Raiders Stadium in Las Vegas
Derr & Isbell Construction Company and Union Erectors, LLC are working with Iron Workers Local 433 in Las Vegas on the $1.8 billion, 65,000-seat Las Vegas stadium project. The project has reached halfway point with 44% of the work completed. Eleven of the 26 canopy trusses on the stadium perimeter have been installed with the help of two super cranes and a small army of ironworkers responsible for the precision placement of the steel that will support the translucent stadium roof. The roof will be assembled on the stadium floor and lifted into place. All the trusses are expected to be in place by July. Project completion is still 14 months away.  Learn more
