For the new scoreboard at Thunderbowl Stadium in Pueblo, Colorado, Jesik provided a geotechnical site investigation to evaluate subsurface conditions and support the design of a reliable foundation system. The work included design-ready recommendations, drilled pier foundation parameters, and constructability considerations related to hard bedrock drilling.
Jesik also provided construction-phase support, including drilled pier observations and concrete testing. The team offered guidance for laterally loaded pier analysis and coordinated with the structural engineer on shear ring considerations related to swell pressure.
Athletic facility structures require dependable foundation performance, clear design criteria, and close coordination between engineering and construction teams. By identifying expansive near-surface soils and providing drilled pier parameters tied to shale bedrock, Jesik helped the project team move forward with greater confidence and reduced risk.
