Atlantic Yards Report: Arena construction monitor back with regular reports, says arena is on schedule

Atlantic Yards Report: Arena construction belatedly reports on defective Barclays Center bolts, pieces of facade





While problems with incorrect bolts and defects in the Barclays Center facade were raised by consultants in early September, Merritt & Harris, construction consultant for the arena bond trustee, has finally seen fit to mention them.

The consultant did not mention such problems in its 11/30/12 report. However, an article early this month in the New York Times focused on defective bolts, indicating 1700 bolts had been swapped in by December.

Now the Merritt & Harris Site Observation Report released yesterday, dated 1/16/13 and based on a visit on 11/29/12, finally included documents dated 9/5/12 regarding the defects. (More on the report's other conclusions.)

The sequence suggests that, had the problems not surfaced in the press, the construction monitor would not have reported those problems, either because it did not have the consultants' reports or it chose to ignore them.

While the bolt problem has been resolved, it is not clear that all the other problems with the facade have been resolved.
Awesome. :heh:

I don't like MSG renovations, it just means an excuse to double prices. And I liked that dingy cramped look. You were there for a REASON you know?

MSG Hallway brought to you by Adidas!
MSG Gate C Doors brought to you by ESPN!

you gotta check out the renovations that have been made over the last couple years - seats, suites, etc.

And it's not done yet. Final renovations will be done by November this year. Gonna be very :wow: with the skywalk joint & renovated main entrance.

the MSG concourse hallways are practically done, but what you see in the top pics are supposed to be done by this year's hockey opening night in October. :takedat:
