Because the casino industry needs gaming facilities to be open for immediate business, all of Churchill Downs’ projects have relatively fast turnaround times. DCI coordinates across our offices to verify structural documents can be delivered early and if problems arise during construction, like when there was shortage of steel joists during construction of Turfway park, DCI works with the contractors to find solutions, such as built-up steel trusses to replace the joists in the buildings’ lateral systems.
I appreciate the collaboration process of what we do. There are so many different people in different disciplines—contractors, architects, developers, owners, engineers—that are taking a concept, an idea that is sketched-out, and turning it into a physical piece of the built environment.”
