The Look and Feel of Precast with Significantly Reduced
Cost and Weight

Glacier Bank Park is home of the Glacier Range Riders, a professional baseball team in the Pioneer Baseball League, a “Partner League” of Major League Baseball. One year after opening its new ballpark it won Ballpark Digest’s “Best of the Ballparks/Fan Favorite” vote.
Its owners were determined to create a ballpark that meets the stringent facility standards that MLB imposes on affiliated ballparks. After giving a good deal of consideration to the walking surface they chose Dant Clayton’s Hybrid Precast Stadium System. It was used throughout the seating bowl, giving the ballpark a high-quality feel.

Owners and architects are attracted to it for its sound-deadening attributes and configuration flexibility. It can work with any seat type, tread depth, railing system, and column grid. It maximizes water control and minimizes effects of thermal expansion. Its smaller sized panels help to speed up installation time because they’re easier to fit in tight areas, than traditional precast.

POPULAR ALTERNATIVE TO PRECAST CHANGES THE GAME

The Secret Sauce: Single Source for Foundations, Steel Fabrications, Decking Systems, Seating and Railing

The overriding benefit of selecting our Hybrid Precast Stadium System is the turnkey approach that clients who want to walk on concrete crave: a single source for steel design and fabrication, concrete decking, seating options and railing systems.

“The customer doesn’t need to sub out
individual products to other trades. We’re
providing the precast decking along with
the foundation, seating and railing from
one company, all within one scope.”
– Jim Lewis, Vice President of Sales
and Pre-Construction Services
“We’ve had a great relationship with Tulane
over the years. We built their baseball and tennis venues. When it came to their
football stadium on campus, we knew
 there wasn’t a lot of space so we customized the design. Bringing us in
early helped. With our Hybrid Precast, Yulman has the feel of precast but without the budget. It's the largest
stadium we’ve done in
Hybrid Precast.”
– Jamie Richardson, President and
Chief Executive Officer

Don't take our word for it.

  • "One of things I've seen change in the marketplace, post-covid, is the need to involve contractors earlier. Everyone is cost conscious. Architects want to draw things once, not two or three times. In my experience, bringing Dant Clayton in earlier allows the architect to be more efficient with their time and enables them to be more profitable. Procurement is also easier. We’re still educating owners and architects on the value of Dant’s design assist offering, but the ones who have experienced it first-hand are starting to embrace it.”

Over 60,000 square feet of Hybrid Precast concrete was used to build Tulane University’s Yulman Stadium, which seats 30,000 spectators. Ours was the only turnkey concrete seating bowl system available. The system was a good solution for neighborhood concerns about height and sound, and achieved the university’s goal to meet budget.
