Las Vegas-based Station Casinos Station Casinos Inc. NYSE: STN is a Las Vegas, Nevada based gaming company. The company purchased several sites that were gaming-entitled meaning that major casinos can be built at that location without additional approvals. Inc., acting as the developer of the project for the UAIC, selected Perini for the $115 million construction contract. The entire project will be complete in June 2003. "Currently we are turning over the casino back-of-house, fire station, and the fresh water, wastewater treatment and central plants," said Joe Haley, operations manager for Perini Building Co. In June, Perini will deliver the approximately 200,000 square foot casino, three restaurants, a 500-seat buffet and the fire station. The race to finish Thunder Valley Casino stems from a California law that states that licenses awarded by the State of California for slot machines must be in operation within one year of being granted. This requirement and the time spent adhering to very strict environmental laws account for the project's extremely tight construction schedule. "Every day counts on this project. Even though not all of the drawings were complete at the start of construction, we had an established plan of attack. We identified a number of critical path items and have looked for every opportunity to gain ground," said Haley. "Teamwork and experienced partners sum up how we have managed to hit all of our milestones. We are familiar with how tribal nations operate and we have previous experience working with Station Casinos, the architect, JMA jma Jour Mois Année (French: day month year) JMA Japan Management Association JMA Japan Medical Association JMA Japanese Meteorological Agency JMA Jamaica Manufacturers' Association JMA Joint Marketing Agreement , and a majority of the subcontractors on this job," said Haley. Constructing an approximately $215 million project in less than 220 days has required a focused effort. Some of the challenges Perini managed to overcome include working through the rainy season. Under normal conditions, work would have ceased in such heavy rain. At Thunder Valley Casino, crews built temporary roof enclosures for an uninterrupted work flow; furthermore, protected wetlands surround the property requiring dewatering Dewatering (dē′wöd·ər·iŋ) is the removal of water from solid material or soil by wet classification, centrifugation, filtration, or similar solid-liquid separation processes. and other mitigation measures to protect those areas.
