Construction of a new Scheels “destination” store in Lincoln continues to progress. The store is located just to the east of its existing store at SouthPointe Pavilions in Lincoln.
Sampson Construction is working on the 220,000+ square-foot Scheels building, which when complete will be three times the size of the existing Lincoln store that opened in 2000. Upon completion in September 2018, the existing store will be removed for a new parking structure.
Ready Mixed Concrete in Lincoln has been working with Sampson from the beginning of the Southpointe Pavilions revamp to make enough space for the size of the new Scheels store. Ready Mixed has provided all the concrete for the project and has worked close with Sampson specifically on the Scheels project for design and quality control of the different concrete mixes from the aquatic concrete mix for the 16,000 gallon aquarium to the flowable fill used to incase the underground HVAC ducts. Quality control is an important part of this project and to date, there has been zero failed tests, which is reflective of the hard work the team of employees has put into the product provided. When completed, Ready Mixed will have supplied approximately 6,000 cubic yards.
Reimers Kaufman and Watkins have supplied masonry accessories to JM2 along with concrete block, while U-MIX Products will supply bulk bagged core fill masonry grout and bulk bagged Type-N Mortar.
Concrete Industries supplied concrete and manholes.
