The project had a very tight deadline, as the renovations needed to be completed before the 2025 MLB season. To ensure that the project stayed on schedule, Schnabel’s team worked overtime, including double shifts and Saturdays. The company’s commitment to maintaining a fast-paced schedule allowed the project to remain on track despite the challenging timeline. Schnabel’s Research & Development (R&D) and Equipment Division were key to the success of this project. These teams created specialized tools, such as custom augers and paddles welded to the casing, to mix the soil for the walls. These tools helped make sure the soil mix was just right for the job. The R&D team also assisted with the soil mix design and conducted thorough tests to ensure everything met the required performance standards.

Schnabel successfully completed the installation of the temporary ERS and micropiles two weeks ahead of schedule. This early completion provided the client with a valuable buffer in their timeline, which helped ensure that the overall renovation project stayed on course for the re-opening of Progressive Field before the start of the 2025 MLB season. The work performed by Schnabel facilitated the first player-centric improvement in the stadium’s history to be completed on time, setting the stage for the next phase of renovations at Progressive Field.
