Relocation of Okie Blanchard Sports Complex
Cheyenne, Wyoming

Cheyenne East High School, Cheyenne, Wyoming News Letter July  2014 The contractor has been in high gear out at the Okie Blanchard Sports Complex Relocation project. With the fall football season fast approaching, there is no time that can be wasted for the project completion to be attained. Throughout the month, the building saw the last few exterior walls erected, steel beams and joists installed, and sheet metal roofing applied on the east and west second floor restroom. Steel application commenced in the center of the building as work picked up on the mechanical mezzanine above the concessions area. The bleacher contractor was able to install all of the metal sheeting and seats on the home and visitor bleachers as well as the press box. Track preparation continued throughout the month, but was hindered with multiple rainstorms saturating the sub grade. The Service Drive concrete traffic circle, various concrete curb and gutters, bleacher slabs, and floor slabs in the building were all completed during the month. Concrete flatwork will be one of the items in the highest gear as the project winds down. Future Project Outlook The building should be completely dried in by the first couple weeks of August and finish work will follow. The track is expected to be paved by the beginning of August and all concrete flatwork throughout the site should continue to stay at a high level of production. The site fencing, field lights, scoreboard, and public address speaker are all expected to begin installation in the next few weeks.
