Academy Sports Update


 
The Academy Sports + Outdoors Distribution Center Expansion is well underway.  This is a 500,000 square foot expansion to an existing 1Million square foot facility.  The tilt panels are standing, the decking is nearing completion, and the site is in great shape.  We have about 15 men on site this week.  The kitchen addition to the existing lunch room will be completed at the end of this month.  To cut cost we are trying out some air actuated fasteners as opposed to the traditional powdered actuated tools on this project.  Here is a link that has the Hilti GX 120 on it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOH-A4tmjH4 .  We have also selected to use WireBarrel’s for the small branch circuits to save on installation time.  Here is a link that has the barrel use in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZFnU8NrTBo&feature=relmfu

We are very excited to get to use both of these techniques on this project.
