There are big projects, and then there are huge projects.
And every once in a while there are truly enormous projects. The Baha Mar
Casino and Hotel in the Bahaman capital of Nassau is one of those enormous
projects, earning the label of the largest construction project in the Western
Hemisphere.
Given the pure scale of the task at hand, unique challenges related
to size, international expertise, and the timeline are bound to arise. China
Construction America (CCA), the project’s international construction management
firm, coordinated the design and assembly of the $4.3 billion resort to include
three separate hotels, a 9,290m2 casino, and a 2,787m2 spa. A water feature that
spans 182m in circumference and 15m high was also to be built, along with
installing tile and stone throughout the resort’s many bathrooms, floors and
common areas.
CCA chose to utilize LATICRETE products because of the
company’s track record, capacity and product portfolio to meet the needs of
this massive undertaking. “The technical expertise of LATICRETE and the
company’s international presence lends itself to projects of this size,” said
Wayne Hoerning, LATICRETE International Regional Manager for the Caribbean. “We
worked with CCA during the Beijing Olympics, so they knew we had a team of
experts that could be on the ground within days to deliver high-quality
products and service.”
