Faced with the constraints of an extremely narrow site, the Electric Park Garden Bar addition team found ways to leverage prefabrication to reduce downtime for subcontractors and keep the project on track. The 3,000-sq-ft addition was built on a former loading dock, squeezed between two operational facilities. Additionally, train tracks crossed directly north of the site, limiting construction access to one narrow entry point at the south end.
“Our superintendent described the site as ‘five guys in a phone booth,’” says Joe Kamler, project manager at JE Dunn Construction.
