Overview

In the spring of 2024, Mortenson Construction awarded the United Village Sculpture Garden project to Bolander. Located just north of the Minnesota United Allianz Stadium, the garden is home to the new nearly 33-foot-tall Loon sculpture, which weighs approximately 25 tons.

Bolander was contracted to perform site mass excavation, install three drilled pier foundations for the Loon sculpture, construct storm sewer systems, install an irrigation day tank and system, and prepare the subgrade for decorative concrete pavement and landscaping. The project was on a tight schedule, requiring us to work many long summer days to complete our tasks before the arrival of the Loon structure.

Project Highlights:

  • Installation of three 36” diameter x 36’ deep drilled pier foundations
  • Installation of 840 linear feet of storm sewer
  • Installation of irrigation day tank and system

Bolander successfully completed all scheduled milestones, ensuring the site was ready for the arrival of the Loon structure.
