P&J Knocks It out of the Park with Major League Project P&J’s Industrial & Commercial Group, as a subcontractor for Tandem/Barton Malow, took on a massive project for the Atlanta Braves, its first in the athletic niche. With this project, P&J’s Industrial & Commercial Group demonstrated capabilities to a new client base and opened the door to new types of projects for the company.
Troy Watral, P&J’s area manager in charge of the project, managed many moving parts to ensure our work was completed in time for the big game. Watral explains that we’ve accomplished what, with design changes, amounts to two years of work in one year and a few months. We were able to achieve this by remaining flexible, adapting to the environment, and creating solutions to the challenges. Our flagship office in Zephyrhills has been an integral part of this project. With local personnel, equipment, a full maintenance shop, and strong ties in the state, we have the perfect foundation for growth throughout the state of Florida. P&J’s Industrial & Commercial Group is ideally situated to serve Florida and the rest of the Southeast, and we are continuing to build upon the strong reputation that P&J has built over the years.
What’s exciting for P&J is that professional athletics facilities are a new potential opportunity within the Industrial & Commercial Group. This project isn’t just a big deal for us—the Atlanta Braves will play their last preseason game in March 2019 in this new stadium. The job, which began in October 2017, is located in North Port, Florida, and consists of a baseball stadium, two major league practice fields, four minor league practice fields, two Fungo fields, one agility field, and multiple pitching mounds and practice tunnels. This immense project set on a 100-acre site is to be completed in time for the spring training games in 2019.
