Said Differently - A Barton Malow Podcast

S2, Episode #2 - Under Pressure: Raising the Roof on the Pontiac Silverdome

Barton Malow Season 2 Episode 2

In this episode of Said Differently, we revisit the Pontiac Silverdome project that changed both sports construction and Barton Malow. From use of the Construction Management delivery method that helped the team quickly adapt to challenges to the first-of-its-kind 12-acre inflatable fabric roof, the Silverdome was lauded as an engineering marvel of its time.

Chief Community Officer Ben Maibach III, a Vice President at the time of the Silverdome’s construction, joins the podcast to discuss the project. Also included is archival audio from then-Barton Malow President Rollie Wilkening and then-Chairman of the Board Ben Maibach Jr.
