Olympic Jumping Complex
The Olympic Regional Development Authority has been updating and improving the existing facilities and site infrastructure to meet the standards necessary to host and organize future competitive events. We were tasked with lengthening two ski jump outruns bringing them into compliance with international jumping standards so the venue could resume its role as a world-class venue. The project started in mid-winter, with a substantial completion goal of early fall. Due to an unseasonably late thaw, substantial work began in early April. The Jumping Complex Outrun reconstruction involved the demolition of existing outrun structures, establishment of new profiles and installation of concrete surfaces creating new 100- meter and 128-meter jumps. Site work included construction of an elevated steel structure, retaining walls, deflection boards, and stairs at both jumps. Additionally, the team built a new structural steel observation platform; installed underdrains, irrigation, and site drainage; drilled shaft lighting foundations, site electrical and new asphalt pavement and slope stabilization.
