Delaware Stadium is a 22,000-seat multi-purpose stadium for the University of Delaware. The stadium configuration has precast concrete Grandstands on the east and west sides, with the Press Box on the top of the West Grandstand, and permanent metal bleachers on the north and south End Zones.

TBS was engaged to survey the existing conditions of the Stands, which included quantifying damaged and spalling precast concrete, identifying failed sealant joints, and providing a report outlining our findings and recommendations on necessary remedial work.

TBS then documented the necessary exterior repairs, which included repairs to the concrete masonry units and concrete landings at the ramps, repair of damaged concrete, removal of all of the existing sealant, installation of a new slip-resistant high performance elastomeric coating system, and installation of custom-colored fiberglass panels at the upper section of the Stands.
