Meeting the Challenge of the Difficult Job – Builder Constructor Winner: Turner
Construction Company for “Golden One Center” - Sacramento A team led by Turner Construction
company delivered a new state of the art, LEED Platinum Certified, 17,500-seat, multi-purpose sports and entertainment facility in busy downtown Sacramento in under 32 months, from start of design to construction completion – a substantial feat for the team that made Sacra- mento’s new Golden 1 Center a reality. Designed by AECOM, Golden 1
Center replaced an existing shopping mall in a highly congested part of Sacramento. Te multi-use enter- tainment and sports facility, home to the NBA’s Sacramento Kings, includes an attached practice/training facility and a Sports Medicine Center. Te massive project presented multiple challenges, starting with demolition of the existing Westfield Mall. Te western half of the mall, surrounding buildings and heavily used roadways had to remain in full operation throughout. Te project’s 23-month
construction schedule was a major driver behind many solutions throughout design and construction. Te schedule challenge intensified when crews encountered dewatering
Golden One Center
and foundation issues relating to the adjacent Sacramento River and was made worse by a major storm during construction. Te exterior skin installation was
another challenge, exacerbated by wide-ranging Sacramento tempera- tures. Turner’s solution incorporated 3D scanning and the BIM model to aid in accurate fabrication and instal- lation of the exterior glass and metal panels. Coordination of the mechanical
and electrical systems and the goal to achieve LEED Platinum also raised the bar. Golden 1 Center is said to be the most technologically advanced and sustainable arena in the world, and the first indoor arena to achieve the LEED Platinum designation. Also selected as finalists in this category
were: Clark Construction Group, LLC for “Los Angeles Federal Courthouse” – Los Angeles, and Hensel Phelps for “Mule Creek Infill Complex” – Ione
