Devon Park Stadium
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Client: Restek, Inc.
Project Duration: January 27 – January 29, 2025
Project Website: Devon Park
Project Manager: Ryan McDonald
Contractor: Tyler Beaty
Scope & Systems
- Surface: Upper deck pedestrian areas
- System Type: Slip-resistant pedestrian traffic coating
- AVM Systems Used:
- AVM Epoxy Primer 401 FC
- AVM System 520
- AVM System 620
Construction Process Overview
Pedestrian traffic coating was installed over the upper deck of Devon Park Stadium to improve both safety and durability. The installation team began by preparing the surface and applying AVM’s high-performance products: Primer 401 FC, System 520, and System 620.
Challenges & Solutions
Due to the project’s short duration, efficient scheduling and execution were critical. AVM’s systems allowed for a quick yet high-performance installation. The coating was applied effectively, ensuring minimal disruption to stadium operations.
Results
The upper deck received a protective, slip-resistant surface that enhances pedestrian safety and appearance while reducing future maintenance. The completed installation supports long-term durability and structural integrity.
Design Integration
- Design Goal: Create a safe, long-lasting pedestrian surface to withstand high foot traffic while preserving the concrete structure underneath.
- AVM’s liquid-applied pedestrian systems allowed for rapid installation over the existing deck surface, reinforcing substrate integrity and reducing site downtime. The seamless coating design improved water resistance and traction, ideal for public stadium use.
System Selections & Benefits
| System | Purpose | Design Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| AVM Epoxy Primer 401 FC | Substrate Conditioning | Superior adhesion and protection for the concrete base |
| AVM System 520 | Intermediate Coating | Added reinforcement and flexibility for surface movement |
| AVM System 620 | Pedestrian Waterproofing | Slip-resistant, durable surface for heavy foot traffic |
Technical Collaboration
Close collaboration between AVM’s technical team and the on-site crew was essential for this fast-paced, pedestrian-focused installation. Despite a tight schedule and the need for surface protection upgrades, the team delivered on performance expectations. AVM provided on-call technical support and product guidance to ensure system compatibility and long-term durability.
