IMPACT works to create more work opportunities for the ironworkers and their signatory contractors. IMPACT provides its members, a wide range of amazing programs and services.

IMPACT has evolved over the years to better serve its members.

Approximately 16,500 tons of steel were used on the structural side with a total of 23,501 tons fabricated to complete the entire stadium project. The erection of the stadium steel was 100 percent done by SME Steel Industries through Ironworkers Union local 377 out of San Francisco. “At one point in time we had over 300 ironworkers on the site at the same day,” Salak said. “So we ran four cranes. This cooperation allowed us to complete all of the steel erection in about five months. It was a group and team effort. Everyone from the design team to the general contractor (Turner/Devcon joint venture) and the sub-contractors provided a true collaboration for a stadium of this size.

We wish you a warm and wonderful holiday! Merry Christmas to you all!

What could we have done better? We need to raise awareness and communicate about all the wonderful services IMPACT provides its members.
