Customers are greeted with a dazzling array of lighting and design elements that enhance the entertainment experience. Flex-Ability Concepts,Oklahoma City, supplied approximately 2,800 linear feet
(853 m) of 20-gauge Flex-C Trac in 2 1/2-,3 5/8- and 6-inch (64-, 92- and 152-mm) widths that were utilized to frame the intricate radiuses. A limited amount of 4-inch (102-mm) 18-gauge Flex-C Trac was also used.
“To say the job was daunting was putting it mildly,” said Dennis Cooper, owner of Hammer Construction, Duncanville, Texas, the framing contractor. “There were 120 pages of blueprints that included barrels, half-barrels, clouds-just about every type of radius you could think of. The crew had never seen anything like this before. But it’s doable with a product like Flex-C Trac. The crew picked it up quickly.”
Cooper had used Flex-C Trac before, but on much smaller jobs. “This was our first experience with hanging a ‘pie in the sky.’ All of the hanging elements were daunting. Anybody can draw a radius and shoot the track down on the floor. But to build both the top and bottom and the entire element on the floor and then get it up is challenging,” Cooper said. “On some of the elements, we drew the diameter on the floor and then lasered up to the deck where we were fastening the Flex-C Trac to the iron up above.”
Cooper also liked Flex-C Trac’s new Hammer-Lock feature that allows the shaped flexible track to be held in place by simply hammering down tabs in each link of the track.
Mishler Builders Inc., Rockwall, was the general contractor, and Longhorn Supply, Dallas, was the distributor.
