Miller Park
In 1999, a crawler crane collapsed during construction of Miller Park in Milwaukee, WI. The incident resulted in a 1-year delay in the opening of the 43,000-seat, fan-shaped operable roof facility that is the home of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Chubb & Son, a division of Federal Insurance Company engaged HOV Services (Meridian Consulting Group) to provide onsite construction management to assist the Builder's Risk insurance carrier in its adjustment of the multi-million dollar claim.
