Roof Delay Can Be Mitigated Says Watchdog
Of course, any project would like to hit every single milestone and deadline on time. As Las Vegas knows, having seen its share of massive construction projects, they never go perfectly or without challenges.
The roof delay is a very visible one which makes it much more sensational to the average observer, fan or Las Vegas resident, but it isn’t as big of a concern as you might think.
“Of the many possible situations and potential delays that a project of this size and complexity can experience, the cable-net delay is one that attracts attention because of its distinctiveness,” the GCDP report stated. “The experience of the contractor and its ability to adjust activities in reaction to the current situation leads us to believe that the cable-net delay can be mitigated, however, we will continue to closely observe and report our findings.”
In essence, the stadium construction watchdog is saying: this is getting a lot of attention but there aren’t major concerns it will, in anyway, set the project back or delay completion by August 31. That said, GCDP did say it will continue to monitor the situation carefully on behalf of the Board and taxpayers.
What about the rest of the stadium construction? Is it on schedule?
