Oakland Coliseum Expansion: Robust Precast Seating Solutions

The Oakland Coliseum Expansion project in Oakland, CA, highlights the effective use of structural precast risers for stadium seating. Designed by HNTB and built by Tutor Saliba, this expansion showcases the benefits of using precast concrete to enhance the seating capacity and durability of a major sports venue. 

Structural precast risers were chosen for their strength and ability to withstand the high demands of a busy stadium environment. Produced off-site in a controlled setting, these risers ensured precise quality and consistent performance, meeting the project’s exacting standards. The off-site manufacturing process also contributed to a faster construction timeline, reducing on-site labor and minimizing waste.

The robust construction of the precast risers provided reliable and long-lasting seating, enhancing the overall experience for spectators. The low maintenance requirements of precast concrete further added to the project’s cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Additionally, the flexibility of precast concrete allowed for the integration of custom design elements, ensuring the seating aligned with the architectural vision of the expansion.

The Oakland Coliseum Expansion project exemplifies Willis Construction’s expertise in delivering high-quality precast solutions for large-scale sports facilities. This project demonstrates how structural precast concrete can efficiently and effectively meet the demands of expanding stadium seating, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.
