Here are a few pictures from today:
PCL Construction was onsite.
Other work they did for Universal Orlando:
Shrek 4D
Shrek 4-D is a special attraction at a major Orlando theme park that includes a state of the art 3-D film and an added dimension of special effects.
Extensive renovations of the previously established building, both interior and exterior, were necessary in order to provide for the new theater, special effects and retail area of this latest attraction. Work was performed under a tight schedule and with the utmost precautions as the park remained in operation while work was performed with literally thousands of guests in close proximity at all times.
Universal Studios North Parking Complex - Phase I North Garage
Five levels, 9,000 car capacity 2,500,000 sf of parking surface, an animal kennel facility, 12-lane toll plaza, wardrobe facility, 8 elevators, 34 escalators, ½ mile of powerwalks, and the ability to accommodate 3,000 vehicles/hour.
Phase I of this project was a five-level parking garage with attached people-moving structures. The garage is a precast beam and girder structure with post-tensioned, poured-in-place decks. The attached structures are mainly structural steel which enclose escalators, elevators and power walks that transport park visitors to the theme park. The circular hub structure is a gathering place for the Phase I North and Phase II South parking structures. The main hub structure is an 1,800 cy post-tensioned elevated beam and slab structure that was placed in one 10-hour continuous pour.
Universal Studios Florida Parking Structure - Ph.II South Garage
Phase II of Universal's new parking structure, consists of a 6-level garage with an adjoining hub, in what will be the largest single-structure parking complex in the United States. The parking garage is connected to Phase I through the elevated hub (part of Phase I construction), which serves as a functional focal point, holding a 35,000 sf floor slab and containing more than 2,000 cubic yards of concrete, produced over a continuous pour of more than 8 hours.
I do not know to what extent PCL Construction is involved. They may just be doing the site work.
