Construction continues at Little Caesars Arena.
Today’s work includes a day long concrete pour for the main ice. Rink construction is built at standards that meet NHL requirements.
Pipe systems for both thawing and chilling have already been placed, as has support steel. In order to ensure that the concrete surface is level, two concrete pump trucks and a series of concrete delivery trucks will work non-stop creating one continuous pour.
After the pour is complete the ice will cure for 30 days. At the new Little Caesars Arena, the main ice level is nearly 40 feet below Woodward Avenue. In the coming weeks, crews will begin to install seats in the arena bowl.
