- Renovations Get Underway at Broomfield's Bay Aquatic Park
Renovations Get Underway at Broomfield's Bay Aquatic Park 2024-10-11 Share Share As the summer pool season comes to a close, construction is now underway at Broomfield’s Bay Aquatic Park. The $10 million “Phase IV” renovation project for the City and County of Broomfield includes the removal and replacement of the primary leisure pool, family slide, body slides, and slide plunge pool, along with the addition of deck space, shade structures, and a new mechanical building. Pinkard was the original general contractor for Bay Aquatic Park when it was first built in 1991, making it one of the first community water parks in the Denver metro area. After 30 years of use, the facility was in need of renovation due to age, condition, and updated health and building codes. In 2022, BHA Design, Inc. and their team, including aquatics architect Counsilman-Hunsaker, were selected to design the project. After funding was secured, Pinkard was awarded the project this past February. The original Bay Aquatic Park upon completion in 1991. Just weeks after closing for the Bay for the season, Pinkard Construction has already completed demolition and is currently in the excavation and site grading phase of the project. Working under an aggressive winter construction schedule, the goal is to reopen Bay Aquatic Park by early July, to ensure a partial summer 2025 season . When the project’s site constraints necessitated that construction vehicles be routed through the residential neighborhood located to the southeast, Pinkard and Broomfield officials devised an outreach plan that proactively engaged the affected residents. In addition to instituting strict hours and speed limits for construction vehicles in the neighborhood, enforced by ample signage and monitoring, City and Pinkard representatives are holding regular “Info Table + Free Coffee” events in neighboring Highland Park where residents can ask questions about the project and air concerns. “We want to be good neighbors,” says Broomfield CIP Manager Brian Graham. “While residents are understandably not thrilled with the construction traffic, many have expressed appreciation for us taking the time to listen to their concerns and for our efforts to mitigate construction impacts. Once soil export and import wraps up this month, the number of trucks entering the neighborhood will reduce significantly for the duration of the project.” For the latest info on the Bay Aquatic Park renovation, Broomfield residents can find project updates, upcoming “Info Table + Free Coffee” dates, and a live camera view of the site at: broomfieldvoice.com/thebayrenovations Learn More Pool and Natatorium Constuction See Projects Recreation Construction See Projects Bay Aquatic Park Phase IV Learn More Share This Story Share Share More News Sort By Topic Reset World Mental Health Day 2024 2024-10-10 Learn More Pinkard in the News: Dave Ruddy Talks to CBS About Construction Suicide Prevention Week 2024-09-12 Learn More Pinkard Hosts Second Annual Cornhole Tournament Supporting Mental Health 2024-09-17 Learn More The Value of a Pinkard Internship 2024-09-09 Learn More Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.

Thank you for your interest in The Irving at Mile High Vista. Footing Phase The newly erected crane is transporting material for our concrete footings. Please be assured that no loads will be suspended above the public. While the crane moves material overhead, do not be alarmed by the loud whistles inside the site, as this is a safety precaution for the workers below. As we establish a delivery routine, expect multiple large trucks maneuvering around the site throughout the day. Please respect the directions given by the workers as they are ensuring your safety. We appreciate your understanding and patience. The Crane is Coming We will be installing our tower crane this Friday and Saturday. For your safety, we have a couple of parking spots blocked off in the surrounding area. Please follow the signs and do not park here for these two days, as the trucks need these spaces to turn. Periodically, we may block the private drives while we unload equipment from trucks and help them maneuver this tight space. We appreciate your patience as we install this massive piece of equipment. Increased Activity Foundations have begun. We will also be finishing utility work in both surrounding private drives, so expect increased movement along the edges of our site. Our crane installation will be at the end of next week (9/27-9/28). For your safety, we will be closing the northernmost spots of the library parking lot. To replace the cordoned-off spots, please use the (5) marked Pinkard spots to the south on 9/27 and 9/28. As activity increases, please watch for workers crossing Irving to get to the site from the western dirt lot. Movement Time Drilling is done! We will be moving drilling equipment off-site and bringing in new equipment. Earlier this week, we fenced off the dirt lot west of Irving Street, so prepare for crew activity and staging to ramp up there. Use caution for the next few days as we expect increased site traffic during our transition into the next construction phase: foundations. In Motion Drilling has begun. Be aware that vibrations and loud noises will continue for the next few days and into next week. Please be patient and cautious when maneuvering around the large trucks delivering material down the private drives. We are excited to be building the foundation that will get us off the ground shortly. Shifting Lanes We are currently transitioning from dirt work to building foundations. As we prepare, there will be multiple large deliveries of equipment that may block the Eastern private drive for short periods. This can be detoured 20Bet online casinoby using the completely opened private drive south of the site and heading to Irving to access Colfax. Please be advised that drilling will start after the Labor Day holiday. We appreciate your patience as we begin to build. Noise is Near We are preparing the site for drilling. Starting Tuesday 8/27, please be aware that there will be large vibrations and sound levels coming from our site. This will continue for about two and a half weeks, and occur from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday. Simultaneously, the private drive is getting patched up and will be fully open for two-way traffic by the end of next week. New Site Entrance Our site entrance has moved to the NE corner of the site. The new location provides access for large deliveries along the edge of the eastern private drive. Please be cautious when driving down this lane, and be advised that you may be redirected to Irving St. in order to reach W Colfax. The covered sidewalk along the library will be installed this week to provide a safe pedestrian path from the Colfax redirect to the library entrance. Private Drive Work We are starting underground utility work this week. There are new concrete barriers in the private drive to the south of the site. These block a small portion of the lane, but still allow for two-way traffic. Please use caution when driving through as the lane is narrower than usual. The southernmost lane of Colfax has now been barricaded to prepare for the sidewalk shift along the north edge of the site. This lane will be closed for the duration of the project. Preparation Week We have finished removing dirt from the site and are now ready to start utility work! As we prepare to get people and equipment on site, please expect a sidewalk shift and bus lane closure on the north edge of the site along Colfax. For your safety, we will be putting traffic barriers along the bus lane so pedestrians can safely travel along the north edge of the site once our site fence extends across the existing sidewalk. We will also be installing a covered sidewalk between the site and the Denver Public Library in the coming week. Both the Colfax sidewalk reroute, and library covered sidewalk will be in place for the entire duration of the project. Please use these avenues to travel safely around the site. The Irving Week of 07.22.24 We are continuing soils excavation during the week of 07.22.24, awaiting our covered walk permit to redirect pedestrian traffic from ROW to enclosed walk in Colfax.

- Pinkard Hosts Second Annual Cornhole Tournament Supporting Mental Health
Pinkard Hosts Second Annual Cornhole Tournament Supporting Mental Health 2024-09-17 Share Share For the second year in a row, Pinkard Construction hosted a cornhole tournament for its employees last Friday. While there was plenty 20bet casino appof fun and games to be had, not to mention a dessert food truck, the day was also about acknowledging a serious topic: mental health. Capping off Construction Suicide Prevention Week—which Safety Manager Dave Ruddy spoke about with CBS News earlier in the week—the day’s pre-tournament festivities included a talk by Duke Rumley, executive director of Sober AF Entertainment (S.A.F.E.), a non-profit that provides resources and creates sober spaces at live events to combat the idea that you can’t have fun without drugs and alcohol. Rumley’s talk, which also included a demonstration of the life-saving anti-opioid spray NARCAN, was about identifying what addiction looks like, and how to help somebody who’s struggling with it. Explaining the connection between substance abuse and mental health, he said: “One of the core issues with addiction is that you are prey to misery and depression. When you get defeated, and you feel like there is no way out, a lot of people choose suicide. We're here today to tell people that there are lots of different resources that Pinkard offers, from Youturn Health to having a company culture that’s willing to talk about it, there’s a safe place to come and get help.” After a brief Q&A with Rumley, Dave Ruddy got on the mic to remind everyone to talk to each other, get to k now each other, and check in with each other. “We’re a family here,” he said. “We’ve got to watch each other’s backs.” And with that, the epic sandbag showdown commenced on the cornhole field.

- The Value of a Pinkard Internship
The Value of a Pinkard Internship 2024-09-09 Share Share A college internship can be an invaluable, even life-changing, experience for young people trying to find their footing in the workplace. Some of our very best and longest serving employees came straight to Pinkard from college. So we translate our promise to “Partner, Plan and Build Better” directly into our internship program. As part of our company’s greater belief in mentorship and continuous growth for employees at all stages of their career, Pinkard has long stressed the importance of providing a solid internship program. We believe in the valuable contributions that interns can make when given the opportunity, as well as the importance of training the next generation of construction industry talent. For starters that means paying our interns for their hard work, but the most important thing is providing hands-on experience, learning opportunities, and guidance for the duration of their time with us. With summer winding to a close, we talked with this year’s class of interns about what they learned on the job and how it shaped their outlooks on Pinkard, the construction industry, and their nascent careers. “I felt like Pinkard wanted to invest in my future” To begin with, we asked our interns how they chose to work at Pinkard Construction in the first place. Juliette: I chose Pinkard for my internship because it is a highly respected and long-standing company in the construction industry, known for its excellent employee satisfaction. Pinkard showed a strong belief in my potential and offered a clear vision and pathway for my development in the field. Kane: A lot of the relationships during internships are one-sided, where the company believes the intern needs the company more than the company needs the intern. I felt like Pinkard wanted to invest in my future and cared about my personal career goals just as much as I do. As for how their actual experience compared with their expectations, the results were glowing across the board. For the interns who were new to the construction world, the experience left them with a positive view of our industry. Cassie: I didn’t have many expectations going into this summer because I had never worked in construction before... [but] ...this was a great experience and exceeded my expectations. I learned so much about the world of construction and feel like I walked away knowing I enjoy working in this industry. Juliette: My experience at Pinkard has far exceeded my expectations. The team [I worked with] has gone above and beyond, offering insights and guidance that I could not have gained in a classroom setting. The hands-on experience here has been more educational than I could have imagined. This opportunity has changed my perspective on the industry, and the unwavering support and mentorship from the team 20Bet online casinohave been truly invaluable. “[My team’s] trust in me...greatly enhanced my confidence in my abilities.” When asked what surprised them about the experience, no one seemed to expect how involved Pinkard interns are in the real-world work that we do.

- Pinkard Helps Pull Off Surprise for Denver Film's Biggest Fundraiser
Pinkard Helps Pull Off Surprise for Denver Film's Biggest Fundraiser 2024-08-28 Share Share Last week, Denver Film—the same organization behind the Denver International Film Festival, Film on the Rocks, and the Sie Film Center—threw its annual Summer Scream fundraiser at Colorado's beloved Lakeside Amusement Park. While hard to describe, the night includes cinema-inspired installations and interactive performances (this year’s theme was the films of Winona Ryder), an open bar, and of course all the rides and vintage charm of Lakeside. It’s Denver Film’s biggest fundraising event of the year, not to mention the best party of the summer. In a night full of surprises, 20bet live casinothe biggest highlight was slated to be an unannounced appearance from Denver-based experimental drum-corps Itchy-O, which is known for wowing audiences around the country with their wild costumes, pyrotechnics, and crowd-roving performances. The only problem: the 50+ person band needed a secret place to hide before their big entrance, and as a non-profit organization, Denver Film had no budget to pay the several thousand dollars they were quoted to put up temporary fencing around the open pavilion where Itchy-O could prepare. Enter Pinkard Construction, which happens to be working up the street at 46th and Tennyson. When Denver Film reached out asking for help, we delivered 250 feet of the fencing and privacy coverings we usually use to brand our jobsites, allowing event organizers to shroud the band from unsuspecting passersby entering the amusement park, who probably assumed there was some sort of construction going on. When Itchy-O did march onto the scene at dusk, complete with smoke machines, lasers and a futuristic neon dragon, the shocked crowd went crazy. The surprise was a success. “Pinkard was crucial to the success of Summer Scream,” says Denver Film Events Specialist Esther Lopez. “Thanks to their team, Itchy-O was able to pull off a special surprise and crash our party!" “While Pinkard doesn’t have any plans to get deeper into event production,” says Pinkard President Tony Burke with a smile, “we loved being able to creatively assist a local non-profit in their mission of inspiring and surprising Colorado movie lovers.” Check out photos of this year's Summer Scream, including Itchy-O's performance, below.
