The project included a ballroom, pre-function space and a rooftop terrace, as well as providing an update to the lobby areas. The team faced two major challenges\u2014completing the work on the convention center while it was operational, and maintaining the look of the well-known \u201cblade roof\u201d while building the addition to the structure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Colorado Convention Center Expansion is an architectural and structural marvel that \u2026 faced many obstacles, including procuring 18 million pounds of steel and over $3 million worth of kitchen equipment, and coordinating the placement of a million-pound crane on the existing roof of an operational facility,\u201d says Jonathan Popiel, project manager at Hensel Phelps, the project\u2019s general contractor. \u201cDespite these challenges, the team achieved over 1.5 million work hours without a single lost-time safety incident. This success is a testament to the design-build approach, teamwork and dedication of everyone involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To ensure worker safety during the large amount of elevated work, Hensel Phelps instituted a \u201cladders last\u201d policy, which requires workers to first use a scissor lift or a scaffold for overhead construction, with ladders as a last option. Horizontal lifeline systems for steel erections were also put into place on columns, girders and beams as an additional safety feature.<\/p>\n<p>The expansion project was completed on time and on budget in February 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.enr.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Colorado Convention Center &#13; Denver &#13; Sports\/Entertainment &#13; Region: ENR Mountain States &#13; &#13; Submitted by: Hensel Phelps &#13; Owner: City and County of Denver &#13; Lead Design Firm: TVS &#13; General Contractor: Hensel Phelps &#13; Civil Engineer: SAN Engineering &#13; Structural Engineer: Martin\/Martin Consulting Engineers &#13; MEP Engineer: RK Mechanical &#13; Owner&#8217;s Representative: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1951355,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25172],"tags":[341541,23803,37305,341542,314882],"class_list":["post-1951354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-best-of-the-best-projects","tag-colorado","tag-denver","tag-hensel-phelps","tag-sports-entertainment"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Best-SportsEntertainment-Colorado-Convention-Center.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1951354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1951354"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1951354\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1951355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1951354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1951354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1951354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
