North Carolina State University Football Stadium

Raleigh, North Carolina

SKA conducted a condition assessment and evaluation of Carter-Finley Stadium over the span of two months, which revealed structural and durability issues related to the safety and extended service life of the structure. The structural and maintenance repairs were organized and quantified for projected repair costs before preparing the contract documents for the repairs. Due to the amount of repairs, the project was divided into three phases. The structural and safety repairs for this project included concrete repairs, along with the framing members, double tee girders, double tee infills, guard walls, vomitories, ramps, stairs, and concourses. Migrating corrosion inhibitor and sacrificial anodes were used to protect against future corrosion. A cementitous coating was applied to exposed walking surfaces. New rails were installed due to corrosion of existing rail posts. The maintenance and drainage repairs for this project included the installation of a new drainage system within the concourses and within the field to collect the water from the upper stands and lower stands, a new waterproofing deck coating system over the stands, and new sealants and expansion joints.
