use of materials by allowing for thinner concrete sections while maintaining structural integrity. This can result in cost savings without compromising the strength and performance of the tennis court.
Crack Control:
Post-tensioned concrete actively resists cracking, as the tendons are stressed to counteract tensile forces. This is crucial in tennis court construction, where a smooth, crack-free surface is essential for optimal gameplay.
Longevity:
The durability and crack-resistant nature of post-tensioned concrete contribute to the longevity of tennis court structures. This is a significant advantage for facilities looking for a long-term investment in their sports infrastructure.
Customization and Performance:
Post-tensioning allows for customization of the playing surface, ensuring that it meets specific performance requirements. The tensioning process can be adjusted to achieve the desired level of rigidity and resilience for optimal ball bounce and player experience.
Sustainability:
Post-tensioned concrete can contribute to sustainability goals by reducing the amount of concrete needed and, consequently, the carbon footprint associated with production and transportation of materials.
Professional Expertise:
Construction using post-tensioned concrete requires specialized knowledge and expertise. Engaging professionals with experience in this construction technique is crucial to ensuring the successful and safe completion of tennis court projects.
Burst Biologics Lab Expansion
Ann Morrison Dog Island
A well-designed dog park can enhance the overall quality of life in a city by promoting the physical and mental well-being of dogs and their owners, fostering community connections, and contributing to the attractiveness and vibrancy of public spaces. By encouraging dogs to play in designated areas this helps reduce the likelihood of conflicts between dogs and people or other animals in non-designated spaces, promoting safety for the entire community.
Barrier Building, Inc. was awarded this project and jumped at the opportunity to assist the community in developing a dog friendly “Island” within the confines of Ann Morrison Park. The project included dewatering, installation of a new outlet structure and pipe, fencing, concrete access ramps, park shelters and other amenities.
Idaho Fish and Game - Redfish Lake Creek collection facility, Stanley Idaho
Working remotely below the magnificent Sawtooth Mountains and within a stones throw from the shore of beautiful Redfish Lake near Stanley Idaho was difficult but well worth it. Barrier Building, Inc. teamed up with Idaho Fish and Game and General Contractor McMillen Jacobs Associates to construct the laboratory and dormitory building for the Redfish Lake Creek collection facility.
The salmon spawning at Redfish Lake in Stanley, Idaho, is a remarkable natural phenomenon that showcases the incredible journey of salmon and their determination to complete their life cycle. Redfish Lake is known for its annual salmon run, specifically the Sockeye Salmon, a species of salmon that undertakes an extraordinary migration. After hatching in Redfish Lake, juvenile sockeye salmon make their way downstream to the Pacific Ocean. They spend several years in the ocean, growing and maturing, before returning to their home stream to spawn. Sockeye travel the furthest of all Idaho salmon, swimming more than 900 miles and climbing more than 6,500 feet in elevation to their home waters in the Sawtooth Valley.
Redfish Lake has been the focus of various conservation efforts to protect and enhance the salmon population. These efforts include habitat restoration, dam modifications, and initiatives to increase awareness about the importance of maintaining healthy salmon populations.
To say the least - Barrier Building, Inc was and is proud of being a major contributor to this project and the conservation efforts of the Sockeye Salmon.
