EXPERIENCE .1 West Construction & West Architecture + Design, along with Team Pain's 20+ years experience in design and construction of custom skate parks have given the company an ability to understand and work through the various and unique circumstances involved with skate park development. With West Construction's heavy emphasis of work consisting in the public sector, along with much of that being public parks, our team has the experience of working with local governments to bring projects in within budget and complying with diversified aesthetic expectations. Additionally, since working nationwide, Team Pain's experience takes into account diverse soil conditions, water tables and drainage issues to address solutions with methods to resolve them. As a skate park specialist based in Florida, the region's low water tables have made us aware of the effects that concrete surfaces play on the environment. Our team has worked closely with water management districts to ensure that parks (both traditional and skateboard) are designed using it's natural site grades and elevations to incorporate natural drainage and run-off systems as well as utilizing imported fill in replace of retaining walls for environmental protec- tion. 80% of Team Pain's projects have included public participation and thier experience with local skating communities is an important step that has provided the client with a clearer understanding of the skate park lifestyle and the important role the city plays in providing a well designed and built skate park for their community. Having this experience allows local skaters to intimately associate with Team Pain and engages them in the public process, while thier professional experience has allowed us to answer any questions or concerns the community and client may have. Our experience has involved utilizing local contractors and the city's public works departments to pre- pare the site for the skate park as well as finalizing any amenities involved in a project to allows us to concentrate on the specialized nature of the skate park work. We work off typical cross-sections to en- sure structural integrity of the skate park and implement the inspection and testing process, providing security and certainty to the client. Our skate parks are designed and built with a method that utilizes typical construction of the skate slabs and is implemented into the site by the local engineer. This method further employs a process that allows our crew to maximize and enhance the skate environment on site, while staying within budget and the original concept to ensure a quality skate park. We also im- plement various materials, applications and mediums to allow for a cohesive design and compatible aes- thetics to the city's overall vision including the use of our own customized skateArt. From traditional parks and large destination skate parks to small community skate parks, the West Con- struction Team's experience and collaborations has allowed the company to develop relations with many municipalities across the country. To date, Team Pain has completed 18 custom concrete municipal skate park facilities in the State of Florida alone.
