We also used BIM in the construction phase, coordinating the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection trades. Due to the challenging nature of the location and our customer centric philosophy, we utilized BIM to assist in the design of the shoring and foundation systems, development of subcontract work scope packages, and locating, identifying and coordinating existing and new site utilities. The entire development had to be constructed to grades established above the slope of the steep hillside and required complex shoring systems that varied across the site.
The scope of work included extensive site development and revisions to the existing casino structure, as well as expanding the existing structure for the construction of a new non-smoking casino. It stands at seven stories above-grade and two stories below-grade with 96 deluxe rooms and 12 luxury suites, a full service kitchen, and laundry service. The hotel structure consists of reinforced concrete and post-tensioned decks, EIFS skin with glazing and adhered stone. Swinerton provided preconstruction and construction services for a new luxury hotel, pool, and meeting facility.
