CloseA steel frame was chosen to allow construction of a complex geometric shape for The Star's Multi-Use Entertainmant Facility (MUEF). Hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel sections were selected primarily for guaranteed long-term corrosion performance (10 years with no maintenance) and resistance to handling damage during erection.
The Star site had a number of construction constraints, with limited laydown area and tight time schedule, as well as a need to maintain the uninterrupted around-the-clock trading operations of a casino entertainment complex .Use of HDG allowed steel sections - delivered to a planned schedule - to be lifted from truck to final position, addressed environmental concerns that would have come from on-site blast and paint or touch-up activities, minimized weather delays, and made a significant contribution to delivering the project on-time and within budget.
