Abstract
- The construction of the 11-storey MCI Center pushed through despite financial problems, contractual difficulties and regulatory conflicts. Contractors had to deal with the treatment of 7,400 tons of petroleum-contaminated soil, which caused the project about $2.5 million. As a result, steel erections and foundation installation had to be resequenced. Developers also had to come up with various methods to comply with strict subway construction standards. The 220,000-sq-ft stadium, which will be the home arena of Washington's Wizards and Capitals, features a subterranean parking area and a hockey oval.
