New Building
Completion Date: 2010

Overview

Prakash Consulting was retained in 2008 as part of the consulting team for the design of a new indoor sports facility. The project included a full-size soccer pitch, suspended running track, spectator seating, viewing areas, gymnasium, and fitness rooms.

The facility was delivered using a Construction Management approach in collaboration with RNF Ventures and was successfully completed in 2010.

Design Approach

Material selection and long-term durability were key considerations in the structural design of this facility. The large clear-span superstructure was achieved using pre-engineered framing systems to maximize open interior spaces.

The main floor consisted of a concrete slab-on-grade foundation system, while the second floor utilized a combination of precast hollow-core slabs and structural steel framing to achieve wide open spans.

The suspended running track was constructed using structural steel decking with cast-in-place concrete. Load-bearing concrete masonry block walls served as the primary structural system throughout the building.

The roof structure incorporated a combination of steel joists and clear-span framing systems to support the expansive indoor sports areas efficiently and economically.
