The promoter of the 2014 MLB opening series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks at the SCG, Moore Sports, engaged PPC to Project manage the design and construction of the bump-in and bump-out works to create an MLB standard facility at the SCG.
PPC worked closely with the MLB representatives in the US to finalise the brief and design of the works prior to the event.
Given the unique nature of the works the procurement of the contractors and suppliers was complex. PPC managed this utilising both Australian and American organisations which involved the logistics and import process.
The detailed design and construction of the MLB works required close integration and co-operation with the SCG Trust, in particular the head curator. PPC developed a positive and collaborative relationship with the SCG trust to enable the bump-in to be completed in 12 days and the bump-out in 7 days.
