we had 15-20 cranes, drill rigs and pump trucks on this 11-acre site at the same time. Just orchestrating that, safely, is a big effort.”


 Completion Schedule. An immovable completion schedule driven by events long booked for the venue means managing to key milestones and staying on track. “What makes Mortenson | Clark different is how we complete the job,” DeLong said. “It’s not just about getting the 95 percent done; it’s about finishing that last 5 percent and, at the end of the day, walking away with the punchlist done. We build that into our plan and schedule and communicate it to our subcontractors.”


 Safety: Maintaining the highest degree of safety is an overriding priority on this jobsite. From a detailed safety plan, to custom designed safety apps, to a full-time medic on site, the team has tackled safety on multiple fronts. Tat has created a safety culture that delivers real results. As of mid-July, nearly 2 million worker hours had been expended on the project with zero lost time incidents and a recordable rate below 1. (Industry average record- ables are mid 3’s.)


Technology Supports High- Performing Team


While 3D BIM for clash detection


is standard procedure on projects of this size and complexity, the Chase Center project team is leveraging technology as a true differentiator. 4D BIM modeling, drones, custom- designed apps and virtual reality mockups and reviews are just some of the tools used to improve productivity, quality, schedule, and safety. “We have pushed the envelope as


hard as we can on this job,” McLamb noted. “It is VD&C taken to a new level.” Chase Center’s 4D model is “an enhanced version” DeLong describes

as “a 4D model on energy drinks.” Subcontractors model every stud and every piece of conduit to avoid clashes in the field. Te model is also used as a communications tool with the owner and public, and to help manage subcontractors’ workflow. Te project teamed up with Stanford University on another


tech-related initiative, a pilot drone deployment. Twice a month, drones survey and take pictures of the jobsite to record work completed and check quality issues. Tat information is fed into the model and tied to the schedule of activities.
