Raymond’s Las Vegas region recently completed the Resorts World Theatre project, part of the Resorts World Las Vegas development. The theater is a state-of-the-art, 5,000-capacity, concert and entertainment venue with two private lounges, special access bars, and VIP opportunities. Raymond was contracted by W.A. Richardson to complete framing, firestopping, drywall, finishes, painting, wallcoverings, and acoustical ceilings and treatments.
To help fulfill the project’s scaffolding needs, Raymond partnered with Leading Edge – a full service scaffolding company that provides complete scaffolding design, engineering, erection, and dismantle services. Raymond and Leading Edge were challenged on the theater project with keeping the area below the scaffolding open and minimizing exposure of the framing and concrete work that would be going on below.
The team came up with the concept of a rolling unit to minimize the point load on the bottom cords, speed up erection and take down time, ease accessibility with ability to take a manlift directly to the scaffold platform, and open the underfloor allowing other trades to work concurrently.
