Gibbs Project View

The Superdome Grand Staircase was a unique project consisting of demolition to a temporary staircase and new construction of a permanent “grand stair” area at the iconic Louisiana Superdome. The staircase is a cast-in-place, conventionally reinforced and post-tensioned concrete structure that also includes surrounding pedestrian areas, landings and connection to the existing plaza deck. Crews used unique construction techniques, achieved successful logistics coordination over an expansive 147,000-square-foot job site, and overcame challenging site conditions such as excessive heat and coordination with other active construction projects in the same area, all while meeting the aggressive completion deadline.
