Metuchen Sportsplex
This building was constructed with pre-engineered structural steel frames and a standing-seam roof system. The Sportsplex is a “clear span building,” without beams on any kind of the playing fields.
"REDCOM constructed the Sportsplex at Metuchen at 215 Durham Avenue in 2011. The project was professionally and competitively bid and change orders were thoroughly vetted, value-engineered when possible and justified. When contaminated soils and groundwater were encountered they followed all established protocols and NJDEP regulations in isolating, segregating, separating, storing and properly disposing of all contaminated materials while minimizing delays in site work and construction. As many as six years after our certificate of occupancy we had several occasions to call and consult with our project manager and others at REDCOM. Everyone was still working there, a testament to a corporate culture that treats their employees well and provides a positive work environment. Moreover, in every case they provided satisfactory warranty work, as necessary, and professional advice and guidance on operational and structural issues well outside the original work scope. As we proceed to the final phase of our Metuchen development we have every intention of using REDCOM on a negotiated sole source contract basis, a testament to their integrity and value-added approach to the design-build process."
