\"Aluminum<\/a><\/p>\n

The city of Brookings, South Dakota and the fans of the South Dakota State University Jack Rabbits are in for a treat over the next year. After nearly 5 years of planning, design, and construction the newly minted Dana J. Dykehouse Stadium<\/a> is taking shape. Daley Construction is in its final stages of work at the brand new football stadium where our teams have spent the last 6 months overseeing steel erection of the sub-structure, staging of the aluminum bleacher seating, and installation of the decking, stairs, and fencing.<\/p>\n

South Dakota Weather<\/h4>\n

Our team has worked through rain, cold, ice, heat, and wind to bring our portion of this project to a close by the deadline. The project started when temperatures were dipping below freezing and as we finish temperatures are reaching well above 90 degrees! The weather was a major contributor to the overall challenges during this project given South Dakota\u2019s unique weather profile.<\/p>\n

Our People and Process<\/h4>\n

This project required significant amounts of labor with as many as 20 on-site just for our portion of the erection and installation. We also relied on several different pieces of heavy equipment and a unique set of specialty tools to keep progress moving at an acceptable pace.<\/p>\n

\"Football<\/a><\/p>\n

The Dana J Dykehouse Stadium is expected to be complete in the fall of 2016. Once complete, the state-of-the-art facility will move its seating capacity from the previous 11,000 to more than 19,000 in 2016. It will offer a significant improvement to amenities such as luxury suites, improved food\/beverage services, and an overall experience that will rival other elite stadiums in college sports.<\/p>\n
