USA BMX Headquarters

Fleming Steel Erectors Works Through Pandemic Challenges to Complete PEMB Construction of USA BMX Headquarters On-Time and On-Budget

As a company that has called Tulsa home since 1946, the Fleming Construction Group was thrilled when BMX announced they were building their new arena and corporate headquarters in North Tulsa’s Greenwood District. When the Construction Manager, Nabholz Construction, announced that Fleming Steel Erectors was selected to furnish and erect the specified pre-engineered buildings and roofing, we were elated. 

Partnering with longtime supplier, Butler Manufacturing, to design and supply a pre-engineered building package that had all of the elements that BMX required, Fleming Steel Erectors delivered two buildings – a 125K square foot arena, featuring 272’ clear span; and an approximately 25K square foot hall of fame building. The erection, which began in October, 2020 was completed on-time and on-budget, with zero recordable safety incidents, despite numerous challenges including pandemic-era supply chain bottlenecks, a steel coil shortage, and an historic February cold-snap. 

Fleming Steel Erectors self-performed 90% of the on-site man hours, with the remaining 10% performed by local affiliates to meet the contract’s small business enterprises (SBE) community-support requirements. The arena’s 272’ clear span main frames were erected over a 15-foot racetrack and ramp pit, making the 100,000-pound steel ‘mod’ lifts a mid-winter challenge that deftly illustrated FSE’s capabilities as steel erection pros.
