Jet Blue Park

This facility is to serve the general area and as Spring Training Facility for the Boston Red Sox. The location and local weather required a strong protection against corrosiveness. Thus galvanized coating with over-coat of paint provides a synergistic system for long life and little maintenance.

This project called for very complex fabrication, hot dip galvanizing and a very tough application of a duplex system. The fabricator, galvanizer, and painter had to work in a cooperative and timely manner to complete the construction on time for the Boston Red Sox spring training start. The supporting roof structure had to be erected in a safe and timely manner thus allowing completion of the fan areas to be accessed and to provide protection for the fans from the warm Florida weather once spring training practices and games started.
