A destination mall containing shops, restaurants, an indoor ice rink, ski and snowboard slope, water park and amusement park, mini golf course and concert hall. American Dream is the first project in North America to combine shopping, entertainment and attractions on such a scale.
Walters Group supplied and erected all fabricated steel for the project, including customized pieces for the water park and other attractions.
Walters participated in the early design assist components, as part of our commitment to investing early on in extensive planning and to make the work go more smoothly.
The water park involved a massive arched roof. Normally all the electrical and ductwork would have to be hung using 150-foot lifts. With PCL, we devised a plan to partially assemble trusses in the assembly yard, allowing us to do electrical ductwork and other jobs on the ground.
Once the trusses were raised, only the connections needed be done in the air. This plan offered benefits across the project, saving time and keeping workers safer on the job.
