The
Idaho Center is an approximately 100,000 square feet concrete and structural
steel facility in Nampa, Idaho.
The Center houses the annual Snake River Stampede Rodeo as well as the Idaho
Stampede, a professional basketball team. The Center is also used for other
sporting events, trade shows, conventions, and concerts.
We were responsible for the structural steel design for the structure. Six
main trusses support the roof.
There
are two horizontal trusses in the roof system running east and west which
are designed to transfer lateral loads from wind and seismic to the vertical
brace systems.
We also did the site design for the 55 acres. The design included grading,
storm drainage, and a site utility plan including water, sewer, pressure
irrigation, power, telephone, and gas.
This included an extension to the City of Nampa sewer, water, and pressure
irrigation systems.
