The adage “time is money” is certainly relevant to many industries as it relates to building renovations and the cost of downtime, interruptions to services or inconveniences to customers. To the casino industry, the phrase is even more literal. Any interruptions to revenue generating operations come at great expense to the owner.

That is why Perini Building Company -- the largest builder of hotels and casinos in the United States and general contractor for new construction and renovation of the Resorts International Casino in Atlantic City -- and the owner of Resorts Casino looked to create a team that could bring together both engineering and construction expertise for a critical path concrete repair and strengthening project. They assembled a team that included Structural Group -- one of the nation’s leading specialty contractors in concrete repair -- and Lochsa Engineering -- one of the premier design groups for casino construction and renovations.
