| TSA University of Phoenix Stadium |
TSA
CARDINALS MULTI PURPOSE FACILITY - Over
the last few years EKA has had considerable involvement with the development of the $262 million TSA Cardinals Multi Purpose
facility. We were first involved with the design of the site in Tempe and are the building civil engineers responsible for
the design of the stadium facility in Glendale. For the project, EKA first provided the Mass Excavation package for the Stadium.
This package called for clearing and site preparation of 68 acres of the 166-acre site and excavation and placement of roughly
800,000 cubic yards of material. It was important to complete Mass Excavation Plans and get the grading permit from the City
of Glendale to allow earliest start of construction. This package also established the design parameters and horizontal location
of the MSE retaining wall system that circles the stadium bowl. EKA prepared the Horizontal Gridline Control Plan for the
layout and construction of the approximately 550 columns required for the project. Over the design and construction period,
EKA has been involved in the programming efforts for the outboard field and hardscape, cost estimating and value engineering,
the design document phase and construction administration of the project. EKA prepared the civil construction documents for
the rollout field slab design and drainage design of the outboard field. Also included was the preparation of Division 2 specifications
related to the work depicted on the civil plans. Included within the scope of the project is a future package that will address
the Grading, Drainage and Paving plans for the plaza hardscape area. This project is a design build effort that requires coordination
with the stadium design team located in offices around the country, coordination with the infrastructure design team under
contract with the city, and coordination with the contractor. Limited construction administration services are also being
provided to the contractor.

| US Airways Center - (America West Arena) |
AMERICA WEST ARENA - The project included design surveys and plans for relocation of
existing utilities. An early grading package was prepared as well as plans for grading, drainage, storm
sewer, sanitary sewer, water lines, fire lines and paving. The firm completed all on-site and off-site
civil engineering for this project. The site preparation plans were completed for the City of Phoenix and
the on-site plans were prepared in conjunction with the plans for the site completed for Ellerbe-Beckett. Associated
with the Suns Arena, EKA prepared design and construction documents to relocate a 42- inch water line and coordinated utility
conflicts. The site was designed around the historic Sun Mercantile building. The Jefferson
Street realignment included field surveys, preparation of paving plans, landscaping plans, phasing and
detour plans, water line relocations , storm drainage and specialty landscape plans.
