When HCH Miller Park Joint Venture (Huber,
Hunt and Nickels, Clark, Hunzinger) was
awarded the contract for Miller Park, the new
home of the Milwaukee Brewers, they had
concerns about several important aspects of
the concrete construction.
The first problem area was the 2,500 foot
long, twenty foot tall perimeter wall for the
service level of the ball park. They needed an
architectural finish with a minimum of joints
and tie holes to finish. To address this concern,
Symons® by Dayton Superior proposed using
20' high by 10' wide Max‑A‑Form panels. The
steel face of the forms provided the required
finish, and the large size of the panels reduced
the number of joints. In addition, the strength
of the system allowed the contractor to use a
high rate of pour even with just five Taper Ties
per panel. The low number of ties saved the
contractor time and labor in the setting and
stripping operations and in patching tie holes.
