DC United StadiumThe National Capital Section is pleased to announce the November Section meeting will feature an update and discussion by Turner Construction Company and A+F Engineers on the new home of DC United, Audi Field.

Currently under construction, the 20,000-seat stadium is located on a 13-acre former industrial site in Southwest DC known as Buzzard Point. To enable construction, the team has performed substantial utility relocation, demolition, and 30,000 CY of contaminated soil removal and replacement. Presently, structural work is underway which is comprised of 6000 tons of structural steel framing with 600 pieces of precast stadia. This structure sits atop approximately 300 auger cast piles and 4200 CY of grade beams reinforced with over 1000 tons of rebar. Heavy construction work will eventually give way to the installation of a natural Bermuda grass playing field that is currently being grown on Maryland’s eastern shore.

The completed stadium will feature 31 luxury suites, a bike valet, and 500,000 SF of mixed-use /retail, and possibly on-site renewable energy sources, as the project is pursuing LEED gold certification. In addition to soccer, the facility is designed and built to host football, lacrosse, concerts, and other entertainment and community events.

With a groundbreaking on 27 February 2017, utilizing a design-build delivery model, this complex project is has a very tight timeline; substantial completion is scheduled for mid-July 2018. Join us this month to find out more about current progress and challenges faced in design and construction.
