Logistics Project Management MSG Sphere Las Vegas, NV

After a successful project with the Stream Team to the Google Data Center, Rolling Plains knew who to turn to for their next high-profile project, the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas, NV. 

Located on 18 acres, just East of the Venetian Resort, the MSG Sphere is not only a state of the art entertainment venue, but a piece of art on the Las Vegas Strip. Awarded a contract to supply all of the structural steel for the sphere, Rolling Plains knew not only their brand, but their reputation was on the line delivering to one of the most recognizable cities on the planet. 

Each load would need to arrive on-site on the day of install, meaning the stakes were high. With approximately 600 personnel on-site at the sphere, down-time due to late deliveries not only equated to thousands of dollars per hour, but would create a domino effect, disrupting the other construction trades. Understanding what was one the line, we sprung into action.

Our solution was to dedicate a handful of long trusted partners who not only employed multiple drivers’, but had years of experience hauling with Stream.  With so much on the line, this solution not only offered guaranteed transportation capacity in an uncertain market, but peace of mind to both Stream and Rolling Plains knowing each driver held themselves to a higher standard, and more importantly, understood what was on the line. 

This solution not was not only beneficial to Stream and Rolling Plains, but to each driver as well. Driver’s face a certain amount of uncertainty, specifically not always knowing where their next load is, or even what it will be. Utilizing a consistent rotation of dedicated driver’s offered each one of them peace of mind by allowing them to become familiar with the load, route and expectations of both the shipper and consignee.

The result was 300+ successfully delivered loads hauling 7,600+ tons of steel, and zero hours of downtime at the sphere due to logistics or the supply chain. Through our partner carrier’s who share our same core values, and our team’s dedication to service, this project truly highlighted what we do best, caring about our client’s reputation as much as they do.
