Safety Management Group Assists Berkel at Atlantic City Project

Images of Revel Entertainment's Casino project taken in January 2008 show the site work that was underway and the scope of the project. The two towers to be built on the site will be the tallest in Atlantic City.

 

Atlantic City, New Jersey -- Two Safety Management Group associates have assisted a well-known contractor during their important phase of a large casino construction project in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Tracy Schmidt

  

Revel Entertainment’s Casino project will encompass two large towers with almost 2,000 rooms each and a large casino exceeding 168,000 square feet. The $2.5 billion project will include the creation of Revel Beach, a sandy area at the far corner of the complex next to the boardwalk that will feature a nightclub, retail space and dining options. Additionally, a 5,000-seat event center and another 600-seat theater as well as a spa and fitness center with indoor and outdoor swimming pools will be part of the complex expected to open in 2010.

Berkel and Company is a well-established national contractor specializing in Auger Pressure Grouted (AGP) piles and Auger Pressure Grouted Displacement (APGD) Piles for the construction industry. Their services were especially useful for the Atlantic City project due to its close proximity to the ocean.
 


The piles installed by Berkel (approximately 8,000 on this project) ensure the weight of the complex is properly supported to prevent the casino from sinking into the Atlantic.

Berkel contacted Safety Management Group to help them with the completion of their phase of the project. Tracy Schmidt was immediately dispatched to the project and assisted the contractor with surpassing the safety expectations of the client. Tom Riley eventually relieved Tracy and completed the project and is now assisting Berkel with additional development of their safety programs.

 

Tracy and Tom assisted Berkel at the site by interpreting the safety requirements of the owner and implementing Berkel's safety procedures.

Berkel’s dedication to contractor safety will be an important factor as they continue to bid and perform work at Atlantic City and elsewhere. Currently, there are plans over the next three years for US$20 billion worth of casino, hotel, restaurant and retail construction and renovation projects in the Atlantic City area.
